NEW TRENDS IN THE ANALYSIS OF ROMAN POLYTHEISM  

 

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

Universidad Carlos III de Madrid

Campus Puerta de Toledo

25-27 October 2023

 

 

This conference is the culmination of the work of the research project “Religion: The Individual and the Communitas” (RICO), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (ref. no. PID2020-117176GBI00) to increase our knowledge of the ways in which, in the context of ancient polytheism, individuals and communities interacted with the supernatural. The aim of this congress is to contribute to the ongoing theoretical discussion on these conceptual tools by offering new reflections on their general or contextual value and applicability and, at the same time, to provide cases-studies in each of the following panels:

 

1. “Religious competition”. Keynote speaker: Greg Woolf (UCLA)

 

2. “Urban religion”. Keynote speaker: Emiliano Rubens Urciuoli (Università Bologna)

 

3. “Religious networks”. Keynote speaker: Anna Collar (University of Southampton)

 

4. “Exploring Resonanz”. Keynote speaker: Wolfgang Spickermann (Universität Graz)

 

5. “Sensoriality, embodiment, emotions and materiality”. Keynote speaker: Emma-Jayne Graham (Open University UK).

 

Organisation Committee: 

Jaime Alvar Ezquerra (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) 

Lorena Pérez Yarza (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)

José Carlos López Gómez (Universidad de Málaga)

Secretary: Pablo Rodríguez Valdés (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid)
