Fall 2018 Course Descriptions! MALAS 600C | Modern Technology and the Ancient World with new Classics & Humanities Post-Doc Danielle Smotherman Bennett

MALAS 600C/ HUM 580 
Modern Technology and the Ancient World

In the contemporary world, digital re-creations of sites and objects from the ancient world often appear in movies and TV, such as Ben-Hur and Game of Thrones, and in video games, such as Assassin's Creed Origins. Modern technology also provides tantalizing prospects for a deeper engagement with the material culture in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In this course, we will explore the emerging scholarship concerning digital humanities for the study of the ancient world. Geography and mapping, digital dissemination of texts, and visual reconstructions of sites and objects, including 3-D modeling will come to the fore as we learn about the ancient Mediterranean. We’ll be critical consumers of the digital tools for the study the ancient world.
