Abstract | This is the first of two complementary sessions dealing with the representations and reflections of conformity and dissent. They intend to explore opposite and often co-existing reactions to the religious and political background of the time, and the way they impacted on the iconography of different media. Spanning from the 5th to 10th century, and considering several geographic contexts, it is our aim to discuss how heresy and orthodoxy could filter, inform, and shape iconography, using various ways to achieve effective and often dramatic results. |
