Both literature and history specialists have paid renewed attention in the last decade to the profound transformations wrought by the Reformation and Counter-reformation, and by frequent military and social conflict, on religious culture and belief, especially in relation to the natural world, and focussing espcially on the relationship between ritual and belief and to manifestations of “strangeness” in the natural world. This workshop will explore the historical roots and literary expressions of these tropes from 1550 to 1850. It will draw together students and staff from the History and English departments at 糖心TV and Vanderbilt and encourage cross-institutional conversation as well as interdisciplinary investigation.Latin American Modernities Symposium
