Friends of the Library present ‘Medieval Churches, Religious Panoramas, and the
Passion of the Spectator’, Nov. 18

The Friends of the William and Anita Newman Library
Baruch College

Cordially invite you to a lecture by Professor Alison M. Griffiths, Associate Professor,
Communication Studies, Baruch College/CUNY

“Spectacular Viewing: Medieval Churches, Religious Panoramas, and The Passion
of the Spectator”

This lecture investigates Medieval cathedrals, religious panoramas, and Mel
Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ as specific but related ways of experiencing
precinematic and cinematic representations of Christian iconography, especially
Christ’s Passion.  Inscribed in each of these historically diverse representational
forms is a notion of the “revered gaze,” a way of encountering and making sense of
images that are distinctly spectacular in form and content.  Historical spectators may
have been as intrigued and moved by two- and three-dimensional representations
of Christ’s life encountered in Medieval cathedrals and nineteenth century circular
panoramas as were contemporary viewers of Gibson’s recent The Passion of the
Christ.
