The Location of Knowledge

We have invited four of the world's top scholars to investigate these problems: Simon Schaffer, Peter de Bolla, Sarah Franklin & John Forrester.

Beyond the authority of the ‘text’: performance as paradigm, past and present

This conference takes place in the context of an accelerated interest in the idea of performance across many Cambridge faculties, which share a common understanding that cultural practices such as music, theatre, literature, film, painting and sculpture simultaneously exist as an object (fixed; a record) and an experience (time-bound; embodied). 

Organised by CRASSH, University of Cambridge.
