Between text and materiality

• Department of History

The EUI Visual and Material History Working Group is collaborating with the Intellectual History Working Group to host a two-hour seminar with three exciting avenues into book history.

We ask what a focus on the practices involved in making, moving and reading books brings to the field of book history. Our aim is to think about how to approach differently some of book history’s historiographical and conceptual trends. Through the study of books interests in material and visual culture studies and intellectual history converge bringing forth fascinating and important synergies to expand the study of books in the past. 

Our speakers include Jacob Baxter (University of St Andrews), Professor Veronika Capská (Charles University), Dr Mercedes Cerón (University of Salamanca) with comments by Professor Kim Christian Priemel (University of Oslo).
