With the School of Religious Studies of CAMNES, I organized the online international workshop Sacred Nature: Animism and Materiality in Ancient Religions, which took place on May 20th-21st 2021. Drawing upon animism and material religion, scholars of different disciplines (archaeology, anthropology, iconography, philology, history of religions) got into conversation about the perception of nature and its other-than-human inhabitants, and readdressed some notions about nature, personhood/agency, divinity/sacrality, and materiality/spirituality in religions and cosmologies of ancient communities inhabiting both the Old and the New World.
