Location : School of World Art Studies and Museolog
Email : j.deadman@uea.ac.uk |
| Description :The aim of the World Art Symposia is to take a comparative approach to artistic and architectural phenomena recurrent in different societies. Each symposium will concentrate on one such phenomenon to explore differences and similarities, and the various explanatory models which might help account
for them. Our first symposium will focus on sacred places, that is, on how various societies use artefacts and architecture to define what is sacred or holy, to facilitate and control access to it, and to delimit the sacred from
the profane. We would welcome papers from postgraduate students working on relevant material in the fields of art history, anthropology and archaeology.
