The book "Rich Textiles of Relationships" offers an in-depth analysis of medieval textiles and their complex materiality. It brings together various contributions that focus on tapestries, vestments, and other textiles from the early Middle Ages to around 1500. The authors Kristin Böse and Silke Tammen examine the tension between imagery and materiality, shedding light on the semantics of textiles and their media exchange relationships. By considering spatial and bodily references, a media and cultural studies perspective on the topic is opened up, encouraging the reader to rethink the significance and influence of textiles in medieval culture.
