Date: 19 March 2018 (Monday)<\/strong> The twelfth century in Western Europe marks a period of significant social change and widespread urbanization. Through its exceptional visual record, the northern Spanish city of Carri\u00f3n de los Condes illustrates a developing city\u2019s navigation of diverse urban interests. This paper examines two Carrionese parish churches constructed across the course of the twelfth century, which actively participate in the contemporary social and spiritual upheaval and offer insight into a largely undocumented lay public. The earlier of the two churches aims to engage, entertain, and placate a dual audience of pilgrims and parishioners, while the latter seeks to involve an increasingly influential urban viewership in spiritual life by directly implicating citizens in a monumental soteriological plan. Likewise, the first half of the century sees Carri\u00f3n in transition, with violent burgher revolts demonstrating citizens’ newfound agency as pilgrimage traffic from the Camino de Santiago<\/em> bolsters the economy, and the second half witnesses Carri\u00f3n’s apogee as prosperous urban center.<\/p>\n Speaker: Elizabeth Lastra<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Lastra obtained her PhD in 2017 from the University of Pennsylvania, with a dissertation entitled Biography of a City: Art, Urbanization, and Shifting Structures of Power in Carri\u00f3n de los Condes, 1050-1200<\/em>.
