Metanoia. Sacred Spaced from the Pantheon to the Chapel of Matisse

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The course will introduce an understanding of sacred spaces in which the liturgy, the encounter with God, the realisation of the human being go hand in hand. The history of the theory of the sacred space and metanoia will be developed from Antiquity to the Contemporary time. The course will also introduce the spiritual, theological and anthropological thought on realization in the encounter of man, God and the world in the sacred space. Planned site visits are part of the course and offer an experience of the pedagogy of the sacred spaces. At the end of the course students will reflect and share their knowledge and experience gained from the course.
