ONLINE WORKSHOP: Soundscapes in the Early Modern World: ‘Sound Affects II’
Soundscapes in the early modern world
Welcome to ‘Soundscapes in the Early Modern World’, an AHRC-funded international research network that examines how sonic interaction shaped identities c. 1500-1800. It aims to develop new approaches to hearing the sounds of the early modern world, reflect on how we engage with historical soundscapes, and consider the multifaceted relationship between meaning and hearing.
The network will extend understanding of the contexts and spaces in which sounds were heard. We are interested in how sounds shaped the lives of people and their communities, and also with the conceptual issues associated with studying past soundscapes.
The final workshop, 'Sound Affects II', will take place via Zoom on Thursday 8 and Friday 9 April 2021. The programme is available here: https://emsoundscapes.co.uk/workshops/sound-affects-ii/
Free to attend and open to all, but please register in advance: https://forms.gle/9Dcrjpm9sBArpDDj6
