The Medieval Animal Dat-network will organize as usual several sessions and roundtable during the International Medieval Congress (Leeds, 4-7 July 2016). This year, the Special Thematic Strand is ‘Food, Feast & Famine’.<\/p>\n
Once again the line between animal and human blurs as people in the Middle Ages across Europe used ideas about what is a good animal, what constitutes a bad or transgressing animal, and what for some makes the meat from some animals actually taboo. Meat, fat, and milk and the animals they derive from is appropriated in gestures of self-definition and in the creation of a variety of social identities. Animals whole and animals divided in prescribed ways were used to construct worlds for the living through the death of the animals themselves. The papers presented in the session will explore the many facets of the intimate relationship between the living or dead animals and the people who exploited them. The organizers have found speakers from a variety of historical and archaeological fields to try and explore the animal-human food association from a wide variety of angles<\/p>\n
