DESCRIPTION:Gastvortrag in englischer Sprache von Michele Cammarosano und 
 Daniel Schwemer (Universität Würzburg)\n\nReligious ideas and practices 
 are part of the visual and material culture of societies\, ancient and mod
 ern. Landscapes\, architecture\, images\, objects and implements as well a
 s materials and substances serve as signifiers of concepts\, narratives an
 d norms\; they express a shared interpretation of the world. The religious
  traditions of 2nd and early 1st millennium Anatolia are documented in tho
 usands of cuneiform texts\, mainly from the state archives of the Hittite 
 capital Hattusa (Boğazköy\, Central Turkey)\; these cuneiform texts are 
 supplemented by a great number of Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions. The te
 xtual record contains a vast amount of information on the visual and mater
 ial aspects of Hittite religious traditions\, but a comprehensive collecti
 on of these data has never been undertaken nor have these data been system
 atically interpreted in the context of the visual and material culture as 
 it is preserved in the archaeological record. The talk will discuss plans 
 to address this desideratum in a collaborative approach\, involving philol
 ogists\, archaeologists and historians of religion.\n
