From Words to Space
Popis: This chapter explores the the origins and developments of a length-procession that constituted a highpoint of the year for the monks of Montecassino in the eighth and ninth century, and remained prominent in the community's memory for centuries later: the Easter Tuesday Procession. It asks what the procession did in and with the space in which it was performed in four steps: texts, sites, zones, and the path. A new way of a approaching the procession as a cultural technique of spatialization is proposed.
