Abstract | This session takes up the idea of the construction/invention of heresy but without presuming that this is the whole story to be told about religious dissent in medieval Christianity. Speakers will inquire into ways heretics are named in medieval texts and/or in modern scholarship, and will discuss the identities - polemical or dissident, imposed or negotiated - behind these labels. |
