Workshop Cairo 2016: Mechanisms and frameworks of transmission

“Mechanisms and frameworks of transmission”: Cairo, IFAO (Institut français d’archéologie orientale), 20-22 November 2016

 

Outline of the 2nd Dyntran Workshop:

The second workshop of the DYNTRAN Project built upon various issues raised during the project’s inaugural workshop in Marburg (26-29 November 2015). Among the themes that emerged were the questions: “How does transmission occur?” and “What is being transmitted?” DYNTRAN’s second general workshop saught to answer the question of “how?” in hoping to expand upon these questions. To that end, panels were organized in such a way as to illuminate issues related to the mechanisms and frameworks of transmission.

Workshop coordination: Nicolas Michel, Albrecht Fuess and Anthony Quickel

Logistics in Cairo (IFAO): Anthony Quickel
