The Senses and Visual Culture from Antiquity to the Renaissance, University of Bristol, June 8–9, 2015
Where does the recent sensory turn in the Arts and Humanities leave the study of Visual Culture? Can the viewer/object model incorporate the full sensorium without imposing ocularcentrism? How has vision’s relation to the other senses been expressed and explored through the visual arts from Antiquity to the Early Modern Period? How have the senses and sensory experience been represented in art before the Modern era? This conference explores the complex relationship between the visual and the sensory in contemporary theory and ancient practice.
The registration deadline is 27 May 2015.
