Veneration in Motion in Late Antique and Early Medieval Iberia, July 11-12, 2023
This year we continued our co-operation with Kathi Ihna’s Project Making a Martyr in Medieval Iberia (589-1080) (Universiteit Radboud) and the RomanIslam Center (Universität Hamburg)
As an important form of religious and cultural capital in late antiquity and the early middle ages, the cults of sacred figures moved: between institutions, between cities, between regions and between religious traditions. By what vectors did veneration travel? What were the impulses and interests behind importing and exporting sacred figures? By tackling these dynamics of cultural and religious transfer through an interdisciplinary examination of liturgy, music, literature and material culture, we hope to get at the heart of what sacred figures meant to Iberian communities—both Christian and Muslim—and the religious and cultural networks their movement reflects. Amongst the speakers Kati Ihnat ( Radboud University), Antonia Bosanquet (Universität Hamburg / RomanIslam Center), Stefan Heidemann (Universität Hamburg / RomanIslam Center), Abigail Balbale (New York University/ RomanIslam Center), Camille Adang (Tel Aviv University), Javier Albarran (Autonomous University of Madrid), Amira K. Bennison (University of Cambridge) ...
