Visualizing the Other in Late Medieval and Early Modern Art (1300–1550)

Original language description

The aim of the meeting is to stimulate an academic dialogue on the perception and expression of otherness / other in the late Middle Ages and Early Modern Europe, considering its social, religious and ethnic diversity, interactions, coexistence, but also delimitation as means of self-definition and -protection. Nevertheless, the late medieval visualization of the other works with usual stereotypes and cultural images when “the other” is understood as potentially dangerous, transgressing norms and order, and thus negative. Yet, the dialogue between them, and us between inclusion and exclusion reveals important relations in the structure of late medieval society. The perception of the other in medieval art, mentality and culture needs to be discussed and treated as a dynamic intellectual and socio-cultural process (“the process of othering”) in a multi-disciplinary format ranging from texts and image-text schemes to images and fine arts.
