Abstract

V originále

In the following pages, I will re- flect on how our perception of time, and particularly of the present, was changed by our bodies as we walked over 1500 km. This observation raised questions about the bodily perception of material culture, of geographical and mental spaces, and about the awareness of time. We sought answers to these questions after the fact, in medieval sources and in the monuments themselves. In this paper, I will exam- ine medieval documents for evidence of human reactions to time, space, and mate- rial culture, taking the pilgrim’s bodily experience in consideration.
