05.–07. DECEMBER 2019
International Conference
Material Cultures of Mining
From 5th to 7th December 2019 the Montanhistorische Dokumentationszentrum (montan.dok) will be hosting the “Materielle Kulturen des Bergbaus | Material Cultures of Mining” international conference at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum
The mission of this conference is to methodically reflect on new approaches to Material Culture Studies and apply these to the recent history of mining.
Chaired panels featuring national and international speakers will engage with a range of object categories: objects of knowledge (natural resources and models), technical objects, everyday objects from various periods, objects of memory in the light of the “museumisation” aspect, and based on case studies taken from the museum management practice. Talks will be delivered in German or English.
Aside from mining historians, we are also particularly seeking to attract historians of technology and science as well as contemporary historians, museologists and archaeologists as well as representatives of mining collections.
The conference is organised as part of the “montan.dok 21. Archival appraisal, consulting expertise and central service provider for German mining heritage” Project. Project and conference are funded by the RAG-Stiftung.
