Medieval and Early Modern Studies (c. 600-1800)
This research cluster explores processes of cultural creation, reception and transformation within a wide range of societal contexts from the early Middle Ages until c. 1800.
The cluster focuses on diverse cultural expressions within their historical settings (including literature, art, architecture, manuscripts, books, performing arts) with a commitment to answer questions about their content, materiality and (continued) reception, as well as their roles in the transfer of knowledge and ideas.
