Imaging the Ineffable:
Representation and Reality in Religion and Film
A Graduate Student Conference
Friday, March 29th, 5 pm to Sunday, March 31st, 2 pm
The Mahindra Humanities Center at Harvard University invites you to the 2013 Mellon
Interdisciplinary Humanities Graduate Student Conference on the topic of imaging the
ineffable in religion and film. The paradox of showing what cannot be shown is a perennial
issue in the fields of both Religion and Film Studies. In one of the most celebrated
passages of Buddhist scripture, for instance, the sage Vimalakirti is asked to expound on
the ultimate meaning of the Buddha's teachings. Famously, Vimalakirti responds with
silence, for the Buddha's teachings are beyond words. In the same vein, the
celebrated film critic and theorist Stanley Cavell argued that the unique feature of the
filmic medium lies in its ability to show us what isn't there; that is, to make
absence present. This conference focuses on the intersection of religion and film in their
aspirations to challenge the limits of signification.
