New Approaches to Piranesi (online, 16 Jul 21)
Jul 16, 2021
Deadline: Jun 16, 2021
Zoe Langer, University of South Carolina New Approaches to Piranesi: A Virtual Roundtable
We are seeking proposals for a virtual roundtable of lightning talks on interdisciplinary approach- es to the works of Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-78). Recent scholarship by Heather Hyde Minor, Carolyn Yerkes, and Susan Dixon, as well as the current bestselling novel Piranesi by Susan- na Clarke, have started to open the field of Piranesi Studies to new avenues of research and poten- tially wider audiences. This roundtable will consist of short presentations of 5-7 minutes followed by ample time for discussion. We hope the proposed format will encourage lively conversation and prompt new critical perspectives that will continue to broaden the interpretation of Piranesi’s works. We welcome topics that include but are not limited to eclecticism, globalism, reception, book history, biographical studies, cartography, collecting, translation, digital humanities, theater, fashion, music, archaeology, and the history of science. We are especially interested in hearing from graduate students, early-career scholars, and professionals engaged in a wide range of disci- plinary fields and methods.
Please send an abstract of 150 words, a brief biography, and current contact information. Submis- sions should be sent to digitalpiranesi@gmail.com by Wednesday, June 16, 2021. Decisions will be sent on Friday, June 18.
