Voir notamment : « Saintly Voices, Worldly Noise: Sounding Nature and the Supernatural in Medieval Hagiography » (Session ID 4999)

« This session explores the intersection of natural and supernatural sounds associated with saints and their environments, as depicted in a variety of media. From the sweetness of angelic singing to the terror of thunderous noise to the mystery of unintelligible speech, sanctity was signaled through a broad spectrum of sounds that merit interpretation. What motivated such variety of saintly sounds? How did they interact with the sonic environment of the natural world? How were they perceived and how can they be understood? Hagiographic analysis might engage with any number of other methodologies drawing from, but not limited to, mythology, biblical exegesis, environmental studies, and sensory perception. »
