The Body in Byzantine Art
Universities Art Association of Canada
University of Waterloo, October 25-28, 2018
As Kathryn Ringrose notes in her contribution to the Oxford Handbook of Women and Gender in Medieval Europe, “the Byzantines perceived the body as malleable, able to be changed to suit the needs of society. They also believed that the appearance of the outer body reflected the quality of the inner person’s soul.” How did artists in this period depict the human form to reflect these beliefs and the world around them? How was the image of the body used to explore aspects of gender, class, inclusion and “otherness”? This session investigates the representation of the body in Byzantine art from various regions, both inside and outside the boundaries of the Empire, that echo the changing religious, political, and social currents from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries.
Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a bio of up to 150 words, can be emailed to the session chairs:

Proceedings of the International Conference Vienna, September 12th - 15th 2012. In Memoriam Konstantinos Pitsakis (1944-2012) and Andreas Schminck (1947-2015)
This volume about the history of the Ecumenical Patriarchate results from a congress, held in Vienna within the framework of research on the Register of the Patriarchate of Constantinople at the Division of Byzantine Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Chronologically, these papers cover the (Byzantine) period from the 11th century onwards. The majority of the collected studies concern a crucial source: the Register of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. This includes more than 800 documents written between 1315 and 1402 by or for the Patriarchate and the “permanent Synod” of Constantinople, and is now held in the Austrian National Library, Cod. hist. gr. 47 and 48. Besides the Register, the evidence for the Patriarchate is confined to a small number of documents, synodical acts, and occasional references in narrative histories. However, the present volume brings two new texts to light. The focus of this volume is on the organization and administration of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, as well as on new biographical details of individual patriarchs. It also includes contributions devoted to the continuity of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and its new tasks in the early post-Byzantine period.
