DESCRIPTION:Two-day workshop organised by the 'Religious Diversity and the
  Secular University' project at CRASSH\n\nhttp://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/even
 ts/27698\n\nAttendees should ideally be able to attend both days of the wo
 rkshop. Attendance is free but please register your interest with Judith W
 eik as papers will be pre-circulated.\n\nWe devote the fourth internationa
 l workshop of the CRASSH-Mellon project\, "Religious Diversity and the Sec
 ular University" to artistic representations. Throughout the nineteenth ce
 ntury\, scholars across the disciplines fiercely debated questions about t
 he theological\, political\, and historical relationships between Christia
 nity\, Judaism and Islam. As the modern research university emerged\, thos
 e questions intersected with questions about the proper place of the study
  of religion(s) among the disciplines\, in ways we explored in depth in ea
 rlier workshops of our project. The arts - ancient and modern\, textual an
 d visual\, musical and dramatic - and the new museums and new urban spaces
  that exhibited them\, the public and private spaces in which they were co
 nsumed and the universities in which they were studied\, provided loci for
  some of the most powerful expressions and explorations of these interconn
 ected issues.  This workshop brings together scholars of 19th century pain
 ting\, sculpture\, photography\, novels\, poetry\, and travel literature t
 o explore the dynamics of religious interaction and study through its visu
 al\, literary and multidisciplinary expressions. \n\nSpeakers:\nKate Nicho
