The present issue of the journal Intrecci d’arte is devoted to the theme Art Binds Communities in Medieval Europe, with contributions stemming from research presented in three sessions that were organised during the 2023 International Medieval Congress in Leeds (3-6 July), which focused on the thematic strand Networks and Entanglements. The term “network”, which is ubiquitous in contemporary discourse, typically evokes a sequence of material relationships. In contrast, the term “entanglement” suggests a more intricate form of interdependency among individuals, artefacts, and locations. The objective of these sessions was to situate these concepts within the distinct art-historical context of the European and Mediterranean Middle Ages, covering a chronological span from the 9th to the 15th century.
Il presente numero della rivista Intrecci d’arte è dedicato al tema L’arte lega le comunità nell’Europa medievale, con contributi derivanti dalle ricerche presentate nelle tre sessioni organizzate durante il 2023 International Medieval Congress di Leeds (3-6 luglio), incentrate sul filone tematico Networks and Entanglements. Il termine «network», onnipresente nel discorso contemporaneo, evoca tipicamente una sequenza di relazioni materiali. Al contrario, il termine «entanglement» suggerisce una forma più intricata di interdipendenza tra individui, artefatti e luoghi. L’obiettivo di queste sessioni è stato quello di collocare questi concetti nello specifico contesto storico-artistico del Medioevo europeo e mediterraneo, coprendo un arco cronologico che va dal IX al XV secolo.

Abstract
The present issue of the journal Intrecci d’arte is devoted to the theme Art Binds Communities in Medieval Europe, with contributions stemming from research presented in three sessions that were organised during the 2023 International Medieval Congress in Leeds (3-6 July), which focused on the thematic strand Networks and Entanglements. The term “network”, which is ubiquitous in contemporary discourse, typically evokes a sequence of material relationships. In contrast, the term “entanglement” suggests a more intricate form of interdependency among individuals, artefacts, and locations. The objective of these sessions was to situate these concepts within the distinct art-historical context of the European and Mediterranean Middle Ages, covering a chronological span from the 9th to the 15th century.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
