Further information: This study day is part of the Street Life and
Street Culture: Between Early Modern Europe and the Present network,
funded by the AHRC as part of the Beyond Text project. This study day
will consider themes to do with the senses of sight and sound as they
impinge upon and inform the public space of the street.
The Street Life and Street Culture network has set out to build an
international team of scholars with shared research interests in the
interdisciplinary study of urban culture; in particular the relationship
between the built environment and the social fabric of Early Modern
cities. By entering into a dynamic discourse with specialists from
non-historical disciplines, we are pursuing the potential for
‘experiential’ studies of street life, in a two-way discussion linking
the historic past to the present.
