Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar aims to provide an overview of Late Antique monastecism in the Mediterranean with specific attention to the topographical placement of Monasteries, and their architectural features, structural diversity, and decorative elements. The discussion will encompass aspects of gender, diversity, social and speritual life according to the written sources together with aspects of material culture according to Archaeology. In addition the impact of ecclesiastic, imperial, private evergetism, and pilgrimage on the development of the built environment will also be discussed. Students will be invited to reflect on the wider impact of monasteries on the landscape and their role in the wider frame of regional and intraregional economy.
Assessment and permitted materials
Presentation (30 -45 min.) with handout and written work (approx. 20 pages, without illustrations and bibliography) on the topic of the presentation, including the discussion and points of criticism after the presentation. The list of topics for the presentations will be presented in the first session.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
