| Abstract | In recent years, the materiality of physical writing surfaces has increasingly raised the awareness of many medievalist disciplines. When it comes to literary representations of such 'inscripted objects', one might ask for their specific function within the wider semiotic system of the text: How do inscriptions complement, interfere, or even compete with the symbolic connotations of the artefact they are written on and how do they both affect the fictional world around them? The session will explore these questions with regard to samples from MHG 'Sangspruchdichtung', courtly epics and late medieval chapbook narratives. |
