Rethinking Objects

Anna ends with a diagram of the state of her head right now with regards to these questions!

When reproducing c18th title pages and broadsheets the vivid and physical realities of lack of paper space and errors come to the forefront

Lizzy Holling from @thinicepress alongside @conversiontales @CarlaInCologne is kicking off our opening keynote of day 2!

Randazzo stresses that Chinese culture was present in early modern Sicilian culture - but likely such commissions from craftsmen were marginal and unique

MR puts forward several theories as to why this might have happened. A marketing strategy? Artistic expression? Or, which Randazzo says is most likely, a niche local demand, such as a customer's private interest and commission?

Instead...how about #sharesomethingugly, #sharesomethingputrid, #sharesomethingunwanted, #sharesomethingbroken - though these can be twisted to project a context such as provenance on the object, even a form of 'fake news' >>

@reeve949 turns to her focus on the parish church in Royston, S. Yorkshire, where records remain today covering church purchases. Some objects, such as communion cups and the rebuilding of the walls & steeples, took years to replace. This state of decay was even taken to court

One of the easiest formats you can use is the same one used by the original zine-makers...

It contains lots of tiny leaflets teaching us how zines first came to be made, how we can make them and why they are useful for academics' public engagement.

@MxComan has even thought of making a zine about how to make zines:

Next @rachel_delman is speaking on the curiosity that is Trinity College Kirk. A rare pre-Reformation Scottish architecture that was originally built under the patronage of Mary of Guelders (c1434-63) but dismantled in c19th

And on the back there's a narrative of Jonah's greyhound's journey from the puppy mill to the race track, then rescued, put into foster care and finally adopted by Jonah in December 2016.

It's tiny but folds out to deliver so much information!

For anyone who is wondering what a zine looks like, here's one that @MxComan made about his greyhound!

Sneak peak at @MxComan’s Zine workshop taking place after lunch! #rethinkingobjects

Thanks to our fantastic Hybridity, Readers, and Makers panel for three such insightful and compatible papers! #rethinkingobjects

Andrzej Krauze's 1989 poster for 'As You Like It' depicts a blurring of boundaries between human and non-human surfaces.
