Texto e adivinhação no mundo romano
- 8 e 9 de julho de 2019 UNIRIO Religious images embody beliefs and knowledges. They are products of dialogues, exchanges and controversies. As the result of historical developments, they are not fixed, but dynamic. They are located in a multiplicity of records: in ritual practices; in religious, political and intellectual domains; in debates on legitimacy, authority, identity, and in theological debates in which they emerge as active elements in the unfolding of the arguments.  We intend to explore this complex and fascinating problem in a three-day colloquium to be held at UNIRIO, thanks to the support of a British Academic Newton Advanced Fellowship. Our aim is to overcome the convencional disciplinary divides that have all too often hindered scholarly and intellectual exchanges. We will bring together in conversation specialists in Ancient History, Art History, Archaeology, Religious Studies, Classics, Ancient Philosophy and Politics. Our key goal is to broaden the conversation beyond conventionally ‘religious’ domain.
