Online Activities > Online lecture - Noémie EtienneWe are happy to announce our first online activity: Conservation in Conversation. Hybridity, Entanglement, and the Material Life of Things, online lecture by Professor Noémie Etienne (University of Bern) – October 19, 2020, 10h CEST. The lecture is introduced by Professor Dominique Poulot. Watch the lecture (video kindly prepared by Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne Digital Uses Department (SUN)). How can we approach the material life of things through different time periods or continents? Is heritage hybrid by nature? In this lecture, I will consider different case studies and medias, from painting in 18th century France to sculpture in 21st century Hawaii, including a partly Japanese commode. I will argue that the notion of entanglement is a productive way to identify the physical changes and political issues at stake.
