The interface among the material, visual, and literary cultures of the long late antiquity and beyond has become a topic of scholarly interest ever since the publication of the seminal 1989 book The Jeweled Style by Michael Roberts. The topical relevance of Roberts’ original concept more than 30 years after its invention is clear from, among other scholarly endeavors, the recent edited volume The Jeweled Style Revisited (2023), which offers numerous insightful contributions on the topic. Following this fruitful line of scholarly discourse, this conference wishes to expand and collectively rethink the “cumulative aesthetics” of the long late antiquity ranging from the 4th to the 9th century offering a shared interdisciplinary platform to study late antique aesthetic developments across different media and territories by bringing together specialists from different disciplines: art history, aesthetics, classical philology, and archaeology.
