[shc:Seminario de historia cultural: Paul Nelles (Carleton University), “Thinking with material religion in the Early modern world: Translocations and peregrinations”.

El próximo jueves 30 de abril a las 12:00 en la Sala de Juntas del Departamento de Historia Moderna, módulo VI, 201.

Resumen:
The seminar explores the intersection of materiality, mobility, and religion in the early modern world through a discussion of two artefacts: a polychrome wood sculpture depicting the entombment of Christ (Juan de Juni, Santo Entierro, 1544), and an Agnus Dei reliquary enclosing a relic of one of the
1597 Nagasaki martyrs. My paper suggests that the artefacts speak to shared paradigms concerning the geographic displacement of the physical materials of religion. More specifically, the seminar will attempt to trace the ways the artefacts index the movement of non-iconic religious materials, offering a point of entry into the sensorial field of experiential religion in the early modern world.

¡Os esperamos!
