| Abstract | Paper -a:
From the 11th to the 13th centuries, the feudal Power legitimated itself and it used, among other resources, the romanesque church and liturgy. In this context an 'audiovisual' language was developed, with a complementary discourse between images and sermons. To demonstrate this hypothesis will be analysed and compared: 1) The rhetoric of sermon; 2) The creation of a message of images that had to be understood by people
Paper -b:
Since the 11th-12th century the vast and rich lands of the Russian North had been involved into the sphere of political and economical interests of Novgorod the Great, but the Russian progress to the North had not only these entirely practical aspects. From the ecclesiastical point of view this movement towards the cold and hostile pagan periphery of the Christian oikoumene was to be considered the continuation of apostolic enlightenment and also its inclusion into the borders of the Russian Orthodox world. We propose to investigate the history of this expansion through the emergence and evolution of architectural forms of new founded churches as symbols, manifesting their close connection with monastic tradition, and from the end of the 15th century becoming the comprehensible indications of the presence of the Muscovite state in the Russian North.
