Classics and Class (1615 - 2015)

Classics and Class (1615 - 2015) 

Classics and Class in Britain (1789-1939) is an AHRC-funded research project based at King’s College, London. Our primary aim is to present and amplify the many lost voices of British working-class men and women who engaged with ancient Greek and Roman culture throughout the period. We intend to show the richness and diversity of the responses to ancient Greece and Rome among those who are often considered to have been excluded from it. By presenting their stories now, via our growing digital archive, we also hope that their example may inspire a more inclusive atmosphere for participation in classical culture across society today, when the increasing cost of university education in Britain has made it even more urgent to explore the popular perception of Classics as an elitist subject available only to the rich and privileged.

Our perception of the historical relationship between Classics and the divisions between citizens on the criterion of social class is distorted because the crucial voices–those of the working class–have yet to be heard. An exploratory conference organised by Edith Hall which was funded and hosted by the British Academy in July 2010 revealed that this ‘exclusionist’ model is usually taken for granted, and conventionally supported by a few passages in canonical 19th-century authors such as Dickens, Eliot, and Hardy. The meeting also underlined the neglect suffered by the evidence for contact with Classics produced by working-class people themselves (autobiographies, memoirs, letters, records of recreational activities, political banners, leaflets).

Birmingham Egyptology - Virtual Museum

Birmingham Egyptology - Virtual Museum

During Spring 2013 Birmingham Egyptology discussed the topic of virtual museums at the fortnightly forum. Through this debate it was realised that no clear definition of a ‘virtual museum’ existed  and that the digital world could allow those interested in displaying objects to present their findings in new and innovative ways. There were however, no online platforms allowing research to be submitted to a virtual museum. Therefore Birmingham Egyptology decided to create this platform for those people researching objects thereby enabling them to submit their virtual exhibitions. There are only two things needed to create an online exhibition; interpretation and digitization. If you would like the chance to present your research on this platform please email for details (enquiries@birminghamegyptology.co.uk). Each virtual exhibition presented here reflects the creator’s interpretation of a virtual exhibition.

3D models are available in pdf format linked to some of the objects presented. These images are interactive and can be moved by right-clicking the cursor over the image or scrolling to zoom. Click both buttons of the mouse together to drag the image. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the files, this can be downloaded for free at http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/.If you are having trouble viewing the files please left-click and save the files to your desktop and open in Adobe Reader from there. Please note: these are 11MB files and may take some time to open - please be patient.

Open Access Journal: Iris Online

Iris Online

 

Iris was the Classical messenger goddess, darting tirelessly between worlds; the ancients often drew and wrote about her as a rainbow, or as moving on a rainbow, full of dazzling colour. The Classical world is brimful of colour – its art, stories, religions, buildings, music, thoughts and ideas – so vibrant that our world is still coloured by them to this day. The project has been named after Iris, since like her, it is a messenger between the old and the new.

Iris magazine online is The Iris Project's outreach web presence. It contains a broad and eclectic range of material, including artwork, fiction, case studies, reviews, outreach ideas and articles on a wide variety of Classical topics and authors, presented in a fresh, modern and engaging style. Submission details and back issue ordering information can be found on the site. The editors can be contacted through this site, and welcome all enquiries and responses; they are also happy to provide feedback at any stage for material.

We also now run a junior version of Iris magazine called Iota, which is a colourful and engaging termly publication designed to complement the key stage two material on the Romans and ancient Greeks.
