medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The Cross and Culture in Anglo-Saxon England
Durham, England
August 3-4, 2001
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~kjolly/cross/crdurham.html
The Cross in Anglo-Saxon England project invites scholars, students,
and teachers to participate in a two-day seminar in Durham, England on
Cross and Culture in Anglo-Saxon England. This interdisciplinary
seminar, part of a three-year project, is dedicated to Stanford
Professor George Hardin Brown in recognition of his outstanding lifetime
contributions to the study of Anglo-Saxon culture.
The nine invited speakers represent different disciplinary
perspectives on the cross as a material artifact, as a ritual gesture in
performance, and as a concept invoked in theological, poetic, and
artistic contexts. In addition to three sessions with scholarly papers,
the first day concludes with a session inviting dialogue on questions
and themes drawn from the day's papers and posted in advance. These
activities on the first day are complemented on the second day with an
excursion to the Bewcastle and Ruthwell monuments, with interpretive
discussions let by participating scholars.
The deadline for regular registration ($65) is fast approaching
(mail by June 30). After July 10, it goes up to $75. For more
