Abstract | This is the fourth of four sessions bringing results and questions from the EuroCORECODE project 'Symbols that Bind and Break Communities: Saints' Cults as Stimuli and Expressions of Local, Regional, National and Universalist Identities' under the European Science Foundation. The collaborative and interdisciplinary project investigates the significance of saints in the context of developing regional and trans-regional identities dealing with changes, revisions and other transformations within individual, local or communal appropriations of transmitted materials from medieval saints' cults. In this session, the focus is on homiletic and musical representation of sainthood as a marker of values and identity for the community venerating a saint. |
