Third international ?Muhu Workshop?

?

Flight and Emigration in Medieval Space and Mind

?

Gryka e Valbones? (Albania), August 20-23, 2011

? The workshop will concentrate on the different aspects of Flight and Emigration in Medieval Space and Mind. We will discuss

1???????the various motives and contexts, in which forced or voluntary flight and emigration took place, were discussed or otherwise represented in the sources;

2???????the question, if and to what extent one followed similar patterns of ideas, discourses? and realization..

One fled and emigrated from a wide range of circumstances:

1???????from ?the world,?

2???????lands and territories,

3???????different communities (urban and rural space, monasteries, homes),

4???????religious, professional, economic, social and gendered affiliations,

5???????one?s spouses, and so on.

Historical and literary sources, as well as images and archaeological evidence offer manifold information about these varieties of flight and emigration, and will allow transdisciplinary and comparative approaches.
