# Medieval Reception

**Medieval Reception** (**Mittelalterrezeption**) is the study of how the Middle Ages are interpreted, reused, and reimagined in later historical periods. 

At the CDFI, this is a recurring theme in guest lectures and symposia, notably involving collaborations with scholars like [[isabelle-dolezalek]] from TU Berlin. It examines the dialogue between medieval artistic forms and their subsequent reception in early modern or contemporary contexts.
