OnlineTRANSMISSION
This event will be live broadcasted on this page and will be held in English, without simultaneous interpretation.
The workshop Objects in Text and Text on Objects will investigate the relationships between objects and writing, exploring, on one side, the characteristics and peculiarities of text-bearing objects and, on the other side, the different kinds of texts containing lists or descriptions of objects.
The focus will be on moving and connecting objects and texts that cross, interact, and often relocate within the Mediterranean in the Early Modern Period. This workshop will also explore how the relationships between objects, writing and their movements, can be connected to the expression of human emotions.
Organised within the framework of the Cost Action PiMo – People in Motion: Entangled Histories of Displacement Across the Mediterranean (1492-1923).
