Kommentare/ Inhalte: This seminar explores the complex, and often ambiguous, ways that identity (in its various forms) can (and cannot) be reflected in material culture. It will explore expressions of gender, social class, ethnicity, religion, tribal affiliation, and regional identities in the archaeological record, focusing on ceramics, textiles, architecture (namely housing); their spatial context; and landscape transformation. The readings and case studies will be drawn from Islamic material culture from the Eastern Mediterranean. As the course is taught in English, all participants need to have a university-level command of spoken and written English. You need access to a reliable internet connection, a computer with webcam and microphone, and a Skype account. Students have to sent a short CV and a motivation letter in English. These will be emailed to Prof Bethany Walker at bwalker@uni-bonn.de; and S Prof. Heidemann (stefan.heidemann@uni-hamburg.de). All applicants will have a brief Skype interview with the instructor to assess language proficiency, to test internet connections, and to review the use of software for logging into the course. These interviews will take place from the time of application.
