| Abstract | This session deals with the materiality of arboreal frameworks (tree diagrams, tree structures, branching) in the Middle Ages. Indeed, arboreal frameworks materialize thought, science and devotion through visual and organisationnal structures. Some members of the Trames arborescentes (Arboreal frameworks) project would like to present some recent researches about such a materializing process. Trames arborescentes is an international research project, that aims at reuniting researchers who work on tree structures and arborescences, even if trees are not their speciality. Materiality is one of its main issues, since, in the Middle Ages, every kind of information can be transposed into a tree structure. |
