Webinar iv: The Heavenly Jerusalem in Medieval Imagery and Imagination - 7 May 2024 |
 |
Twice per academic term, At the End of the World hosts a webinar, featuring experts in topics pertaining to our collaborative areas of study. These events are attended by our internal research team and are open to the public. In spring of 2024, we will have two webinars. Further details about the webinars will be published at the beginning of the new year. In the fourth webinar of the At the End of the World research program’s series 16:00–17:30 (Stockholm time) on 7 May 2024, Kristin Bliksrud Aavitsland and Lena Liepe will examine the various forms that the idea of the Heavenly Jerusalem took in medieval thought, with particular focus on medieval church art. The earthly Jerusalem was the principal locus of divine intervention in human history, while the future reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem, where the saved would rejoice eternally after the end of time, reached into the present of this world and was sacramentally actualized every celebration of Mass. Aavital repertoire of the Last Judgement and the Heavenly Jerusalem; Aavistland will present the concept of the Jerusalem Code, recently explored in a large research project of the same name: Liepe will outline the medieval idea of the physical church building as an image of the Heavenly Jerusalem. |
