Article Description

In this lecture, Izaak de Hulster focuses on concepts of vision and light. De Hulster uses iconographic exegesis to analyze various interpretations of these visual sources in iconographic motifs. De Hulster addresses cosmic geography and its relation to the notion of order in antiquity. This lecture concentrates on a specific group of symbols that have significance to ancient constitutions of ecology. In addition to being present in the ancient world, de Hulster contends that these ecological understandings still have relevance today.Izaak J. de Hulster (PhD 2008, University of Göttingen) From 2009-2014, he worked as post-doctoral researcher at the Georg-August-University Göt­tingen (Germany) as part of the Alexander-von-Humboldt foundation sponsored Sofja Kovalev­skaja Project "Unity and Diversity in Early Jewish Monotheisms."
