Migrating Art Historians and Walking as an Art Historical Method
Original language description
From March until the end of June 2017, eleven students of Art History at the Masaryk University of Brno and their professor Ivan Foletti organized and participated in the project entitled Migrating Art Historians. The aim of this project was to approach medieval churches, monasteries and objects created around pilgrimage roads through the bodily experience and not only through books available in libraries. Walking from one church to another formed a significant part of this experience. During the four months (one entire semester), the group covered the distance of 1540 kilometers – from Lausanne (Switzerland) to Conques (France), to Saint-Benoît sur-Loire (France) and to Mont-Saint-Michel (France). Three walking periods were alternated with three sojourns at the monasteries, where the group at least in part followed the monastic order. This reflection will try to explain the role of walking in the whole experience. Furthermore, it will clarify the way in which the bodily experience transformed our understanding of medieval monuments and formed new questions regarding them.
