Call For Papers | |||||||||||
This conference will bring together researchers who share an interest in sensory modes of approaching the past and will cross boundaries between chronological periods, geographical regions, and material specializations.
Potential themes to be covered at the conference include the presentation of new results of sensory archaeological projects; multisensory and synesthetic aspects of the production and consumption of material culture; the recognition of sensory hierarchies in past societies; embodied practices, including memory; and the dissemination of sensuous pasts in the present. Early career scholars are encouraged to apply. Papers presented at the conference are eligible for inclusion in a peer-reviewed volume, published in the Occasional Papers series of the Center for Archaeological Investigations, SIUC.
