| Abstract | This is the first of four sessions which look at medieval religious art and experience between the 10th and the 15th century from the innovative lenses of sensory perception in the context of the ERC project SenSArt (Università degli Studi di Padova). This session focuses on the performative and multisensorial dimension of medieval devotion in public settings in France, Southern Italy and Spain. The speakers will analyze very diverse objects, ranging from sculpted Vierges en Majesté to the combination of sounds (chants), smells (wax, incense) and visual elements in the Exultet liturgy, to the multi material paxes. |
