Bartošková, Michaela ; Sarkissian, Alena (advisor) ; Weissar, Tomáš (referee)
The master's thesis deals with the performative aspects of the late medieval manuscript Passional of Abbess Kunigunde, which was used in the Monastery of St. George as a devotional object. The aim of the work is to show the interaction with the manuscript as a bodily act, through which, analogously to a theatrical performance, meanings are performed through the body, which led its users to assert themselves in their social roles and to the cohesion of the monastic community.
