Jasmina S. Ciric

Jasmina S. Ćirić obtained her education in Art History from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy (Department of Art History). Her research primarily delves into the visual cognition and significance of Late Byzantine Art and Architecture, focusing on rites of passage and their liturgical contexts. She demonstrates a keen interest in exploring how ornamentation operates across different materials, serving as a potent visual conduit for conveying intricate theological meanings. More specifically, her endeavours are centred around identifying the potential for 'writing' the body within architectural units through active participation in the Liturgy. This process involves crafting a sort of corporeal "autobiography" or body narrative, where the mechanics of the body and one's lived experiences within them play active roles in the Liturgy of the Faithful.

In the academic realm, she holds diverse editorial roles within prominent journals:

Her scholarly involvement extends further as she serves as a member of the scientific committee at The Izmir Center of the Archaeology of Western Anatolia (EKVAM), focusing on the Archaeology and History of Lydia from the Early Lydian Period to Late Antiquity (8th Cent. B.C. - 5th Cent. A.D.).

She is a member of the Management Committee of the COST ACTION 19131 project, further exemplifying her commitment to advancing academic dialogue and research.

Beyond her academic pursuits, she has contributed to the Erasmus + program as a lecturer at institutions including Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Masaryk University in Brno, Charles University in Prague, and Philips University Marburg.

Furthermore, she dedicates herself to the preservation and study of monuments of culture within the Serbian cultural space in the Balkans, as well as advocating for the rights of Serbs in the diaspora.
