Conference | Divining the Message, Mediating the Divine


A graduate conference on how new media technologies have transformed the way people imagine and communicate with the divine. Keynote speakers include Bernard Stiegler, Director of the Department of Cultural Development at Centre Georges-Pompidou; Mark C. Taylor, Chair of Religion; Brian Larkin, Professor of Anthropology;, and Samuel Weber, Professor of German at Northwestern University. Whether sacred symbols or sanctioned authorities, intermediaries have been both conduits for and barriers to access to the divine. Mediating objects, forms, rituals, and people have long been central to religious practice and belief. They are conditions of both possibility and impossibility, at one and the same time providing glimpses of the heavens and anchoring us to the earth.
