CHINA and MATERIALITY
Workshop/Roundtable at the Needham Research Institute (Cambridge,
England)
April 30, 2008
The Needham Research Institute will hold a workshop and roundtable on
"China and Materiality" on Wednesday April 30, 2008. This event
addresses the problematic of Chinese material culture seen from the
aspects of art history, material culture studies, literature, and
socioeconomic history. Each invited speaker will provide a short
introduction to the state of the field in which she or he operates, and
raise issues and questions critical to the subject of materiality seen
from her or his current research project.
The event is free and open to the public and is designed to provide the
audience an opportunity to closely interact with the speakers. Due to
limited space, advanced registration is preferable. The provisional
