The summer school “Vampires and vampirism” will explore the vampire as anthropological and folkloric being who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood). Although vampirism as a mythical and folklore phenomenon, have been recorded in many cultures, the term vampire become especially popular in Europe.
From Anatolia (east) to Calabria (west), Byzantium aimed the highest level of Universalism in the religious and sacral domain. Byzantine art being a manifestation of the spiritual, intellectual, social and political preoccupations, is thus profoundly universal. Nevertheless, the geographical spread of the empire with its multicultural and pluri-ethnic components imposed a regionalists and even individualist tendencies expressed through the artistic currents in both iconographic and stylistic sense. The Summer School “Between est and west – Universalism verses Regionalism in byzantine art” will explore the phenomenon of the diversity and uniformity in byzantine art through the notions of exchanges, contacts and eclecticism, especially between eastern and western aesthetics.
