Durham University organises a two-day symposium for postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers exploring the visual, material and representational cultures surrounding the inner depths and outer surfaces of the human body, c.1400-c.1800.
Possible topics might include (but are not limited to):
– Dissection, the medical ’gaze’ and medical illustration
– Corporeality and the flesh in the visual, written and performing arts
– The body in religious iconography, hagiography and religious performance
– Gesture, kinesics and the expression of emotions
– Corporal punishment and bodily shaming
– Clothing, garments and cosmetics, and their significance
For more details, visit the symposium website or contact us at body.ondisplay@durham.ac.uk
The event will take place in Durham University (6-7 July 2010)
