DESCRIPTION:Day 2 of Religiosity\, Spirituality\, Material Culture in Korea
 : Devotional Objects and Contemporary Variations. (Day 1 is unavailable.)R
 eligiosity and spirituality may be intangible in concept and principle\, b
 ut these ideas are manifest in materiality. This two-day symposium expands
  the scope of Korean art history to objects outside the traditional catego
 ry of “fine art” and moves beyond aesthetic analysis to consider sensorial
  engagement\, ritual function\, the transformative reception of materialit
 y\, techniques of production\, and histories of consumption. Participants 
 will discuss both institutionalized and unorthodox objects and practices f
 rom Buddhism\, Daoism\, Shamanism\, and Christianity over a wide chronolog
 ical range of themes from ancient worship objects to fandom in contemporar
 y popular culture.Co-organized by Heeryoon Shin (Bard College) and Kyunghe
 e Pyun (Fashion Institute of Technology).This symposium was supported by t
 he 2023 Korean Studies Grant Program of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS
