Material Cultures C.1300-1900

This module uses material culture as a lens through which to explore diverse themes within British and European cultural history from the medieval to the modern. Personal identities, politics, and beliefs were all crucial to peoples’ lives during this period, but buildings, clothes, food and objects were how they experienced and crafted these concepts for themselves on a daily basis. As such, this module examines the links between the conceptual and the material as you explore objects in different contexts, including royal palaces, holy sites, religious houses and everyday domestic interiors, and to examine objects as carriers of meaning and agency.
