The Materiality of Interpretive 3D Models
Tuesday May 7, 2024 at 16:00-17:15 BST
Speaker: Orly Lewis (Hebrew University Jerusalem)

The application of 3D modelling in the humanities is steadily growing.
This includes the design and creation of digital 3D interpretive
representations of objects described in historical texts but for which
we have partial or no direct visual or material evidence. Once created,
the digital models can be viewed, manipulated and studied by scholars
and students, and even printed to become a physical object. But what
kind of sources are these 3D digital or printed models - are they
material sources? Are they “secondary sources” similar to a research
article or a commentary? And how can one reflect interpretive decisions
in a 3D model?

This talk will engage with these questions through the case of 3D models
of ancient anatomical ideas. I will discuss the work of project ATLOMY
on the history of anatomy and explain the process of creating such
models based on textual and non-textual sources. I will then consider
how 3D models can be used in further research, possible caveats and how
these can be addressed in the production process.

The Spring 2024 Material Digital Humanities seminar is organised by
Gabriel Bodard, Shawn Graham and Rada Varga and co-hosted by the Digital
Humanities Research Hub, University of London, UK; Department of
History, Carleton University, Canada; Star-UBB Institute of Advanced
Studies, University Babeș-Bolyai, Cluj Napoca, Romania.

This seminar series will present a range of discussions around
materiality and the research possibilities offered by digital methods
and approaches. More than just the value of digitization and
computational research to the study of material culture, we are
especially interested in theoretical and digital approaches to the
question of materiality itself. We do not restrict ourselves to any
period of history or academic discipline, but want to encourage
interdisciplinarity and collaborative work, and the valuable exchange of
ideas enabled by cross-pollination of languages, areas of history,
geography and cultures.


All welcome

This event is *free to attend,* but booking is required. It will be held
online with *details about how to join the virtual event being
circulated via email to registered attendees 24 hours in advance*.
