Coming Soon! Workshop: Image, Object, Text. Bern, April 19 and 20, 2018.

IMAGE, OBJECT, TEXT.
Visuality, Materiality, and Knowledge Production
since the 16th Century

University of Bern, April 19 and 20.

Over the past decades, art historians and historians of sciences have increasingly focused their attention on epistemic images in different scientific areas. The aim of this interdisciplinary workshop is to examine practices of knowledge production since the 16th century, by focusing on their visuality and materiality. Our goal is to investigate how images, objects, and texts interact, and how these interplays shape the disciplines of art history and anthropology, among others.

Organisation: Prof. Dr. Noémie Etienne, Dr. Sara Petrella, MA Claire Brizon

The keynote, roundtable, and book launch are open to the public. The doctoral session, working group and museum visit are upon registration.
