The international summer school Sensory heritages & sensitive memories in the Balkans (1-5 July, Sofia and Plovdiv) gathers lecturers and students in different disciplines, addressing heritage and memory issues in the Balkan societies through the senses, sensoriality, sensibility, sensitivity. It articulates methodological and theoretical proposals based on concrete case studies and mobilizing senses not only as an object of study, but also as a modality of knowledge (including the use of different media). It will enhance innovative working formats and activities favoring shared experiences, reflections and discussions, beyond disciplinary boundaries and specializations. In situ sensory proposals and non-conventional approaches are encouraged, as well as concrete outputs at individual and collective levels.
