| Abstract | Slowly but surely, the last centuries of Medieval Europe on the verge to turn to Modernity, bang to build up a lot of dilemmas and moral interrogations: numbers of heresies and peculiar religious questions indicate how intricate cultural identities were during the Middle Ages. One of the many ways to document and explore those discrepancies and the modalities of maybe mending them, is the study of visual images, mental ones and picturing.The session presents the papers dealing with multiple societal / moral /religious / economic crisis in late medieval Europe resulting in the new approaches in visual media – such as new or idiosyncratic iconography (crisis of images), emotional aspects of visual objects, naturalism etc. It aims to address not only the ways the visual media reflected, responded to and represented the period crisis, but also the rituals and rites that helped to pacify it and battle the period anxiety. Presented papers use the variety of methodologies addressing the period relation between the society and images via the optics of media studies, visual anthropology, semiology or the theories of reception, addressing the particular aspects of the late medieval visuality. |
