Description
The most recent wave of scholarship on Marguerite Porete's life and book is enriched by its ability to reach beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. In order to make room for emerging work that is explicitly multidisciplinary, we would like to invite papers that combine expertise from complementary fields. The session will explore particularly the relations between visual image and written text, and cultural reappropriation of images in multiple forms and genres.
