Symposium and PhD course: Material Culture, Identity and Globalisation in Past and Present Societies
Several times in our past, flows of foreign techniques, discourses, objects, and people have challenged the familiar domain of the domestic residence and local community under conditions that resemble the globalization of our own time. In addition, the archaeological study of intercultural contact is deeply influenced by present-day politics, and globalization is very much an active factor in the ways archaeology is practiced today, on as well as outside the excavation field. The course has two interconnected analytical perspectives:
- a. Super-regional flows of culture represent one level of analysis, which can provide important information on the complexity of interaction and on the nature of contact.
b. Another indispensable dimension of analysis is the variability of local receptions of external culture, which may instigate material and social hybridity, fragmentation, and/or homogenization through various forms of emulative agency and/or modes of resistance.
This course invites junior researchers to present and discuss their studies of ‘cultures of contact’ in the past and/or the present – preferably in a form that can readily be transformed into a chapter in the planned dissertation. A small panel of senior scholars will be invited as advisors, discussants and lecturers.
Deadline for application: April 18th 2007
