Body and Sacred Place in Medieval Europe investigates the medieval
understanding of sacred place, arguing for the centrality of bodies
and bodily metaphors to the establishment, function, use, and power
of medieval churches. Questioning the traditional division of
sacred and profane jurisdictions, this book identifies the need to
consider non-devotional uses of churches in the Middle Ages. Dawn
Marie Hayes examines idealized visions of medieval sacred places in
contrast with the mundane and profane uses of these buildings. She
argues that by the later Middle Ages-as loyalties were torn by
emerging political, economic, and social groups-the Church suffered
a loss of security that was reflected in the uses of sacred spaces,
which became more restricted as identities shifted and Europeans
ordered the ambiguity of the medieval world.
