Keely Heuer
Associate Professor Keely Heuer’s invitation essay entitled “Religion and Belief in Apulia” will be published in the book “Underworld: Imagining the Afterlife in Ancient South Italian Vase Painting” by the J. Paul Getty Museum Press in January 2022. This essay is the first of its kind in English to discuss what is known about religious activity in the Italic communities of ancient Apulia.
In 2021, Heuer’s “Purposeful Polysemy: Cross-cultural Reception in South Italian Vase-Painting” appeared in the volume “Griechische Vasen als Kommunikations-Medium,” published by the Austrian Academy of Sciences this year. It discusses the selection of particular imagery painted on vases made prior to the Roman conquest, and its ability to transcend ethnic and lingual boundaries.
