University of Nottingham, 1-4 April 2004
Academic Session: New Historiographies of Irish Art: Theoretical innovations and re–readings
Call for Papers Session Abstract:
The need to scrutinise the selective operations of the traditional institutions of art history are acknowledged. Critical historiographies developed from the ‘new art history’, political, post–colonial and
interdisciplinary approaches are increasingly being brought to an arena of scholarship on Irish art and art history, yielding innovative new
interpretations and constructing vital contexts. This session will be a platform for critical analyses currently used to articulate and examine Irish visual art, visual culture and its institutions and histories. How does
current scholarship examine discourses of art history and theorise works from contemporary and earlier periods in the history of art and visual culture of Ireland? Can museums and galleries be witnessed to engage with and practice self–reflexive modes of display, collection, curatorship and representation?
Are inter–disciplinary approaches providing the means to address art history’s discourses of canon formation and to adequately theorise works of art?
To consider these questions and more, we welcome contributors on the historiography and critical theorization of Irish visual art and visual culture, including feminist readings and approaches, anthropological and materialist articulations, social histories, postcolonial and postmodernist inflections.
