*Scribbling through history:*

*Comparative studies of graffiti from Ancient Egypt onwards*

23-25 September 2013

Egertun House, University of Oxford

/Scribbling through History/ is a three-day interdisciplinary workshop 
devoted to the relationships between graffiti, individual expression and 
social interactions, from ancient times until the present day. This 
exploratory workshop will address historical graffiti in a holistic 
manner as a specific cultural practice and as an anthropological object 
that illuminates these key aspects of human experience. By fostering 
cross-regional, diachronic and integrative approaches, the workshop will 
develop new frameworks and agenda for this research.
