ID 341 - Fanjeaux: France in the Middle Ages 3 hours
Short-term study abroad in Fanjeaux, France. The story that all of us will participate in begins in thirteenth century France, but like the itinerant that St. Dominic was, we continue to walk in faith, in truth, and in love. To that end, we have a wonderful opportunity to acquaint ourselves with medieval thought, theology, art, and architecture-to catch a glimpse of the imagination that formed and informed Dominic’s response to what was often a hostile and embattled world, rife with heresies, suspicion, and rancor. Dominic’s response was not to perpetuate the binary code of winners and losers, but to offer a paradigmatic shift, a movement away from “either/or” to “both/and.”
Though we will visit many different sites-cathedrals, museums, castles, and caves, we are not tourists. We take on a pilgrim’s heart and steep ourselves in the literature and history of the Middle Ages. But we will, as T.S. Eliot says in Four Quartets, “fare forward.” We shall also read other works from Romanticism and Modernism in order to understand that while things change, they often, at their heart, remain the same. We will primarily be engaged in the imaginative structure of tension, the thread that is pulled through time and space that calls us into disputatio, that is, the capacity to pursue truth and hear from other voices.
