The TransPositions Summer School 2017: Sensible Objects, Material Engagement, 
Skilled Expertise will be held from Monday 21 August through Friday 25 August 
2017 in the Woudschoten Hotel & Conference Centre near Utrecht, The 
Netherlands. This edition of the TransPositions Summer School focusses on 
material culture and the senses. How can we investigate sensory experiences of 
past material cultures or cultures that are not our own? And how can we 
reconstruct in our studies the experiential richness of ephemera and material 
practices "lost in transmission" or only preserved in textual sources? The 
summer school approaches these questions across different disciplines including 
art history, archaeology, anthropology, conservation, musicology, performance 
and media studies, cognitive science, and religion- and science studies. We 
invite doctoral and postdoctoral researchers from the humanities, the social 
sciences, and related disciplines with a strong interest in material culture 
and sensory experiences to apply via e-mail to j.brigge...@uu.nl.
 
Keynote speakers (confirmed):
Ulinka Rublack (Faculty of History, Cambridge University)
Lambros Malafouris (Kebble College and Institute of Archaeology, Oxford 
University)
Rachel Prentice (Dept. of Science and Technology Studies, Cornell University)
Shigehisa Kuriyama (Dept. of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard 
University)
 
We would be most grateful if you could circulate the CfA among your contacts.
 
Many thanks and best wishes, on behalf of the organizing committee,
Jenny Boulboullé and Jill Briggeman
