Organische Oberflächen in der Vormoderne,” organized by the Division of Older German Literature at Goethe University Frankfurt, Isabella Nicka spoke on “Holzoberflächen im Blick – Intermateriale Aushandlungen im Bild” (1 June 2026) and Heike Schlie on “Körper, Hülle, Martyrium und Strafe – Über die Kleider von Heiligen” (22 June 2026). Schlie also presented her research on intermateriality in the talk “I don’t know if I should say unicorn.
