| Abstract | Medieval studies have always devoted considerable attention to the Crusades and have been able to highlight their importance as catalysts of crucial social-cultural transformations. However, the manifold acoustic dimensions have hardly been considered so far. Thus, our sessions (The Sound of the Crusades I and II) bring together researchers who engage in studying the acoustemology of Crusades from different disciplinary and methodological perspectives. The topics will include the sounds of battle, the historiographical representations and the connection between sound and body (Session I) and artistic representations in songs and artefacts, as well as the significance of acoustics in modern day medievalisms (Session II). Both sessions will discuss the concept of othering through sound and the implications of sound studies for a better understanding of the crusades. |
