Workshop 23.-25. June 2011
The "Making Things Speak" workshop investigates objects and their agency- how they are transformed (or not) by their uses and contexts and how they impact human lives. The past twenty-five years have seen a profieration of writing tracing social practices of exchange and consumption through the objects of material culture. This had added to an already existing body of literature in museology and art history focusing on the objects themselves, their production, and their exhibition.
Following objects around boundaries of Europe and the Middle East, the workshop brings together perspectives from museology, art and architectural history, and social history. By combining object- based and social- based approaches, the aim of this workshop is not only to explore the tension between objects as exhibited and as everyday pieces, but also to discuss how the line seperating the two is constituted, crossed, and conceived.
