SUMMARY:Touching the Past: the senses in negotiating transcultural material
 ity - BGSH-Master Class
DESCRIPTION:This masterclass will explore the European encounter with Asian
  objects by focusing on the senses\, and touch in particular. Asian object
 s that arrived in Europe between 1500 and 1800 caused a stir and generated
  an enthusiastic pattern of consumption\, in which luxury objects from Asi
 a became integrated into the material worlds of Europe. Asian goods became
  part of dining and display\, dress and domesticity. Much has been written
  about the transformations of the visual experience their arrival brought 
 about\, but what about the other senses: the ways in which the worlds of s
 ound and smell\, taste and touch were transformed in this period. We will 
 discuss some wider readings on the importance of the senses in the study o
 f material culture\, some theoretical materials on touch in particular\, a
 nd focus our discussion on the ways in which ‘touch’ can be used in re
 shaping our understanding the early modern European engagement with goods 
 from Asia.\\r\\nThe event will be concluded with a group lunch for which y
 ou can register via the link below.\\r\\n\\r\\nDie Anmeldung zur Teilnahme
  ist bis zum 25.08.2022 über diesen Link [https://k11331.evasys.de/evasys
