CHAT 2017 —Heritage, Memory, Art, and Agency
3-5 November 2017
You can still register for the CHAT2017 conference!
The deadline for registration is on
October 30th 2017
CHAT 2017 —Heritage, Memory, Art, and Agency— will explore the relationship between contemporary and historical archaeology and cultural memory narratives. We will take an interdisciplinary
approach to artefacts and people, examining the agency of art, and how humans, material culture, and non-human actors interact to form identities, and to create, perpetuate, and or challenge social hierarchies, taboos, and a sense of place.
The conference will be hosted by Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture (AHM). AHM is a dynamic, interdisciplinary and transnational research school that brings
together researchers working in diverse areas including: Heritage and memory studies, Archaeology, Museum studies, Arts and Media, Conflict and Identity, Transnational and Intergenerational Memory, Digital Heritage and E-memory. The conference theme of Heritage,
Art, Memory, and Agency reflects the interdisciplinary and international nature of the research school, and the desire to discuss ways in which contemporary and historical archaeology impact modern society.
The CHAT2017 conference will enhance international cooperation and cross-disciplinary fertilisation through close contacts to ongoing related research projects/institutes. CHAT 2017
will have a plenary programme and there will be ample opportunity for poster presentations, and informal discussion and networking.
The programme is available
