Enormous funds were spent on these monuments, either by the occupants themselves or by their heirs, for whom the sepulchers became a generalized marker of family status. Epitaphs were also fashioned of words, penned in ink and published as well as engraved in stone. Poetical tributes and eulogies to rulers gave them another type of public persona. For this conference we wish to focus on the agency of these creations in the social and political arena of Northern Europe and Iberia.Programme9:00 – 9:20Introduction by Ethan Matt Kavaler (University of Toronto)9:20 – 11:20: Religion &#38; TheatreJeffrey Chipps Smith(University of Texas at Austin):“Gerhard Gröninger, the Theatrics of Faith, and the Renewal of Noble Identity in St. Paulus Cathedral in Münster”Ivo Raband (University of Bern/Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, Max Planck Institute):“Contested Memory?
