| Abstract | There is an irrefutable relation between materiality and culture. In the same manner, as norms, values, and beliefs are echoed as objects or created places, are also the responses to these things culturally situated. This session aims to disentangle the distinct connection between the materialised and perceived. The theme is explored from two different roles in medieval society and their relations toward objects and spaces that are typical for their distinction. Clerics and their seals and pilgrims at an object of devotion. |
