DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture presented by Michele Cammarosano and Daniel Schw
 emer (Würzburg University)\n\nReligious ideas and practices are part of t
 he visual and material culture of societies\, ancient and modern. Landscap
 es\, architecture\, images\, objects and implements as well as materials a
 nd substances serve as signifiers of concepts\, narratives and norms\; the
 y express a shared interpretation of the world. The religious traditions o
 f 2nd and early 1st millennium Anatolia are documented in thousands of cun
 eiform texts\, mainly from the state archives of the Hittite capital Hattu
 sa (Boğazköy\, Central Turkey)\; these cuneiform texts are supplemented 
 by a great number of Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions. The textual record 
 contains a vast amount of information on the visual and material aspects o
 f Hittite religious traditions\, but a comprehensive collection of these d
 ata has never been undertaken nor have these data been systematically inte
 rpreted in the context of the visual and material culture as it is preserv
 ed in the archaeological record. The talk will discuss plans to address th
 is desideratum in a collaborative approach\, involving philologists\, arch
 aeologists and historians of religion.\n\n\n
