Anne Müller, Karen Stöber (Eds.) Self-Representation of Medieval Religious Communities The British Isles in Context Reihe: Vita regularis - Ordnungen und Deutungen religiosen Lebens im Mittelalter. Abhandlungen Bd. 40, 2009, 432 S., 39.90 EUR, br., ISBN 978-3-8258-1758-9 This book explores the medieval monastery as symbolic space ( locus symbolicus) and looks at forms of self-representation in medieval monastic life. Papers focus on both the transitory nature of organised religious life, which is based on symbols, and the separate identities religious communities developed by using their own specific forms of ritual and symbolisation. Case studies treat the British Isles and the broader European context. Among the key issues explored here are rituals in internal organisation, the symbolic use of space, architecture and art, symbolism in social interactions, and symbolic constructions of the past. |
