CONGRESS CANCELED Late Medieval Ways of Life in Central and Western Europe: Communication, Equalities, and Contrasts

Medieval Institute, Western Michigan University

Description

Contacts between Central and Western Europe in the

late Middle Ages can be traced in a variety of forms and levels:

as trade connections, political, cultural, and religious

communication, mutual influences in material culture and daily

life, but also in respective, more or less targeted opposition

and contrasts. The session is aimed to discuss these phenomena,

in particular with regard to ways of life and material

culture and based on textual, visual and archaeological source

evidence. Such an approach will increase the interdisciplinary

communication of medievalists specialized in different geographic

areas and fields of study. Gerhard Jaritz
