Things that connect – pathways of materiality and practice
The conference will take place from October 10-12 at the Karl Jaspers Center, University of Heidelberg, and is being organized by Research Area D "Historicities and Heritage" in cooperation with the CRC 933 "Material Text Cultures".
The thematic focus of this year's meeting is the study of materiality and the power it exercises in cultural processes. The expanding field of material culture studies has infused a new dynamism into a range of disciplines from archaeology and epigraphy to anthropology, histories of consumption, quotidian life, technology, curatorial and museum studies, aesthetics and art history. read more
