Water in Medieval Culture
Water in Medieval Culture – The 16th Symposium of the Mediävistenverband will be held at the University of Bern 22.03.2015 – 25.03.2015
Water is life. Individual organisms, social formations and cultural acheivements all depend on Water. It is used in both pragmatic and symbolic contexts. Being a life-sustaining as well as destructive force, water connects and divides, absolves and dissolves. Society as a whole and individual institutions alike need to engage with and adapt to these ambivalent aspects of water. As a natural element, water provokes cultural reactions in regard to its utilization, evaluation and symbolism. The different functions water fulfills in the natural world are also addressed and negotiated in literature and visual arts.
The conference aims to shed light on
- Environment – Climate- Ecology
- Means of Transportation, Boundary, Bases of Power
- Natural History and Natural Philosophy
- Symbolism (Symbolbildungen)
Please send proposals before the 28th of februar to wasser2015@kps.unibe.ch
