[1] The Material Text in East Asia: Local Traditions and Intercultural Dialogue [2] Critical Data in Art Market Research
[1] The Material Text in East Asia: Local Traditions and Intercultural Dialogue From: Jeanne-Marie Musto, musto.jeannemarie@gmail.com
Date: July 6, 2021
Deadline: September 16, 2021
The Bibliographical Society of America sponsored session
The goal of this session is to explore books and other textual artifacts that have originated or been adapt- ed for use in one or more East Asian cultures. A particular focus will be the interplay between intellectual history and aesthetic appreciation. Examples include the later interpretation of inscribed ritual objects, and collecting practices devoted to the study and display of inscriptions. A variety of media will be considered, including cast bronze and engraved stone as well as print or manuscript on paper. While attending to the specificity of local traditions, the session will consider the significance of these textual artifacts in intercul- tural and historiographical perspective. Proposals for papers that examine relationships between East Asian cultures or between East Asian and other cultures will be welcomed. The geographical definition of
“East Asia” is open; textual artifacts from any period may be considered.
Send proposals (250-word maximum), a title for your presentation, and your CV to

[2] Critical Data in Art Market Research From: Max Koss, max.koss@leuphana.de Date: July 8, 2021
Deadline: September 16, 2021
TIAMSA Session 2
ArtHist.net
2/2 In recent years, the study of the art market has seen significant progress due to the increasing availability of digitized source materials, such as dealer archives and stock books, auction catalogs or exhibition databases. Similarly, a growing number of museums – under pressure to become more transparent, demo- cratic and socially responsible – have begun to research provenances and to publish the relevant data on their websites. At the same time, however, the process of making these digitized sources and the newly available data productive for use by the scholarly community and the interested public at large has lagged behind.
This panel brings together examples of data driven methodologies in the study of the art market, showcas- ing their potential for both the study of the art market proper, but also their relevance for the larger field of art historical research. We are interested in short presentations that address, amongst others, technical questions of data aggregation and compilation, standards, data analysis, and data visualization – ideally through a critical lens, thus highlighting and counter-acting historiographical biases (e.g., gender, sexuality, geography, age, etc.), especially their problematic reproduction through existing data-driven methodolo- gies. We invite contributions addressing any geographies and time periods. Team-based and/or co-au- thored papers are welcome.
This one-hour panel, which aims to foster dialogue and discussion, will be held as a CAA business meeting of the The International Art Market Studies Association (TIAMSA). Therefore, you will not require CAA memberhsip / conference registration to present at or follow this panel. We strive to make the panel as open access as possible, with the possibility of live-streaming or pre-record content. Unfortunately, TIAM- SA will not be able to provide travel support.
If you would like to propose a 10-15 minute presentation, please submit an abstract (max. 250 words), a CV (1-2 pages), as well as a statement on why your proposal is a good fit for this panel (max. 100 words).
You are also welcome to include images, though be mindful to submit them in an easily accessible format.
Early submissions are highly encouraged. Please send your submission to max.koss@leuphana.de by September 16, 2021.
Convenor: Dr Max Koss, Provenance Studies Lab, Department of Philosophy and Sciences of Art, Leupha- na University Lüneburg (Germany)
