20.500.12556/RUL-179394 The art of communal drinking Late medieval ceramic drinking vessels from southeastern Central Europe and their role in identity formation Communal eating and drinking are universal human behaviours. They are culturally coded social practices involved in the formation of social identities through strategies of inclusion and exclusion – who is invited to a meal and who is not, who may or may not prepare and consume certain foods and drinks, what behaviours are expected of whom, and what material paraphernalia may be used by whom and in what context. Drinking vessels and their physical properties are often used strategically to either unify or diversify individuals and groups. The material culture of communal drinking is enmeshed in the formation, performance and negotiation of identities through the processes of social competition and cultural distinction. This paper examines the material aspects of late medieval drinking culture, focusing on the decorated ceramic drinking vessels that were used in the southern regions of Central Europe. Several distinct groups of medieval ceramic drinkware are presented, such as earthenware beakers and goblets with relief decoration and the Loštice semi-stoneware goblets. Their regional distribution, the social contexts in which they were used, and their relationship to drinking vessels made of other materials are discussed in terms of the role they played in the formation of late medieval social and cultural identities. archaeology communal drinking ceramic drinking vessels Loštice goblets identity formation Late Middle Ages arheologija družabno pitje keramično pivsko posodje loštiške čaše oblikovanje identitet pozni srednji vek true false true Angleški jezik Nemški jezik Članek v reviji 2026-02-12 13:43:00 2026-02-12 13:43:07 2026-02-13 04:27:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 107-123 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 904"654" 1011-0062 267120899 267117827 PREDOVNIK_2025-The_Art_of_Communal_Drinking-bmoe_41_(003).pdf PREDOVNIK_2025-The_Art_of_Communal_Drinking-bmoe_41_(003).pdf 1 C86019EC9C660F90A1FAC89D399135A9 733301ab9200d5aa79db50ada43cd8184413843836541954aa3cf6146a203a75 893678ce-0811-11f1-a1ba-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=227872 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
