| Σύνοψη: | This article analyses monastic narratives of infirmity through the lens of "crip time", a term that denotes the temporal rhythms associated with and/or made possible by disability. Drawing on twelfth- and thirteenth-century Cistercian miracle stories and vitae, the article delineates the boundaries and intersections among multiple time-scapes in monastic communities. Although Cistercian writers sometimes portrayed crip time negatively - as a disruption to spiritual progression - they also saw potential and redemptive value in crip time-scapes. Moreover, crip time could never be fully confined to the monastic infirmary; as this article demonstrates, the temporal rhythms of illness and disability could unfold virtually anywhere in the monastic community, which was to some degree designed to accommodate a range of physical abilities and attributes. |
