Owning and sharing holy matter: texts, artefacts and places HIS5030
Depending upon the number of students enrolled the spring semester og 2022, the course may run as independent studies with more limited course meetings.
HIS5030 - Owning and sharing holy matter: texts, artefacts and places introduces a major, and yet still understudied, dimension of religious life: its material dimension. In this course we will discuss select case studies of texts, places and artefacts from the whole geographical and chronological range of the program. We will explore a large variety of different materials, such as images, maps, manuscripts, architectural and archeological remains. The course also provides theoretical perspectives on materiality and media, with a particular focus on the three key categories of religious matter discussed in the course, helping us understand the ways in which they are owned, shared and contested, across diverse traditions.The course will also encourage students to reflect on how historians integrate material and textual evidence.
HIS5030 - Owning and sharing holy matter: texts, artefacts and places is an obligatory course in the Master's programme in History of Religions.
