Buildings and the Body is an interdisciplinary symposium exploring living and building in the medieval and early modern world.
This symposium is a response to the new found focus of medieval and early modern academics in the materiality of buildings and their social biographies.
The wide time frame considered by this symposium is aimed at encouraging a rich diversity of viewpoints for discussion, illustration and comparison and thus we welcome early medievalists’ participation through to that of scholars of the 18th century. In particular we are seeking papers which build on recent research or introduce new conceptual ways of viewing the building and its relationship to the body.
