FAITHS

Plenary III: Faiths - Friday, 2:00 pm
In this session we considered how early modern women participated in spiritual life--in organized religion, in written meditation, in art, music, and imaginative literature. How did gender affect the reformation, counter-reformation, and revolutions of religion in early modern Europe? How did women express their hopes and fears in prophecies, utopian visions, and millenarian beliefs? Comparatively across cultures, how were women's spiritual lives changed during the early modern era? How are stories and patterns of conversion gendered? How did female European missionaries change the cultures with which they came in contact, and how were they changed by these cultures? How do we, from over year 2000 standpoint, understand the spiritualities of early modern women and their representations?
