Blood serves an excellent indicator of a nexus of late medieval and
early modern Cultural Change, in which matter and meaning seems to have
segregated progressively. As the harmony of body and spirit succumbed
under the strain of competing world views, blood lost its unity as an
embodied sign, a semiotic substance. The wordplays that impose
themselves with such ease in this area of research attest to the
enduring permeability of the material and the spiritual when it comes to
blood.
This volume brings together papers presented at a workshop entitled
'Blood-Symbol-Liquid', held in Groningen on 23-24 March 2006. The
organizers were keen to put the shifting composition of the material and
symbolic components of blood in a broad chronological and thematic
perspective, forcing the contributors to merge their respective
disciplinary approaches stemming from literary history, art history and
the history of religion, medicine and science.
