Centre for Studies in Religion and Society Public Lecture Series

Postponed from January 18 - Divine Origins: Did Shamanistic Practices Inspire the Earliest Art?
Genevieve von Petzinger, CSRS Ian H. Stewart Graduate Student Fellow
Department of Anthropology, UVic

Shamanism is a very old spiritual tradition that continues to be practiced in various parts of the modern world.  It has been proposed that shamanism could have been the religion of the people of Ice Age Europe, and that rock art from this time period (10,000 – 35,000 years ago) was created for this purpose.  This talk will address the question of whether shamanism could have been the motivating factor for the creation of the oldest known art in the world. 

Genevieve von Petzinger is a PhD student in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria.  Her main area of interest is European Ice Age rock art, in particular its geometric imagery, and how we can use these images to identify cognitive and symbolic evolution in modern humans, as well as look at patterns of migration and cultural borrowing.

The University of Victoria's Retirees Association and the Centre on Aging—with support from the university—presents Masterminds 2012, a free lecture series running each Wednesday evening in April.

During the 1950s and 1960s, a small number of architects changed Victoria's built environment with forward-looking plans and bold new forms. Major projects of the period were the University of Victoria’s Gordon Head campus and Centennial Square in the core of the city. This presentation draws on research on the development of a regional modernist aesthetic in the post-war Victoria urban landscape.

Martin Segger is the former director and curator of the Maltwood Art Museum and Gallery, and was a senior research associate in the Centre for Global Studies and adjunct professor in the Department of History in Art. He has also served as president of the International Council of Museums, and is a Fellow of the Canadian Museums Association and of the Royal Society of Arts.  Professor Segger was awarded the President’s Distinguished Service Award in 2010 for his contributions to UVic over a period of 37 years, especially for cultural resource management and heritage initiatives.
