This theory seminar is the first in a series of seminars on the ‘Multifaceted Aspects of Ritual’ directed at graduate students who are interested in the topic. In this meeting, to contextualize the series and the succeeding seminars in past and current scholarship on ritual, there will be a brief presentation on the themes and trends in Minoan and Aegean Religion over the past 100 years. The presentation will summarize the theoretical developments during this time and assess how they impacted and changed approaches and questions being asked in Minoan religion that has culminated in a recent focus on the scholarship of ritual. The presentation will be succeeded by a group discussion on the topic.
The seminar size will be limited to only 20 people in order to have a fruitful and educational discussion. In case you have any questions, please contact the Assist. Director: irishinstitutegr@gmail.com
The seminar is co-hosted with the the School of Archaeology, University College Dublin
