Panel Report: Hagiographies: Topics, Canonization and Interculturality

In the morning of Friday, June 30, Panel no. 6 (Hagiographies: Topics, Canonization and Interculturality) was held. The panel was convened by Johannes Beltz (Museum Rietberg Zurich) and Andreas Doctor (Kathmandu University). This was the second time that a panel on hagiographical studies was organized under ECMSAS auspices. The panel was well attended by scholars from a variety of geographical regions, study areas and disciplines. Apart from the speakers, the panel also benefited from an interested and lively audience, which further contributed to many fruitful dialogues and discussions. At the conclusion it was decided to apply for a continuation of this panel at the next ECMSAS in 2008. From the paper contributions of this year's panel preliminary discussions for possible joint publication was also initiated.
