Kalamazoo CFP: “Dead Bodies, Living Souls: Late Medieval Representations of Death and the Afterlife”

Throughout the Middle Ages, the pious Christian was constantly preoccupied with both the death of the earthly body and the subsequent survival of the soul. The fear of dying suddenly without repenting and confessing engendered images of death and the afterlife.

Organizer: Angelica Verduci, axv270@case.edu
