My first book project brings the art history of an ancient Mesopotamian site into the present by constructing what I call a “site-world:” the totality of the multi-temporal networks of material encounters, discussed not in isolation but as embedded in an understanding of the mutual constitution of past and present, and of object and subject. Through a critical engagement with non-linear models of temporality, a site-world encompasses not only the physical site of Tello and its material remains but also the variety of discourses that have grown out of them over millennia.
