| Abstract | The medievalist traditions of prosopographical research and modern social network studies have much in common. However, the material implications of these approaches have not yet been fully explored. By examining both physical objects and texts, the papers of this session seek to understand medieval networks of political power, religious affiliation, and the exchange of goods and ideas. By insisting on the importance of materiality for understanding agency, movement, and the lived experience of medieval people, the contributors will advance new ideas about power, space, networks, and objects. |
