Body, Corporeality and Identity
A One-day Postgraduate, Multidisciplinary Workshop
With Keynote Speaker PROF. CHRIS SHILLING (Kent University)
Durham University
Saturday 19th May 2012, 9.30 – 4.00pm
At Durham University, workshops have explored human sensory experience and engagement with the material world, audiences and corporeal displays and what it is to be human. Continuing this innovation and momentum, this workshop builds on the wider international debate on Body Theory and creates a multidisciplinary, environment for postgraduates and early career researchers to discuss crucial themes in the study of the body. This workshop aims to bring together postgraduates from disciplines across the Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences (anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion and sociology) and discuss their material and theoretical approach to the study of the human body.
