Abstract | These sessions aim to explore ways of remembering, or acts of memory, related to the figure of Birgitta of Sweden, as well as the order she founded. The premise of these panels is that many ways of remembering her were a conscious choice. The act of memory could take place in the way monastic communities formed a memoria rerum, in the way liturgy was used or in the way sermons were compiled by the priest-brothers. If acts of memory tie the present of the enunciation with the past, we seek to explore the similarities and differences of these acts and how they shape our perceptions of the past. |
