Religious monuments are one of the most ubiquitous features on the palimpsest of landscape, due to the fact that the landscape provides a highly visible canvas on which agents (states, communities, individuals, religious groups) can advertise the presence, dominance, or claimed dominance of their belief system. This session will examine the key role played by landscape in the case of contested religious space, and in particular how the process of large scale conversion from one religion to another is manifested in the landscape. In recent years advances in remote sensing techniques, geophysical prospection and landscape analysis have enabled researchers to map the ebb and flow of religious tendencies more precisely and have allowed for more nuanced narratives for the processes of conversion. This session will explore a variety of approaches used to map this change from Late Antiquity to the Post-Medieval Period and will consider a range of questions that are still relevant to this continuously evolving field of research. Is it possible to distinguish a hierarchy of roles played by various site types in the conversion process (for example parish churches, private oratories and monasteries in the case of Christianisation in the post-Roman West)? How do the results from landscape analyses compare with the picture from written sources? How can we effectively map the interaction between religious, secular, economic and political networks? Is it possible to detect strategies of resistance and resilience by the pre-conversion religion? How have modern religious nationalist narratives and interventions affected religious landscapes? The session welcomes papers from researchers working on landscapes of conversion from Antiquity through to the Post-Medieval period. It is hoped such a wide perspective will allow for a fuller discussion of the common mechanisms by which the landscape is utilised during the process of conversion across a range of temporal and spatial scales.
