CONGRESS CANCELED Emblem Studies

Medieval Institute, Western Michigan University

Description

“Instagram had a medieval equivalent – and it’s making a comeback:” Emblems were to the Early Modern world what comics, logos or adverts are to us; they were ubiquitous in the visual culture. Presentations in this session cover emblems in the sphere of literary studies, art and architectural history, iconography, religious practice and theology, political discourses, the history of mentalities and material culture.
