Charisma of the Book: Global Perspectives

This workshop brings together scholars, artists, and curators in the fields of religion, literature, art history, and media, to develop global perspectives on the history and future of the book. How might the concept of charisma illuminate the materialization—and marginalization—of the book's cultural status and social power in the digital age? Image © Dia Azzawi Convened by
