Deep Mapping Dialogues: Towards a Systematic Deep Mapping Approach in Archaeology and History

VeDPHLab and online

Deep mapping is increasingly recognised as a way to explore the complex relationship between people, places, and memory. Over the last ten years, humanities disciplines such as history, geography, and literary studies have tried to refine the theory behind deep mapping to develop increasingly sophisticated applications and interpretations of places (Bodhenamer, Corrigan, and Harris, 2023). At the same time, despite being involved since the early 2000s (Pearson and Shanks, 2001), archaeology has lagged behind in the discussion. The fluidity that characterises deep mapping, makes the development of a systematic methodology difficult, restricting the possible applications, particularly for disciplines that mainly adopt quantitative methods.

This workshop provides a space for dialogue across disciplines—archaeology, history, literature, epigraphy, and historiography—focusing on how deep mapping can integrate both objective data and subjective experience. Two perspectives will be highlighted: a holistic approach, capturing the spatial, temporal, and cultural dimensions of places; and an experiential approach, attentive to narratives, perceptions, and emotions.

The workshop can be attended either in person at the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities Lab, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà (Dorsoduro
3484/D, Venice), or online by registering in advance by September 17 at the following link: https://unive.zoom.us/meeting/register/2k9xpZTyT4u4qDKFhkS4fw.
