Medieval Sculptures of the Virgin in Performative Contexts: Gold, Silver, Lead and Other Metals (Heisenberg-Project). Project-specific Workshops

作为海森堡项目"中世纪圣母雕塑在表演环境中：金、银、铅和其他金属"的一部分，两个项目的具体工作站将得到资助。该项目分析了中世纪圣母雕塑与金属表面。这些物品可以追溯到10至13世纪。它们由金、银、铅和其他金属制成，通常是混合介质组合。关键作品是埃森的金色圣母像（约100米）。980），沃尔科特的银圣母像（世纪早期）或维奥蒂·德·巴罗伊勒（巴黎，卢浮宫博物馆）。研究设计是基于对象的历史和物质的历史，如金，银和铅在中世纪，这是设置在有关表演的做法和空间：在该项目中分析的表演背景包括中世纪多感官教堂空间以及后中世纪作为祭坛一部分的单一物体的舞台，在博物馆，两个跨学科研讨会将是该项目的一部分："古代晚期和中世纪女性神圣的视觉和物质文化"和"中世纪圣母雕塑：表演空间和实践"。这两个讲习班都是项目成功的关键，因为它们提供了在跨学科和国际中世纪环境中批判性地反思成果和进展的机会。恢复科学、文化人类学和宗教科学之间应探索在“物质宗教”领域的新合作形式。

As part of the Heisenberg-project „Medieval Sculptures of the Virgin in Performative Contexts: Gold, Silver, Lead and Other Metals” two project-specific workhops shall be funded.The project analyses medieval sculptures of the virgin with metallic surfaces. The objects date from the 10th to the 13th century. They are made from gold, silver, lead and other metals, often in mixed-media combinations. Key pieces are the Golden Madonna in Essen (ca. 980), the silver Madonna in Walcourt (early 11th century) or the Vierge de Baroilles (Paris, Musée du Louvre).The research design is based on object histories and the histories of substances like gold, silver and lead in the Middle Ages, which are set in relation to performative practices and spaces: among the performative contexts analyzed during the project are the medieval multisensorial church space as well as post-medieval stagings of single objects as part of altars, in museums, in temporary exhibitions or in living-religion-practices.Two interdisciplinary workshops will be part of the project: “Visual and material cultures of female sanctity in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages” and “Medieval sculptures of the Virgin: Performative spaces and practices”. For these project-specific workshops funding shall be applied.Both workshops are central to the project’s success, as they offer opportunities to reflect critically on results and progresses in an interdisciplinary and international medievalist environment. New forms of cooperations in the field of „material religion” shall be explored between Restoration Sciences, Cultural Anthropology and Religious Sciences.
