Gather at Notre Dame University this summer to discuss, Transforming Violence: Cult, Culture and Acculturation
Bill Traylor, “Preacher and Congregation,” 1939-42, Collection of Judy A. Saslow
Meeting of the Colloquium on Violence and Religion
June 30-July 4, 2010
University of Notre Dame
Violence clearly transforms persons and communities. Violence is also transformed by those same, affected persons and communities, as they struggle to live in its wake or under its continued threat. What sort of artistic, expressive forms and cultural formations result from the experience of violence? How do they give and conceal evidence of their violent genesis? What determines whether or not a cultural form puts violence to rest, keeps it at bay, perpetuates it, or awakens its reappearance in yet another, related form? Can the “art” of violence become the work of peace? If so, how and under what conditions?
Co-organizers: Ann W. Astell and Margaret Pfeil, Department of Theology
