Le département d'anthropologie de VU University à Amsterdam et Radboud University de Nijmegen organise une journée d'étude sur aesthetics of religious leadership, 21 septembre 2012 (9h-17h, Metropolitan building, Buitenveldertselaan 3, Amsterdam). Inscription nécessaire auprès de Annet Bakker: j.m.e.Bakker@vu.nlReligious leaders of different backgrounds across the world increasingly manifest themselves in the public sphere. Through public performances and modern social media they build communities, create audiences, and convey their messages. The aim of the meeting is to explore how recent international scholarly discussions on aesthetics, mediation, and the senses can contribute to our understanding of the role of sensory modes (image, sound and performance) and experiences in the development of new forms of religious persuasion, new modes of religious performance and shifting sources of authority.Convenors: Prof. Thijl Sunier (VU University Amsterdam); Dr. Marleen de Witte (VU University Amsterdam); Dr. Martijn de Koning (Radboud University Nijmegen)
