"Sensing the Past: Sensory Experiences in Ancient Mesopotamia (a 4-D
Presentation)"
Co-sponsored by the AIA-Boston Society & Wellesley College Department of
Classical Studies
We are all sensing people, and the basic physical structure of our sensing
organs has not changed for many thousands of years. But how did ancient
humans perceive and experience sensory stimuli in their environment
differently than we do today? As this year’s AIA Renner Lecturer, Prof.
Thomason sets out to explore this topic for the ancient Mesopotamians in
particular. The history of the senses and explorations of sensory
experiences in the ancient world have been increasingly the focus of
scholarly research. Archaeologists, art historians and textual scholars
have tried to recreate past sensory environments and experiences by
using evidence from images, artifacts and ancient texts of all kinds. In
this lecture, Dr. Thomason, a specialist in ancient Mesopotamian material
culture, explores how ancient Mesopotamian perceptions of sensory
experiences can be compared to our own modern ones, with sometimes
surprising results.
