Forms of Faith: the influence of religious change on artistic, literary, and musical culture in sixteenth-century Italy
University of Leeds, 30-31 March 2007
This symposium will bring together a small number of specialists in the fields of Renaissance literature, music, history and history of art to address the question of the relationship between religious change and artistic form in sixteenth-century Italy. The symposium will address:
- the ways in which religious developments are reflected in changing modes of literary expression, techniques in the visual arts, and techniques in musical composition;
- the role of artistic, musical and literary form in shaping sixteenth-century religious sensibilities.
All speakers will address current work in progress in extended papers of around an hour's duration.
Speakers will include:
* Stephen Bowd (School of History and Classics, University of Edinburgh)
* Chrysa Damianaki (Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione dell'Università di Lecce, Italy).
* Iain Fenlon (Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge)
* Alexander Nagel (Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, Washington D.C.)
* Tom Nichols (Department of History of Art, University of Aberdeen)
* Noel O'Regan (Department of Music, University of Edinburgh)
* Letizia Panizza (Department of Italian, Royal Holloway)
* Raymond B. Waddington (Department of English, University of California at Davis)
The conference is organised by Abigail Brundin (Department of Italian, University of Cambridge) and Matthew Treherne (Department of Italian, University of Leeds), and is supported by the Leeds Humanities Research Institute, the MHRA, and the Department of Italian, University of Leeds.
