Reimagining the Sacred Buildings of Jerusalem (London, 15-16 Mar 13)

Temple and Tomb: Reimagining the Sacred Buildings of Jerusalem

13.00 – 18.10, Friday 15 March (with registration from 12.30)

09.30 – 17.40, Saturday 16 March (with registration from 09.00)

God and humankind had been at one in paradise. The sanctuary of

Jerusalem’s Temple, whose decoration recalled Eden, was in Jewish

thought the navel of the world, the intersection of heaven and earth.

The Temple was destroyed in 70 CE. The Christian Melito was already

writing of Golgotha as the world’s centre by 160 CE. Many more of the

Temple’s mythologies – and supposedly of its Solomonic and later

artefacts – would be transferred to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre

built by Constantine and completed in the construction of its Rotunda.

Justinian and his panegyrists spoke in their turn of Hagia Sophia as

the new Temple.

The Dome of the Rock was probably designed to counter and surpass the

Holy Sepulchre of the ‘Christian polytheists’. The Crusaders spoke of

Al-Aqsa Mosque as the Temple or Palace of Solomon, and the Dome of the

Rock as the Temple of the Lord in which the infant Jesus had been

presented to God.

The sanctity and significance of Jerusalem were recreated throughout

Christendom in centrally planned churches and architectural motifs, in

liturgical forms and in civic myths. In this Forum we study the

expressions of the Temple and the Sepulchre in Christian architecture,

and medieval devotion – both Christian and Muslim – to the holy places.

The Courtauld Institute of Art and the Temple Church are coming

together for their second joint-conference in March 2013. We will again

spend time in the Temple’s Round Church, itself one of the grandest

recreations of Jerusalem to survive in the West.

concessions)

Call for Papers

Theme: Emmanuel Levinas and Interreligious Dialogue

Type: 8th Annual Conference and Meeting

Institution: North American Levinas Society

Duquesne University

Location: Pittsburgh, PA (

USA

)

Date: 28.–31.7.2013

Deadline: 31.3.2013

The North American Levinas Society is excited to announce that our

eighth annual meeting and conference will take place July 28-July 31,

2013 at Duquesne University on the theme, “Emmanuel Levinas and

Interreligious Dialogue.”

As “culture wars” and regional conflicts around the world continue to

enlist various religious traditions and worldviews, it seems timely

to open robust, deliberative meditations on how Emmanuel Levinas’

“ethics as first philosophy” might help shape edifying interreligious

dialogue for building peace and justice. For our 2013 conference, we

invite you to bring your questions and concerns on these matters to

Duquesne University, an historically important institution for

Levinas studies in North America, in order to open a number of

discussions concerning, but not limited to, issues such as:

- Developing concepts and practices for interreligious and interfaith

dialogue

- The influence of religion in war zones, from stoking conflict to

building peace

- The interreligious dimensions of post-conflict resolution and

reparation

- The role of religion in educating for social activism and

responsibility

- The voices of women in building interreligious dialogue

- The postsecular intersections of religion and critical theory

- The environmental aspects of interreligious dialogue

- The affect of interreligious dialogue on indigenous rights and

postcolonial struggles

- The possibilities of postsecular and interreligious responses to

poverty and economic inequality

- The existential dimensions of interreligious dialogue and

reparative justice

We hope that scholars use this conference to take part in the ongoing

conversation about the ramifications of Levinas’ thought for various

faith and non-faith traditions. Although preference will be given to

papers that address the conference theme, it is Society custom to

consider papers and panels on any topic related to the work of

Emmanuel Levinas.

Our eight annual conference program will continue to include

important Society traditions such as our annual Talmudic Reading from

Georges Hansel, a pedagogy session, Society banquet, a film

screening, and provocative plenary presentations from James Marsh,

Leah Kalmanson, and others.

Scenes from the History of the Image (Research Triangle

Park, 28 Jul-9 Aug 13)

National Humanities Center, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina,

July 28 - August 9, 2013

Deadline: Feb 22, 2013

Summer Seminar

Scenes from the History of the Image: Reading Two Millennia of Conflict

Seminar Leaders:

Thomas Pfau, Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of English & Professor of

Germanic Languages and Literatures, Duke University.

David Womersley, Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature, St.

Catherine's College, Oxford.

The purpose of this seminar is to explore primary and critical writings

related to the history of the image. It should be said at the outset

that this discussion is not an attempt to run a seminar in art history.

Rather, the objective is to trace how, in the course of Western

history, images have functioned (and how their role has been

conceptualized), first in religious practice and philosophical

theology, and more recently in literature, philosophy, aesthetic

theory, and phenomenology.

At this time in history, Western culture is arguably awash in images to

a degree never before experienced. Digital culture has made every image

and visual artifact virtually accessible to a vast number of

individuals in the developed and developing worlds. Elaborate databases

such as ArtStor and Oxford Art Online, as well as general-purpose

search engines (Google Images) facilitate the retrieval of visual

materials with very little censorship or accountability interposing

itself on the part of the provider or end-user, respectively. At the

same time, the capacity of images (cartoons, photographs, paintings) to

unleash public controversy by tapping into otherwise submerged

religious, political, or cultural energies and antagonisms seems

undiminished. More than most textual forms—whose impact is typically

attenuated by the hermeneutic demands that their linear and

propositional presentation makes on readers—images seem uniquely

capable of bypassing or suspending a more guarded and reflexive

interpretive appraisal.

The traumatic force with which the images of the falling Twin Towers on

September 11, 2001 impacted and shaped the political imaginary of an

entire generation of people in the

United States

and the Western world,

or similarly iconic moments such as Robert Capra's famous photo of a

soldier's death during the Spanish Civil War, Nick Ut's photo of a

young Vietnamese child burned by napalm, Charlie Cole's 1989 snapshot

of a young man in a white shirt blocking the advance of tanks in

Tiananmen Square, Kurt Westergaard's 2005 cartoons of the Prophet

Mohammed—all attest to the image's undiminished capacity for

concentrating and unleashing vast reservoirs of moral and political

energy. It thus does not surprise us to find political and religious

establishments from around the world that are far more preoccupied with

controlling (or even expunging) images than with articulating a

coherent message or rationally engaging their perceived opponents.

Among the more egregious instances of such practice might be the Afghan

Taliban's March 2001 decision to detonate the early sixth-century

Buddhas of Bamiyan, or the G. W. Bush administration's ban on releasing

photos of the coffins of dead soldiers flown back from

Iraq

So as to understand the deeper histories that resonate in such

controversies, and indeed set the formal and moral parameters for them,

this seminar will seek to undertake an archeology of the image in its

various dimensions: viz., as material object, as a medium (often in

close competition with text), as formal-aesthetic artifact, and as the

correlate of a distinctive kind of human intentionality. To that end,

the 2013 SIAS seminar will successively explore five historical and/or

formal ways of considering the image—each time through a mix of primary

and secondary literature.

Application Deadline: February 22, 2013

Call For Paper

Philosophy and Public Issues

A Journal of Moral, Political, Legal and Social Philosophy

Symposium: The Church and The State.

With a discussion of Robert Audi’s Democratic Authority and the Separation of Church and State (OUP 2011)

Guest Editor: Domenico Melidoro

Submission Deadline

- Long Abstract (1,000 words max): May 15, 2013

- Full paper (10,000 words max, upon acceptance): September 1, 2013

Invited Contributors

Mario De Caro (Rome Tre University), Jocelyn Maclure (Université Laval),

Michael Perry (Emory University), Paul Weithman (University of Notre Dame)

and Robert Audi (University of Notre Dame).

Aims and Background

The relation between politics and religions should not necessarily be seen

as a problem or reason of conflicts, but it could be understood within the

broader issue of what attitude liberal-democratic states should show

towards religious and cultural diversity. This problem is particularly

important in contemporary societies characterized by a plurality of moral,

political, and religious views. Separating ‘the church’ from ‘the state’

does not rule out the accommodation of some religious claims. However, the

limits of and the justification for such an accommodation are extremely

divisive matters, especially when religious minorities seem to be a threat

for the liberal-democratic institutions.

In this special volume of Philosophy and Public Issues we are looking for

papers that explore the relationship between religion and politics from

moral, political, or legal perspective.

We expect original contributions discussing problems such as:

- the separation of church and state;

- the issue of the accommodations religious claims in pluralist societies;

- liberal theories of toleration;

- the question of liberal neutrality and the place of religions in public

places

- political secularism: principles and applications

… or any other relevant topic subject to the Editors’ approval.

The special issue will include a discussion on Robert Audi’s Democratic

Authority and the Separation of Church and State (OUP 2011), with

commentaries by Mario De Caro, Jocelyn Maclure, Domenico Melidoro, Michael

Perry, Paul Weithman, followed by Robert Audi’s replies.

Submission Details

Please send a (.rtf, .doc or .docx) file containing a long abstract (1,000

words max) and a title, prepared for blind review with all revealing

references to the author removed. All personal information (name,

affiliation, and contact) must be submitted separately, along with a short

abstract (200 words max). Deadline for abstract submission is May 15,

2013. Decisions will be made within a month.

Upon notification of acceptance, you will be invited to submit the full

paper (10,000 words max) no later than September 1, 2013. The volume will

be published in December 2013.

Contributions that do not make it to the volume may be considered for

subsequent publication in one of the regular volumes of Philosophy and

Public Issues.

All material should be submitted to submissionppi@luiss.it.

Further Inquiries

Please direct any queries about this call for papers to PPI’s Editors at

(editorppi@luiss.it). More information on Philosophy and Public Issues can

be found at http://ppi.luiss.edu.

New materials on Ukrainian folklore in

Kazakhstan

available online

Dear Fellow list members,

I want to draw your attention to some new materials. We have indexed and posted the materials that I collected in

Kazakhstan

. Ukrainians arrived to the area northeast of Pavlodar at the turn of the 20th century. They came in response to the Stolypin reforms and were pioneers who established villages. Later waves of immigration came with the Khrushchev Virgin Lands policy and in the 1970s. All in all an interesting group who have developed their own language (khokhliatskii) and their own version of rituals.

Find an indexed and searchable version of the sound files at

<http://ra.tapor.ualberta.ca/KazakhstanAudio/>

Selected photographs are at

<http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/uvp/pages/media/kazakhstan/index.htm?menu=8-2:0>

Please note that the pull-down menu on top of the box to the right goes by village – so photos from individual villages are here.

We have also posted some songs on

<http://research.artsrn.ualberta.ca/ukrfolklore/categoryclips.html?category_id=4&filter=all>

This is a site where volunteers can transcribe and translate recordings. Would love to have you try working with these. The songs are in Ukrainian, even though the people themselves speak a Ukrainian/Russian mix they call khokhliatskii. Would welcome your feedback about these songs. Are they familiar? Are they similar to or different from the songs you know?

“Bear and Russia”

Special issue of journal “Labyrinth”

The Center for Ethnic and Nationalism Studies at Ivanovo State University as well as the electronic journal “Labyrinth: A Journal of Social and Humanitarian Studies” invite scholars to contribute to the collection “Bear and Russia”.

The bear symbol, one of the most ancient and mysterious in the world history, has been associated with Russia for several centuries. As an allegory of the country, it has a significant impact on attitudes of foreigners towards Russia and Russians. The image of bear widely circulates also in Russian culture, especially in the post-Soviet period, when it pretends to being an unofficial symbol of the nation.

How deeply is the bear as a metaphor of Russia rooted in the world history? What meanings does the “Russian Bear” receive in Russian and foreign cultures? How does the bear symbol influence the international security? How is the “Russian Bear” utilized in the symbolic politics of contemporary Russia? Is the “Russian Bear” a part of the “myth-symbol complex” of the Russian culture or is it a case of the “invention of traditions”?

In searching answers to these questions the participants of the project “ ’The Russian Bear’: History, Semiotics, and Politics” have organized a few workshops and published a number of studies, including ‘Russkii Medved’: Istoriia, Semiotika, Politika / Oleg Riabov, Andrzej de Lazari (Eds.). Moscow: Novoe Literaturnoe Obozrenie, 2012. In 2013 the Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding publishes a monograph by Andrzej de Lazari, Oleg Riabov and Magdalena Żakowska Europa i Niedźwiedź (Wizerunek Rosji-niedźwiedzia w kulturach europejskich).

We invite scholars to submit the articles till May 31, 2013 on the themes as follows:

The image of bear in the world cultures;

The image of bear in regional identity;

“Russian Bear” in the rhetoric on domestic policy;

“Russian Bear” in the discourse on international relations;

“Russian Bear” in the war propaganda;

“Russian Bear” in commercial advertising;

“Russian Bear” in literature and arts;

“Russian Bear” in mass culture.

The articles will be published in a special issue of the journal “Labyrinth”. The length of the article should comprise from 20 000 to 30 000 characters. Languages of the volume are Russian or English. Guide instruction for the authors is on the web-site of the “Labyrinth”.
