Negotiating Secular and Sacred in Medieval Art

Christian, Islamic, and Buddhist

Herausgeber: Walker, Alicia; Luyster, Amanda

Beschreibung

Essays in this collection analyse the convergence between "sacred" and "secular" in medieval works of art and architecture, questioning the adequacy of those categories to describe medieval attitudes. "Sacred" and "secular" are shown to reflect largely modern cultural frameworks, which can be useful as scholarly tools, but which risk imposing false dichotomies. This volume complicates and enriches our understanding of social realities across a broad spectrum of medieval worlds.
