CFP: “Spanish Interpretations of the Apocalypse: Exegesis, Text,
and Image”

Session sponsored by the Ibero-Medieval Association of North America
45th International Congress on Medieval Studies
Western Michigan University
13-16 May 2010
(http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/)

How do Spanish interpretations of the Apocalypse in theological,
exegetical, literary, and iconographical works distinctively respond
to Iberian historical contexts? Do Spanish interpretations of the
Apocalypse differ from those of other regions of Europe ? These
questions suggest the exploration of themes such as (but not limited
to) the relationships between texts and apocalyptic iconography,
popular and orthodox appropriations of apocalyptic prophecies and/ or
images, the image of the Antichrist in the evolution of
anti-heretical discourse in the context of the Reconquest, the
didactic and/ or propagandistic aspirations in literary and/ or
iconographic treatments of eschatological sources.

Please submit an abstract (200-300 words) to Patricia Timmons at
ptimm@tamu.edu by 15 September 2009.
Please include a completed Participant Information Form (see
