ArgumentThis interdisciplinary conference aims to explore the influence of monasticism in the city from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages as well as in shaping attitudes to the body. What was the social status of the &#8220;monastic family&#8221; in the towns (including the vassals who held the monastic lands on loan)? How did monasteries integrate into the social fabric of cities? What role did they play in care for the sick? What was the relation between consecrated persons and laity? What economic role did monasteries play in towns? How did monastic art, schools and scriptoria contribute to the life of the city? To what extent did monasteries, abbots and abbesses get involved in urban politics? How did urban monasteries shape urban identity?ProgrammeJune 30CESCM, Salle Crozet24, rue de la Cha&#238;ne, Poitiers3:30 pm: registration and welcome4 pm: Lucien-JeanBord O.S.B.
