Voices and Visions: Mind, Body and Affect in Medieval Writing
This exploration takes its starting point from the Wellcome Trust-funded interdisciplinary project ‘Hearing the Voice’ (based at Durham University), which brings
together researchers in psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and a range of humanities
disciplines, healthcare professionals, and voice-hearers, to explore the phenomenon of
hearing voices without external stimuli.2
The typical medical term for the phenomenon,
‘auditory verbal hallucinations’, makes usually tacit assumptions concerning the nature
of the experience explicit.
