Abstract | This session investigates representations and symbols of empire. P. Rajca treats the medieval world of signs and symbols as a empire and examines some sectors of this realm: the colours, the representations of women, and the tombstone figures. Her point of depart is symbolic vision of reality. T. Węcławowicz examines the structures of urban space and architecture in early medieval Poland, inspired by the works of Carolingian and Ottonian empire. J. Kuska analyses the miniatures from the Liber pontificalis of Bishop Erasm Ciołek representing the liturgy of coronation of Polish kings. She discoveries in them the royal ideology in both secular and religious matters and investigates the relationship beetween text and image. |
