26.05. - 27.05.2026 Workshop: The Matter of Time. Time and Materiality in Historical Research
On 26 and 27 May, a second workshop with Wesleyan University will take place in Bielefeld. It focuses on how materiality and time are inextricably bound up in historical research processes. It also examines the way in which material objects generate, shape and convey historical time – and how temporal arguments often depend on unspoken assumptions about materiality. The workshop programme combines theoretical reflections on material resources with forms of temporal argumentation and recent material-oriented historiographical theories. The goal is to establish a shared analytical field that allows for new horizons in historical research and theory development.
