Artifact Description

Recent scholarship has made positive use of the study of the senses, in so far as the senses enable modern audiences to have deeper and more significant encounters with past cultures, histories, and literatures. Yet, for all the positive sensations we recognize, medieval senses are just as often engaged violently in and by art and literature to inculcate difference, justify brutality, and/or cultivate sympathy. This session features papers that explore violent appeals to the senses, the sensational strategies of medieval authors and artists, and the ends these appeals serve.Arthur J. Russell and Molly Lewis
