After two workshops on the role of manuscripts and their cognitive involvements across history, the LCE Manuscript Group organises a third workshop on text and sound in manuscript cultures.
The invited and confirmed speaker this year is Professor of Classics Bissera Pentcheva from Stanford University. She has done important and amazing research on acoustics, art and music in Byzantine culture, and will speak about her latest work.
The LCE Manuscript Group invites papers discussing the interplay between sound (in the broadest sense), word and materiality in manuscripts from various periods and cultures, in connection to production (composing/writing) and performance, meaning making and interpretation. The deadline for abstracts is September 15th.
The event is organized by Stijn Vervaet and Stefka Georgieva Eriksen. If you are interested in joining the event, or have any questions, you can contact them at: stijn.vervaet@ilos.uio.no or s.g.eriksen@iln.uio.no.
