DESCRIPTION:Religion Department Annual Lecture\nSherry C.M. Lindquist\, The
  Book of Hours and the Body: Technologies of Devotion and Identity\nWednesd
 ay\, March 26\; Barrister’s Hall (Law School)\n\nThis lecture investigates 
 the ways in which aesthetically sophisticated objects like illuminated Book
 s of Hours may function as “devotional technologies” or “identity machines.
 ” The variety of familiar\, idealized\, monstrous\, transcendent\, and abje
 ct bodies visualized in these late medieval and early modern prayerbooks he
 lp us understand the interrelated mechanisms of self-fashioning and otherin
 g. Such objects enable infinite\, fluctuating meanings through dynamic tens
 ions between text and image\, material and immaterial\, icon and narrative\
 , margin and center\, human and divine\, individual and society. Bodies in 
 Books of Hours compel their viewers—past and present—to ponder\, and perhap
 s to reconsider\, what it means to have a body\, what it means to be human.
 \n\nSherry C.M. Lindquist is Professor of Art History at Western Illinois U
 niversity. Her work has been recognized by grants from the Fulbright\, Gett
 y\, Kress\, and Mellon foundations\, as well as the Newberry Library\, Yale
