Nineteenth-Century Scholarship (CAA New York, 19.-22.02.03)
Cordula Grewe CALL FOR PAPERS
New Directions in Nineteenth-Century Scholarship
Special Session to be held at the 91st Annual Conference of the College Art Association, New York, February 19-22, 2003. Sponsored by the Association of the Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art.
In the human sciences, the last decade witnessed what has been called the
"pictorial turn," a turn that has generated an intense interest in the study of visual culture. This cultural approach assumes that not only images and their meaning(s) are social constructions, but that vision itself is a
historically shaped phenomenon. It thus calls for the insertion of the history of art into the broader cultural context of visuality itself. This
development has posed new questions for art history, as well as underscored the importance of interdisciplinary approaches. This panel will explore the implications of art history's turn toward visual culture.
The panel will provide an opportunity for recent Ph.D. or Ph.D. candidates to present doctoral dissertation research currently underway or completed within the last two years. Papers are welcome from all areas and
theoretical perspectives that examine the problematic of visuality and visual culture in its historical and theoretical dimension.
Mail abstracts and c.v. (in hardcopy) to Cordula Grewe,
German Historical Institute, 1607 New Hampshire Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
20009-2562, USA.
Deadline: May 13, 2002.
