| Abstract | Medieval charters and archives were a natural component of an institution's memory: acts and deeds constituted primarily a way to keep and preserve the remembrance of a legal or para-legal action for the future. But beyond this evident fact, such documents could also be used to produce, or take part in, specific memorial discourses. This session seeks to explore the production of memorial discourse in various types of single-sheet documents at different levels of granularity, from individual charters to letter collections and, finally, 'diplomatic big data.' |
