The Centre for Religion and Heritage has the pleasure to invite you to the International Online Conference Paper Religion: Affordances and Uses in Christian Practices 1400 - 1500.

Paper Religion: Affordances and Uses in Christian Practices 1400 - 1800

An international interdisciplinary scholarly symposium on the medium of paper, its affordances, and uses during a period of transition in early modern Christianity. Speakers bring into conversation different religious groups sharing a common dependency on paper for the distribution of new visual and textual cultures: from prints to drawings, from emblem books to sacred music.
