DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the School of Critical Studies (Theology 
 & Religious Studies) at the University of Glasgow and the Joseph Chair of 
 Catholic Spirituality at Boston College\, we are pleased to announce an in
 ternational conference exploring “Graphic Signs of Religion\, Identity\,
  and Authority in Antiquity.”\n\nThe modern world is\, in many ways\, a 
 world driven\, and sometimes even defined\, by digital images that are pro
 jected on screens\, transmitted to televisions\, and glowing on smartphone
 s. Although the ancient world is separated from the digital age by several
  millennia\, it is a world no less filled with vast occurrences of graphic
  signs in numerous contexts including altars\, inscriptions\, manuscripts\
 , stamps\, seals\, amulets\, household objects\, and traditional media for
  art. When\, in the fourth century\, St. Augustine observed Quo signo cruc
 is omnis actio Christiana describitur (“By that sign of the cross every 
 Christian act is described”\; De doctrina Christiana\, 2.150)\, he was n
 ot only expressing a sentiment concerning a graphic sign relevant for his 
 day and context but also bringing to expression a principle of graphic sig
 ns of religion and identity found in both previous and subsequent eras: gr
 aphic signs are presentations of beliefs and norms and distinctive markers
  of identity and authority.\n\nThis conference brings together senior and 
 mid-career scholars in order to provide both scholarly paper presentations
  designed to advance the scholarship being done on a variety of interrelat
 ed topics as well as workshops designed to facilitate discussion and encou
 rage graduate student involvement in collective reflect on how graphic sig
 ns have shaped\, and continue to shape\, religion\, representations of aut
 hority\, and corporate and individual identity. Registration is requested 
 for sessions and workshops\, but not required for the public\, plenary lec
 ture on Friday night.\n\nAll sessions and workshops will take place in McE
 lroy 237. Friday evening's plenary lecture will be held in The Heights Roo
 m (Corcoran Commons). Please register to attend.
