The conference seeks to explore and discuss recent development in the dialogue between theology, art history, philosophy and cultural theory concerning the iconography of Mary in Eastern and Western art. We welcome academic papers that will approach this subject in an interdisciplinary and methodologically diverse way. The themes and subjects can include the following:
- early representations of Mary
- images of intercession and authority
- devotional iconography
- Mary Mother of God
- Virgin as queen
- Mary as Ecclesia
- Mary and Eve
- Life of the Virgin
- post-Tridentine iconography
- hermeneutical and phenomenological aspects of Mary
Paper proposals should be submitted electronically to cis@ffri.hr
Deadline: March 30, 2016
Invitations to participate will be sent out by email before April 15, 2016
There is NO registration fee
