Description
This session highlights emerging perspectives on what it meant to be connected in the Middle Ages, and how those connections shaped spatial and social identities. What moved in the medieval world (ideas, objects, people, stories, technology)? How did different rhythms of motion and patterns of circulation intersect with one another? How can medieval connections be visualized and represented, and what new impressions of the medieval world might we form by focusing on movement and interaction rather than stasis? The papers engage the methodological question of how to bring new digital approaches, such as social network analysis and digital mapping, to bear on this research.
