| Long abstract | In creating and studying the South Station Hoard, we set out to examine perceptions and memories of the frequently violent act of treasure taking. Comparing tween girls and their nuanced tactics of surveillance and bullying to those same skills of medieval warriors allowed us to create an intimate circular relationship between precious objects and both their owners and their takers. This relationship is important but so were our own processes of research, object interrogation, visualization and writing. Ultimately, while studying the past and speculating about the future, we found our own voices. Scholarly. Creative. Brave. |
