[1]. XIII SIMPOSIO INTERCRISTIANO "LA VITA DEI CRISTIANI E IL POTERE CIVILE:

QUESTIONI STORICHE E PROSPETTIVE ATTUALI IN ORIENTE E OCCIDENTE"(MILANO, 28-30.08.2013)

Da: Aisbnews ([email protected])

"La vita dei cristiani e il potere civile"

Presentazione del Simposo intercristiano che si terra' a Milano, dal 28 al 30 agosto, in occasione

dell'Anno Costantiniano.

I Simposi Intercristiani sono convegni teologico-spirituali promossi da due realta' accademiche:

l'Istituto Francescano di Spiritualita' della Pontificia Universita' Antonianum di Roma [1], e ilDipartimento di teologia della Facolta' teologica ortodossa della Universita' Aristoteles di

Salonicco.

Sono un'iniziativa di confronto teologico e culturale tra cattolici e ortodossi, che si inserisce nel

panorama delle iniziative ecumeniche, una delle prime a livello di istituzioni accademiche. Vale la

pena di ricordare tra gli iniziatori mons. Ioannis Spiteris, l'attuale arcivescovo di Corfu'.

Lo scopo fondamentale di questi incontri, maturato in 20 anni di esperienza, e' individuabile nella

bellezza del conoscersi vicendevolmente, nel coltivare relazioni fraterne di amicizia e di cordialità

affinche', con il crescere della conoscenza delle proprie rispettive tradizioni, possa aumentare la

stima vicendevole. In quanto realta' accademiche, nostro scopo non e' quello di raggiungere accordi

su punti controversi, ma di aumentare la conoscenza delle nostre tradizioni e coltivare l'amicizia

sincera tra noi, nella convinzione che tutto cio' non puo' che essere gia' in se stesso un contributo

alla causa dell'unita' tra i cristiani.

In questi anni sono cresciuti, verso i nostri simposi, l'attenzione, la collaborazione e il sostegno da

parte del Pontificio Consiglio per la promozione dell'unita' dei cristiani, in particolare nella persona

di Mons. Eleuterio Fortino, di venerata memoria, cui siamo particolarmente grati.

Ricordiamo infine con riconoscenza il fatto che, dal 1997, ha accompagnato e sostenuto la

celebrazione dei nostri convegni un messaggio autografo di saluto e di benedizione da parte delSanto Padre, il beato Giovanni Paolo II prima e Benedetto XVI nelle ultime edizioni. Lo stesso ha

fatto anche, in numerose occasioni, il Patriarca di Costantinopoli, Bartolomeo I.

I convegni si tengono ogni due anni, una volta in Grecia e una in Italia. Il prossimo Simposio, il

XIII, e' in programma a Milano dal 28 al 30 agosto del 2013, in occasione del centenario del

cosiddetto «editto di Milano»; la tematica sara' quella del rapporto tra l'autorità civile e la vita dei

cristiani e il titolo sara': La vita dei cristiani e il potere civile. Questioni storiche e prospettive attuali

in Oriente e Occidente.

Il Simposio intende considerare i fondamenti e i caratteri della percezione che lungo i secoli il

mondo cristiano ha avuto dell'autorita' civile, presentatasi alle origini nella forma paradigmaticadell'Impero romano. Sebbene la tolleranza ai cristiani nell'Impero sia stata accordata da Galerio nel

311, Costantino costituisce lo snodo decisivo per la successiva definizione delle modalita' di


4/33

presenza delle istituzioni ecclesiastiche nella societa'. Alla luce dei dettati neotestamentari, della

riflessione filosofica coeva e della concreta esperienza avviatasi con Costantino, e' derivato nel

mondo cristiano uno specifico modo di guardare alla societa', e all'autorita' che la presiede,

variamente sviluppatosi lungo la storia nei diversi contesti.

Le relazioni che verranno proposte mirano a ripercorrere l'evolvere degli atteggiamenti spiritualigeneratisi al riguardo in Oriente e in Occidente. Come noto, si tratta di atteggiamenti che gia'

nell'alto medioevo hanno conosciuto significative diversificazioni. Da tali diversificazioni sono

conseguite vicende storiche solo apparentemente tra loro eterogenee, ma in realta' radicate in

fondamenti comuni e mosse da istanze di spiritualita' complementari, quando non affini, al cui

fondo sta un analogo desiderio di rendere testimonianza all'Evangelo.

Attraverso la persona del prof. Cesare Alzati, da lungo tempo coinvolto nei Simposi intercristiani

promossi dal nostro Istituto, e' stato avviato un canale di collaborazione con l'Universita' Cattolica

del S. Cuore, che sara' la sede del simposio.

NOTE

[1] L'Istituto Francescano di Spiritualita' e' un centro universitario internazionale per lo studio e la

ricerca della spiritualita', del francescanesimo e per la formazione dei formatori. Nato dalla

collaborazione tra i Frati Minori e i Frati Minori Cappuccini, da 40 anni contribuisce alla

formazione di studenti (in maggioranza religiosi e religiose) provenienti da tutto il mondo. Offre la

possibilita' di ottenere la licenza in teologia con specializzazione in spiritualita', il dottorato di

ricerca in teologia, il master in formazione, il diploma in spiritualita'. L'attuale Preside e' p. Paolo

Martinelli OFM Cap.

[4]. KONFERENZ: "DER WEG ZUR HOELLE: SUENDEN UND IHRE BESTRAFUNG NACH

DEM TOD IM MITTELMEERRAUM" (MAINZ, 4-5.10.2013)

Da: Vera von Falkenhausen ([email protected])

Der Weg zur Hoelle: Suenden und ihre Bestrafung nach dem Tod im Mittelmeerraum

4.-5. Oktober 2013,

Tagungsort: Landesmuseum, Mainz

Organisiert von Prof. Dr. Vasiliki Tsamakda

Das Konzept der Suende und der Bestrafung im Jenseits sind eng verbunden mit bestimmten

Kulturen bzw. Religionen, v.a. dem Judentum, dem Christentum und dem Islam. Die Tagung zielt


10/33

darauf ab, anhand von schriftlichen und bildlichen Quellen die verschiedenen Aspekte des Themas

zu beleuchten. Dazu gehoert in erster Linie die Frage, worin eine Suende in den genannten

Religionen besteht, welcher Natur diese Suenden sind, und welche Strafen nach dem Tod drohen.

Zu fragen ist ferner, inwiefern die zur Verfuegung stehenden Texte und Darstellungen einen

kulturhistorischen und sozialgeschichtlichen Wert haben. Die Tagung bildet den sechsten und

letzten Workshop im Rahmen des Internationalen Leverhulme Netzwerkes, das seit 2010 das vom.13.-17. Jh. venezianisch beherrschte Kreta und seine aussergewoehnliche und vielfaeltige Hoellen-

und Verdammtendarstellungen erforscht. Die bisherigen Ergebnisse dieser Forschungen werden auf

der Tagung praesentiert. Die Tagung findet im Rahmen des Leverhulme International Network

Projektes Damned in Hell in the Frescoes of Venetian-Dominated Crete (13th- 17th centuries), das

von Dr. Angeliki Lymberopoulou (The Open University, Milton Keynes) und Prof. Dr. Vasiliki

Tsamakda (Johannes Gutenberg-Universitaet Mainz) geleitet wird.

"LA STAUROTECA DI BESSARIONE: RESTAURO, PROVENIENZA, AMBITO

CULTURALE A COSTANTINOPOLI E A VENEZIA"

Responsabili per l'organizzazione: Valeria Poletto (Accademia), Peter Schreiner (Centro Tedesco),

in collaborazione con Holger Klein (Columbia University, New York)


12/33

Nel 1472 il cardinale Bessarione regalo' alla Scuola di Santa Maria della Carita' a Venezia una

stauroteca, che conteneva oltre a frammenti del santo legno e della tunica di Cristo una croce dorata

e icone su tavolette. Dopo la soppressione del monastero in epoca Napoleonica l'oggetto arrivo' per

vie oscure nel 1821 a Vienna e trovo' posto nella Kunstkammer del Palazzo imperiale (Hofburg).Dopo la fine dell'impero asburgico e la restituzione all'Italia nel 1919, ritorno' al suo vecchio luogo,

la ex cappella del monastero, nei locali dell'Accademia. La stauroteca fu aperta, per la prima volta

dopo il 1765, nel novembre 2011 da specialisti dell'Opificio delle Pietre Dure a Firenze, fotografata

in tutte le parti e in seguito completamente restaurata nei locali dell'Opificio a Firenze.

Datazione, provenienza e attribuzione delle singole parti sono state oggetto di discussione negli

ultimi decenni. A questi problemi si dedicano, alla luce dei risultati del restauro, venti specialisti nel

campo della tecnica del restauro, dell'ornamentazione, dell'epigrafia, dell'iconografia, della storia

delle arti minori, della storia dell'epoca bizantina e rinascimentale e dell'archivistica, tra cui Ebe

Antetomaso (Roma), Antje Bosselmann (Magonza), Caroline Cambell (Londra), Matteo Ceriana

(Venezia), Nano Chatzidaki (Atena), Jannic Durand (Parigi), Gianfranco Fiaccadori (Milano),

Holger Klein (New York), Bissera Pentcheva (Stanford), Anna Pizzati (Venezia), Valeria Poletto(Venezia), Andreas Rhoby (Vienna), Antonio Rigo (Venezia), Peter Schreiner (Monaco), Panayotis

Vacotopoulos (Atena), Marino Zorzi (Venezia) e i restauratori delle Pietre Dure di Firenze.

Le conferenze hanno luogo nei locali dell'Accademia, dell'Istituto Veneto e dell'Istituto Ellenico. Il

programma definitivo sara' pubblicato a meta' settembre.

[9]. OTHELLO'S ISLAND: SECOND ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF MEDITERRANEAN AND

LEVANTINE CULTURAL HISTORY IN THE BYZANTINE, MEDIEVAL AND

RENASSAINCE PERIODS AND THEIR LEGACIES IN ART, CULTURE, HISTORY,

LITERATURE AND MORE (CYPRUS, 9-12.04.2014)

Da: Alessandra Bucossi ([email protected])

On behalf of the Academic Board of the 2014 Mediaeval and Renaissance Conference "Othello's

Island" I would like to inform you of our second annual conference taking place in Cyprus in 2014.

The conference is organised by academics from the Cornaro Institute, University of Sheffield

School of English and the University of Leeds School of Fine Art. It will be an opportunity to

discuss diverse aspects of this fascinating period in Mediterranean and Levantine history with

colleagues and reserach students from around the world. As a multi-disciplinary conference, art,

literature and other culture are all welcome topics, as are historical studies, archaeology, cultural

and material history, social history and other topics. However this list should not be seen as

exhaustive, so please do consider submitting a proposal even if your subject area is not listed.

Similarly, although based in Cyprus the aim of the second conference is to expand our

investigations into the wider Mediterranean and Levantine region, and to also encompass aspects of

Byzantine, Crusader State and Muslim cultural and social histories, during the Middle Ages and

Renaissance.

A major strand is Cyprus and/or the Mediterranean in art, literature and other culture in the period,

including their presence in the work of Shakespeare and other writers. Cyprus is, after all, the island

of Othello (in a manner of speaking).

We hope you will have an interest in attending this event yourself, but also please do circulate this

information to your colleagues and students, whether undergraduate, postgraduate or at research

level.

The Members of the Academic Board for Othello's Island Conference 2014 are:

Professor James Fitzmaurice, University of Sheffield

Professor Rico Frances, American University of Beirut

Dr Michalis Olympios, University of Cyprus

Dr Michael Paraskos, Cornaro Institute, Cyprus

Benedict Read, FSA, University of Leeds

Dr Rita Severis, Costas and Rita Severis Foundation Museum, Cyprus

[10]. 9TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON MEDIEVAL STUDIES (8-11.05.2014): CALL

FOR PAPERS FOR A PANEL DISCUSSIONE: MOVING IMAGE AS A MEANS OFDOCUMENTING AND PROMOTING BYZANTINE AND MEDIEVAL CULTURE

(DEADLINE: 15.09.2013)

Da: Claudia Sojer ([email protected])

Call for Papers for a Panel Discussion:

Moving Image as a Means of Documenting and Promoting Byzantine and Medieval Culture

Deadline: September 15, 2013

This panel aims to engage in a discussion about the use of moving images in fieldwork projects and

how the medium was used to document and promote Byzantine and Medieval art. By conducting a

comparison between the moving image collection held by the Image Collections and Fieldwork

Archives (ICFA) of Dumbarton Oaks and other similar holdings in other institutions, we aim to

explore their similarities and differences; understand the motivations of using this medium; and

illustrate the cinematic style employed in these film collections.

As a case study, this panel discussion aims to introduce ICFA's leading protagonist Thomas

Whittemore and the unique collection of moving images by the Byzantine Institute, a non-profit

organization established in 1930 by Whittemore to document their fieldwork activities, including

restoration and conservation. To understand the Institute's mission, we need to examine the stylistic

differences between its first film documentation of the Red Sea Monasteries in Egypt, filmed in

black-and-white, and the two most important monuments of Byzantine culture, Hagia Sophia and

Kariye Camii in Istanbul, Turkey. The former illustrates a traditional style of film documentation

for archaeological excavations with an anthropological interest, while the latter, filmed in color as

early as 1936 to 1948, displays a more formal and intimate approach towards the monuments. They

were instrumental for the promotion of the Institute's goal to capture the quality and splendor of

Byzantine mosaics and also illustrate the early techniques of restoration and conservation, leaving

an indispensable document of the methods employed.

Our questions for this panel discussion include: What were the initial motivations to use movingimages in the documentation of fieldwork activities? Was it solely a financial matter or can moving

images of fieldwork projects transmit a different message than still photography? Are the decisions

(e.g., color film vs. black-and-white film) dependent on the subject being captured or are they based

on the cinematographer's vision? And finally, what role did the films play for the reception of

Medieval and Byzantine art?

We welcome proposals for 15-minute presentations from archivists, curators, conservators,

historians, art historians, and archaeologists working with relevant material to discuss the topics

related to the use of moving images as a means of documenting and promoting Byzantine and

Medieval culture.

For consideration, please submit a one-page abstract, a CV, and the participant information form

(found here: https://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF) to the panel

WIEBKE-MARIE STOCK, BERLIN 2013 (BYZANTINISCHES ARCHIV, 25)


"AESTHETICS AND THEURGY IN BYZANTIUM", ED. BY SERGEI MARIEV - WIEBKE-

MARIE STOCK, BERLIN 2013 (BYZANTINISCHES ARCHIV, 25), approx. 246 pp., ISBN 978-

1-61451-262-2.

In comparison with the wave of research dedicated to the aesthetics of the Latin Middle Ages,

Byzantine aesthetics must be considered a relatively new and still largely unexplored subject. The

contributions assembled in the present volume document the growing research interest in this fieldand present a wide variety of issues and methodologies that will be of interest to students and

scholars of the philosophy, art, and literature of Late Antiquity and the Byzantine period.

The present volume assembles the papers presented at the round table "Aesthetics and Theurgy in

Byzantium" at the 22nd Congress of Byzantine Studies, which took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, in

August 2011.

The general scope of the present volume is to present a variety of approaches and topics within the

growing field of research on Byzantine aesthetics. Theurgy in Neoplatonic and Christian contexts is

represented by the contributions of W.-M. Stock and L. Bergemann; theories of beauty are at the

centre of interest of the papers by S. Mariev and M. Marchetto.

A. Pizzone approaches Byzantine aesthetics by looking for aesthetic experience in the literary texts,

while the remaining contributions explore issues related to the iconoclast controversy: An important

moment in the development of Byzantine philosophy on the eve of iconoclasm is the primary

interest of A. del Campo Echevarria, who looks at the question of universals in John of Damaskos.

The relationship between image and text in Byzantine illustrated manuscripts occupies the attention

of B. Crostini. D. Afinogenov explores from a philological perspective the fate of important

iconophile terminology in Old Bulgarian, while L. Lukhovitskij reconstructs from historical and

philological perspectives the historical memory of the iconoclast controversy during the Late

Byzantine Period.
