"Virtual Materiality"
Among the dozens of “turns” traveled by scholars in recent decades, the material turn has
been prominent. In simplest terms, this turn seeks to bring the artifacts of material
culture, say the discoveries of archaeologists and art historians into the realms of
discourse typically dominated by those who focus on texts, on documents, on written
evidence. What I try to do in this talk is to excavate material from written texts in
instances where the physical objects no longer survive. To some extent my approach
suggests alternative ways to think about what we read but I also think that tending
carefully to descriptions of what no longer exists can actually expand the totality of the
material record. I draw on a wide array of sources including poetry, histories, and
biographies, among others.
