Durham University organises a two-day symposium for postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers exploring the visual, material and representational cultures surrounding the inner depths and outer surfaces of the human body, c.1400-c.1800.

Possible topics might include (but are not limited to):

- Dissection, the medical ’gaze’ and medical illustration

- Corporeality and the flesh in the visual, written and performing arts

- The body in religious iconography, hagiography and religious performance

- Gesture, kinesics and the expression of emotions

- Corporal punishment and bodily shaming

- Clothing, garments and cosmetics, and their significance

For more details, visit the symposium website or contact us at body.ondisplay@durham.ac.uk

The event will take place in Durham University (6-7 July 2010)
