Abstract	The aim of this session is to discuss the making of space, both in a physical and symbolic way, in areas of the west during the early Middle Ages. In order to explore this topic, papers will discuss economic networks and coercive influence in Carolingian spaces, and, with a more ideological approach, how spaces are formatted and conceived in saintly narratives, more specifically the Vita Columbae. It is hoped that these analyses will bring forth early medieval perceptions of spatial thought.
