[Histport] Call for Papers: Relics 2021 - International Conference (24-27 Nov 2021)

[Rui Bordalo <rmbordalo@gmail.com>]

Dear Colleagues,  

We have the pleasure to announce the call for papers for the I International Conference on Relic Studies - RelicS 2021 that will take place on November 24-27 2021.

The call for papers is open till February 28th, 2021.
 
The relic, as a physical, rare and valuable remnant of a lost or destroyed religious past, as well as of great spiritual and sensory value, is a vast and complex subject due to the multiplicity of research, conservation and valuation perspectives that it raises. Despite the diversity of studies on relics and their reliquaries, both national and international, the sharing of knowledge on this subject is scarce, focusing mainly on issues of historical and anthropological nature. Thus, RelicS 2021 aims to foster interdisciplinary cross-studies, projects, strategies and artistic practices based on multiple and multidisciplinary approaches.
 
In 2021 we will have the opportunity to bring together different scientific areas, in order to foster discussion and share knowledge around a non-consensual and sensitive topic.
