Call for Papers
Conflict and the Senses is the fifth in the IWM and University of Bristol conference series on Materialities and Cultural Memory of Twentieth Century Conflict.
The conference acknowledges the recent increase of interdisciplinary interest in the role of the senses in human experience and cultural representation (smell, touch, sound). As modern conflict invokes the extremes of human behaviour, its relationship with diverse and multivalent sensorial dimensions suggests itself to be of critical importance in our understanding of conflict in the recent past and the present.
The aim of the conferences is to offer an intellectual centre of gravity for a wide variety of scholars who specialise in different aspects of twentieth and twenty-first century conflict, but whose work centres on some aspect of materiality.
The conference will comprise the speakers themselves and an invited peer audience.
