The open access journal\u00a0Religions<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0(ISSN 2077-1444) is pleased to announce the launch of\u00a0a new special issue entitled “Sacred Space and Religious Art<\/strong>.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guest-edited by Dr Anna-Maria Moubayed<\/strong> (University of Navarra, Spain), this special issue\u00a0focuses mostly on medieval and neo-medieval art, architecture, music, and sacred drama.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While political and social movements, and \u201cgo\u00fbts du jour\u201d fall in and out of favour, one element remains present in various ways in our societies: religion, as defined institutionally, experientially\/ritually, theologically, artistically, and socially. Any religion involves the sacred. In The Sacred and the Profane, historian Mircea Eliade demonstrates how the sacred is not a moment in history, but rather something constructed and\/or established by human beings. Whether determined and established by scriptures, myths, tradition, events, inscriptions and\/or memory, sacred spaces are loci of transcendence. \u201cWhat is a sacred space?\u201d \u201cWhat makes it scared?\u201d \u201cHow does religious art function in sacred spaces?\u201d and \u201cHow does a sacred place impact a religious work of art?\u201d These are a few questions in which this Special Issue is interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the sacred spaces of medieval churches, mosques, temples, sculpted fa\u00e7ades, manuscripts, and reliquaries to those of the busy streets of Manhattan, museums, or the great outdoors, this Special Issue welcomes manuscript submissions from a multidisciplinary perspective, focusing on the relationship between medieval and\/or neo-medieval religious art and sacred spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This call for papers differs from the previous Religions<\/em> Special Issues entitled, \u201cSacred Space and Place\u201d and \u201cSacred Spaces: Designing for the Transcendental,\u201d which both focus on contemporary issues, while not necessarily addressing religious art. Instead, this Special Issue provides a chronological succession to the themes addressed in \u201cHousing the Sacred: Religious Architecture in the Ancient Eastern Mediterranean,\u201d which is concerned with a pre-medieval issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concerned with medieval and neo-medieval art and architecture, this Special Issue\u2014Sacred Space and Religious Art\u2014aims to create a space for interdisciplinary dialogue between history, theology, art history, music, literature, and philosophy. Focusing on religious art, it is also concerned with the interconnectivities between the spatial and the temporal, the sacred and the profane, the philosophical and the religious, the visible and the invisible.
