Visual Narratives of Faith: Religion, Ritual and Identity

Monday, 11 July 2016: 09:00-10:30
Location: Hörsaal 13 (Juridicum)
WG03 Visual Sociology (host committee)

Language: English

Drawing on the work of Geertz (1973) on ritual behaviour and Claude Lévi-Strauss (1966) on ritual bricolage, this session invites papers that will discuss the use of the visual in researching rituals, faith narratives and faith-based identities. It welcomes papers that engage with themes such as: 

  • The role of ritual objects and material culture in constructing meaning and (re)creating faith rituals
  • The potential of ritual bricolage to (re)create and/or disrupt rituals, faith narratives and faith-based identities
  • Faith rituals as (temporary) assemblage(s)
  • The queering of faith rituals


Panellists are strongly encouraged to use film, photographs, drawings, artefacts, bricolage, assemblages and academic critique to discuss how visual narratives intervene with, disrupt, and make audible, faith-based identities.
