On Cognition and the Digital in the Study of Ancient Textual Artefacts
ALL WELCOME
Scholars studying Ancient Textual Artefacts endeavour to create
knowledge through the decipherment, transcription, transliteration,
edition, commentary, and contextualization of textual artefacts, thereby
transforming data and information into knowledge and meaning. Their
task is hence intrinsically interpretative, and relies heavily on the
mobilization of both perceptual and conceptual cognitive processes. This
talk will present a number of conceptual and perceptual processes that
were identified through ethnographic studies of scholars at work and
linked to the cognitive sciences literature. Some show embodied
cognition at work, others show the role of unconscious knowledge in the
act of interpretation of Ancient Textual Artefacts.
The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
