the practical matter of cultural history [15-18/9/10]
This autumn school introduces research approaches to cultural history. This four day programme of seminars, lectures and workshops is co-organised with the UCD Humanities Institute of Ireland and provides researchers with an introduction to methods and concepts for the study of materiality in cultural history through a combination of theoretical overviews and case study treatments of key examples from diverse cultural historical practices. Key concepts introduced will include: cultural historiography; materiality; material culture; discourse; the 'everyday' and 'history from below'. The School provides an opportunity to discuss the methods and concepts available within the study of material culture while also considering the broader challenges of critical interdisciplinary historical work.
