Det välvda planet: Etnografisk teckning som insamlingsmetod för medeltida valvmålningar

- Abstract
- Using a theoretical framework based upon the queer phenomenology of Sarah Ahmed as well as Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception, this study explores the process of translating medieval church murals to drawings. The study is based on my own drawings of two late-medieval church murals in Skåne, as well as 19th century ethnographer Nils Månsson Mandelgren’s drawings. In making drawings of murals, new, previously undescribed, details were made available for interpretation. These details provided important information to the context of the paintings, as they show a certain amount of artistic freedom.

These details provided important information to the context of the paintings, as they show a certain amount of artistic freedom. By drawing, I was also able to describe the disorientation that occurs when an artist tries to translate the arched surfaces of the murals to the flat surface of the paper, as well as the orientation that is made up by the lines drawn on the paper. By Comparing my drawings to Mandelgren’s, I was able to deduce where and how he had made his drawings of Everlöv’s church. This leads me to argue that ethnographical drawing should be judged not only on its “correctness”, but also in terms of process and movement. (Less)
