Time for #CLAS2010 tweet-thread number 5! Last week we looked at the three predominant racial theories in antiquity - environmental, genetic, and cultural. This week, we are continuing our investigation into race and ethnicity in the ancient world by focusing on skin colour...
In order to investigate the perception of skin colour in antiquity, the class was structured around three key areas: 1) the terminology of colour; 2) polychromy in ancient art; and 3) representations of diversity in ancient art and modern media #CLAS2010
The class discussion was centred on a series of articles - so today I want to share those articles with you and some of the discussions we had in response (I easily could have spread this topic out over two weeks because we all had SO much to say!) #CLAS2010
