SUMMARY:Christian Destruction and Desecration of Images of Classical Antiqu
 ity
DESCRIPTION:Conférence de John Pollini\, professeur d’archéologie et d
 ’art classique à l'University of Southern California au département d
 ’histoire de l’artRésumé In popular culture Christianity is remember
 ed for the art\, architecture\, customs\, rituals\, and myths that it pres
 erved from the classical past. It is rarely acknowledged\, however\, that 
 Christianity also destroyed a great deal in its conversion of the Roman Em
 pire. The material evidence for Christian destruction has often been overl
 ooked or gone unrecognized even by archaeologists. This lecture examines v
 arious forms of Christian destruction and desecration of images of classic
 al antiquity during the fourth to seventh centuries\, as well as some of t
 he attendant problems in detecting and making sense of this phenomenon. (T
 his lecture is based on Professor Pollini’s present book project\, “Ch
 ristian Destruction and Desecration of Images of Classical Antiquity: A St
 udy in Religious Intolerance and Violence in the Ancient World\,” for wh
 ich he received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the America
 n Council of Learned Societies.)Conférence présentée par le Centre d’
 études classiques de l’Université de Montréal et l'Archaeological Ins
