Description

This session addresses the combined topics of mobility and performance in their multiple forms. How and why did medieval communities employ ideas and/or practices of movement? What were the consequences? As a category of analysis, this approach to mobility incorporates social, geographical, visual, and physical modes of motion that are historically specific in their practice and records.
