1st - 3rd May 2009 - Stanford Archaeology Center, Stanford University, Palo Alto CA.
The Color of Things - Debating the Role and Future of Color in Archaeology
International workshop within the Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) Conference.
Contents: According to • David Batchelor's "Chromophobia" (London, 2000.) • color, though bound up with the fate of culture has been systematically marginalized and degraded in academic studies. Color would not easily fit into current intellectual debates on social constructs, has become increasingly anti-disciplinary.
On the other hand, anthropologists, conservation specialists and archaeologists have increasingly realized that pigments and dyes constitute an integral part of the environment of both, early and modern societies, • e. g. A. Jones and G. MacGregor, "Colouring the Past: The Significance of Colour in Archaeological Research." (Oxford, 2002.) •
The workshop and subsequent edited volume will gather scholars from various academic disciplines in order to discuss the need for theoretical frameworks when integrating color in material culture studies.
How does our current thinking about color reflect and prejudice our understanding of the past and present?
Is color a useful tool to reconstruct patterns of identity, interaction and influence?
How is color detectable in the material record and how far do colors and colored artifacts materialize voices?
The workshop seeks to explore a wide range of current approaches to color, and demonstrate how results achieved through interdisciplinary research can form an integrative part of general science.
Additional information: CALL FOR PAPERS - Papers (c. 20 mins) illustrating research methodologies and considering the role of color in material culture are very welcome and are not limited to period or region.
Please send a title and abstracts (max. 400 words) by November 14th 2008 to Alexander Nagel (aleos@umich.edu), Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Organizer: Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG).
Contact: Alexander Nagel ( aleos@umich.edu ), University of Michigan, Kelsey Museum of Archaeology, 434 South State Street - Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1390.
