  O Mosteiro e a Cidade

  IV Residência Cisterciense

  O mosteiro e a cidade é o tema que nesta IV Residência Cisterciense em São Bento de Cástris vai preocupar investigadores e participantes deste já habitual Encontro de final de Verão no Alentejo, no findar da 3ª semana de setembro. A IV Residência Cisterciense em São Bento de Cástris procurará aflorar questões, lançar pistas de estudo que, não dando respostas, podem interessar jovens investigadores para trabalhos futuros e chamar a atenção dos investigadores séniores para a necessidade de releituras do mundo dos religiosos e, por aí, de muitas das realidades da história local e nacional. A permeabilidade que o tema deste ano suscita estará também presente nas diferentes trocas e experiências que podem vivenciar no mosteiro, especialmente ao nível cultural e artístico, apostando na sua relação com a cidade, que se pretende manter e cimentar.

  Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches

  The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

  Worship Sound Spaces

  Sound perception of places of worship (of different religions) via a multidisciplinary anthropological and acoustic approach

  The aim of this workshop is to explore, with a trans-disciplinary perspective, the various sonic issues project managers encounter when building or rehabilitating worship spaces in different cultural contexts. Building or rehabilitating such spaces should not only answer to requirements dictated by the building but should also take into account the practices, perceptions and expectations of the various actors and users of those spaces (religious officiants and practitioners, etc.).
