Community Building through Communication: The Case of the Lüne Letters
My talk explores how the Benedictine nuns of Lüne Abbey in the early 16th century used their correspondence to discuss theology, lobby for their independence, and successfully communicate with those in power, their families and other convents. My examples will be taken from the ongoing edition (http://diglib.hab.de?link=075), introduce the fascinating language mix of the letters, and discuss the strategies used by the nuns to promote their community. For a sneak preview, have a look at the six-part documentary about the project, The Nuns’ Network.
