Taking a fresh look at the interconnections between medieval
images, texts, theater, and practices of viewing, reading and
listening, this explicitly interdisciplinary volume explores
various manifestations of performance and meanings of
performativity in the Middle Ages. The contributors - from their
various perspectives as scholars of art history, religion, history,
literary studies, theater studies, music and dance - combine their
resources to reassess the complexity of expressions and definitions
of medieval performance in a variety of different media. Among the
topics considered are interconnections between ritual and theater;
dynamics of performative readings of illuminated manuscripts,
buildings and sculptures; linguistic performances of identity;
performative models of medieval spirituality; social and political
spectacles encoded in ceremonies; junctures between spatial
configurations of the medieval stage and mnemonic practices used
for meditation; performances of late medieval music that raise
questions about the issues of historicity, authenticity, and
historical correctness in performance; and tensions inherent in the
very notion of a medieval dance performance.
