Description
This session brings together papers by historians and art historians on artifacts, objects, and spaces through which monks and nuns built up and defined a monastic spiritual environment and praxis. They also explore the phenomenon (and conceptual problem) of "reform" as a defining monastic discourse and experience over the course of the "long eleventh century", from the turn of the millennium into the 1130 and 1140s.
