Ford Lectures 2022 - The Deaths of Dogs and the Lives of Dedicated Ritual Spaces
11th February 2022, 5:00 pm
Dogs were not only good to think with in the Roman period or to deploy when meditating on, performing, or normalizing Roman society’s stark inequalities. They were also central participants in acts undertaken to mediate between the everyday and the uncanny. In this lecture we explore their roles in engaging with the divine at temples, shrines, and in cemeteries.
This lecture will take place online. Please see the History Faculty website for further information.
