Call for contributions to an individual panel: The Body of Christ in Art
This panel will address the presence and absence of the Body of Christ in Art and its relationship to materials and the context of devotion. Papers that engage with materiality and the use of multiple media are of particular interest. For example, the use of glass, cork, gold, and gems to promote devotion and meditative practices. In addition to the visual, consider issues of movement, touch, sound, and aroma that enhanced the experience of Christ’s Body (the Consecrated Host and/or representations of Christ) for the faithful. Please send a 100-word bio and 250-word abstract to Ilenia Colon Mendoza ([email protected]) and Heather McCune Bruhn ([email protected]) no later than Monday, December 15, 2023.
