Megtekintés:

As art and religiosity interlace culture and society, religious art has traditionally been a hub of social reflections. As a field of creativity, intuitive expression, professionalism, communication, and even social agency, religious art can appear in any form of performative activity and can be studied “through the prism of the genre,” as Leonard Primiano once wrote, the genre architecture, dress, photographs, artifacts, narratives, bodily communication, dance, music or song.

Artistic creativity and expressions of vernacular religiosity incorporate a reflection on power, be it affirmative and legitimizing or critical and resistant. Besides examining the power of institutions and their role in bestowing, legitimizing, and subverting social and spiritual power, the 2024 conference also encourages attendees to look at how power, authority, and agency play out at the vernacular level.

As religion and power have a complex relationship and interaction, religious art – whether on the level of the individual, the religious community, or society at large – also targets several contemporary issues of “mundane” power (climate change, crises, war, migration, social discrimination, and others). However, art is not only a tool for expressing a critical position and commentary on social, cultural, and political power, but it can also appear as an agent to shape and affirm it.

At our conference, presenters will have 20 minutes to hold their lecture, followed by a 10-minute debate. If one exceeds the given time limit, the excess time will be deducted from the debate time, ensuring all presenters have an equal opportunity to share their work. Five minutes before the end of the presentation, the panel organizer will remind the presenter about the remaining time, respecting your contribution and the audience's time.
