Description
I was part of the organizing committee of the CRASIS Annual Meeting 2014 and participated in the Master Class and the Conference. The CRASIS Annual Meeting 2014 revolved around the theme 'Cultural Knowledge in the Ancient World - Production, Circulation and Validation'. During the Master Class and the Conference the participants focused on cultural knowledge: the packages of knowledge (skills, competences, and information) that are needed to operate competently within in a particular community (group, cult, school, city, ethnos, empire ...). A broad understanding was adopted of ancient cultural knowledge that included social, legal, technical, religious, and philosophical forms of knowing. Ancient historians examined the transmission of knowledge across networks; archaeologists study the development and tradition of technical skills in material production, and technological transfer; religious knowledge was analysed from cognitive perspectives, while there was also a new emphasis on the role of the body and the senses in experiencing and generating knowledge. The CRASIS Annual Meeting aimed to bring these angles and approaches together and to develop new ones that help us understand the production, circulation, and validation of cultural knowledge in the ancient world.Period | 13-Feb-2014 → 14-Feb-2014 |
