Art and Articulation: Illuminating the Mystical, Medieval and Modern – Call For Papers

Art and Articulation: Illuminating the Mystical, Medieval and Modern
Mystical Theology Network Conference
St Hilda’s College, Oxford
8-9 January, 2016

The relationship between word and image, and the ways in which medieval art (be it visual, textual, or both) operates as a means of expressing the inexpressible, will be explored in a two-day conference held 8th-9th January 2016 at St Hilda¹s College, Oxford. This interdisciplinary conference will bring together theologians, art historians, and literary scholars to examine the ways in which various forms of artistic expression are used to articulate the mystical or that which cannot easily be spoken.

We welcome submissions for 20-minute papers and proposals for sessions of three 20-minute papers.

Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words to the conference organizers at artandarticulation@gmail.com by 1 September, 2015.
