Temporality and Mediality in Late Medieval and Early Modern Culture

Temporality and Mediality in Late Medieval and Early Modern Culture Synopsis

This volume features articles by leading researchers in their respective fields, including studies on mosaics as a medium reflecting space and time; the triptych's potential as a time machine; winged altarpieces mediating eternity; texts and images of the passion of Christ permeating past, present, and future; dimensions of time embedded in maps; a compendium of world knowledge organised by forms of time and temporality; the figuration of prophecy in times of crisis; the portrayal of time in architecture. The volume thus provides a new approach to media and mediality from the perspective of cultural history.
