The Arts of Religion and Violence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Program in Scripture and the Arts at Boston University presents a series on the \u201cArts of Religion and Violence\u201d for spring, 2020.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The theme is meant to cover everything from graphic representations of violence in a religious mode (broadly defined) to material media \u2013 posters, symbols, relics — that instigate or recall violence in a religious mode.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The series begins with Karen King, a specialist in late antique Christianity, who has been working on the interpretation of martyrdom and martyrology.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In the week following this lecture we will have a lunchtime seminar on what \u201cArts of Religion and Violence\u201d can and should encompass (with a brief reading to stimulate discussion).\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Then, in March, SherAli Tareen, a specialist in intra-Muslim \u201cheresy\u201d debates and hostilities in south Asia (and author of Defending Muhammed in Modernity<\/em>), will present on our topic; and finally, in April, the medieval historian Miri Rubin, author of Gentile Tales: The Narrative Assault on Late Medieval Jews<\/em> and Mother of God: A History of the Virgin Mary<\/em>, will wrap up our series.<\/p>\n
