The workshop takes a comparative perspective on social practices and symbolical representations of building, framing and enacting community in medieval urban-rural relations (roughly 1000 – 1600). Choosing an interdisciplinary approach, the presentations focus on a broad spectrum of everyday interaction as social practice within and in-between communities, discursive and symbolical framing of communities, as well as expressions of community in performance and material culture in different regional and cultural contexts. Selected case studies from a broad geographical background are examined comparatively, extending from Central and Southern Europe through the Eastern Mediterranean and the Arabic peninsula to East Asia (Tibet). They approach the way communities dealt with their natural, structural and social environment in practical terms, in particular how communities interacted in different regional and cultural contexts to achieve a more organized and effective functioning of communal life (eg. administration, economy, agriculture, infrastructure, endowments). Next to these practical aspects, spatial delineation, topographical location and natural environment will be discussed as structural elements in the context of facilitating social interaction as centerpiece of building, framing and enacting community.

 

Everyone is invited to attend the workshop!
