Medieval Liturgy and the Making of a Political Identity – Poland circa 1000 (with Paweł Figurski)

In this interview, Paweł Figurski, Assistant Professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences and a Humboldt Research Fellow at the University of Regensburg, talks with Karen Culver about his current research into medieval liturgy and the making of Polish political identity around the year 1000. In this newly Christianised region, Paweł shows how the liturgy was used, not only to spread the Christian message, but also to build awareness of the emerging early medieval state through the repetition of rulers’ names and propagation of the new name of a country (Polonia). This ritual was a key part in building a political identity not only among the literate clergy, but also with more straightforward means to the other members of the political elite. In the interview the following recordings have been utilized. We thank the authors for enabling us to share medieval music in the podcast: 1) "Annua recolamus” from the album Sacer Nidus - Św.
