fifth conference on the cultural heritage of medieval rituals


On October 25-26, the Centre for the Study of the Cultural Heritage of Medieval Rituals, a center funded by the Danish National Research Foundation, organized its fifth conference at the Theological Faculty of Copenhagen University, Denmark. Papers were meant to contribute to the understanding of modern Western European culture by highlighting the resonance and resurfacing of medieval church rituals in the modern arts and culture. This conference marked the final stage of the almost eight year long project of the Centre. Participants included (among many others; from right to left) Mett Bruun (Copenhagen), Nils Holger Petersen (Copenhagen), Martin Wangsgaard Jürgensen (Copenhagen), Richard Utz (Western Michigan), Sieglind Bruhn (Michigan), and Magnar Breivik (Trondheim).
