Desacralization in Premodern Europe and Asia. Senses, Spaces and Objects
Conference
Potsdam, 26-27 March 2026

Sacrality is a ubiquitous concept in academia. Although recent studies have complicated the notion of the sacred and the profane, their binary construction remains influential. One consequence of this distinction is that processes of sacralization are well-researched, but processes of desacralization are not. The conference brings together experts from ancient, medieval and early modern studies to investigate notions of desacralization in a comparative and trans-epochal framework.
