Course Description:
The course explores the main ideas behind the sacral space on the example of the sacral architecture of Rome, from the ancient times to the postmodern. The course maximizes the opportunity for off-campus teaching in Rome; most classes are held in real surroundings, which best illustrates particular course topics. Students will be able to learn about different religious traditions, various religious ideas, and practices (including the ancient Roman religion, early Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism, as well as the main elements of religion and sacred spaces of ancient Judaism and Islam). Students will have the opportunity to experience a variety of sacred spaces and learn about the broader cultural and historical context in which they appeared. Short study trips outside of Rome may also take place.
