- 요약Much of today's pop culture landscape is shaped by the long-lasting imagery of the Middle Ages. The very popularity of shows like Game of Thrones and the Table Top Roleplay Game Dungeons & Dragons demonstrate that imagery associated with the Middle Ages is near omnipresent even today. The reason for this is largely due to the skillful use of memetic imagery that religious writers employed in the Middle Ages. This project focuses on how memetic imagery was used to build and maintain Christian ideologies important for cultural and social hierarchy. Although it is not new to identify the presence and use of memetic imagery in medieval religious texts, this project defines the specific avenues and human experiences which make this such an effective tool. In order to truly maintain ideological norms through religious writing, memetic imagery touches upon three base human experiences: emotional community norms, senses of space and place, and senses associated with the body.Although the memetic images in religious writing are used intentionally as a shorthand by the writer to reinforce narratives already known by the audience, or to inspire the audience to read further, I argue that the reason for the effectiveness of this tool must be attributed to the three avenues outlined above which are used subconsciously to great success. It is the very fact that these are subconsciously used that prove their necessity. In Judgment Day II, The Writings of Julian of Norwich, and The Desert of Religion, it can be seen how the authors of each text unintentionally access each of these three areas through the process of using shorthand memetic ideas. It is the power of these images and the inherent connection created by the emotionality, sense of place, and bodily senses that the ideas of the Middle Ages were so successful in establishing ideological norms.
