Call for Papers | Obscurités | Darkness, Perspective, n° 2023 – 1

November 1, 2021Call for Papers

The journal Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art will devote its n ° 2023 – 1 to the question of obscurity in its multiple meanings – shadow, darkness, non-knowledge, negativity . A discipline based on the study of the visible, art history is necessarily interested in what is brought to light and can be seen. However, the opposition between light and shadow, in its physical evidence as well as in its symbolic scope, structures human thought to a large extent. Many primordial myths associate the appearance of light and the banishment of darkness with the evolution of life and societies. Likewise, subsequent developments in philosophy and […]

Call for papers │ Graphic Landscape │ The British Library

June 14, 2021Call for Papers

GRAPHIC LANDSCAPE THE LANDSCAPE PRINT SERIES IN BRITAIN, c. 1775–1850 The Paul Mellon Centre and the British Library 2–11 November 2021 Landscape and topographical print series proliferated in the late eighteenth century and in the first decades of the nineteenth century. Indeed, the format seems to have enjoyed an artistic and commercial boom in this period. The British Museum, the British Library and the Yale Center for British Art hold rich collections of such series, in various formats. Some, like Turner’s Liber Studiorum (1807–19) and Constable’s English Landscape Scenery (1830–33) are extremely well known. Many others, however, have still to receive sustained and critical […]

Call for Papers │ Conference Utopias of (Non)Knowledge: The Museum as a Research Hub

June 14, 2021Call for Papers

Jacques Rancière connects the notion of knowledge with that of ignorance: a person who knows must be aware that they do not know. Rancière’s theory of an ‘ignorant teacher’ problematizes the hierarchical regime of the one-way transfer of knowledge from teacher to student. By criticizing the neoliberal production and commodification of knowledge in this way, he reminds us that the purpose of democracy is to attain equality, and in particular the equality of knowledge. What he offers instead can be described as a modernist model of a ‘knowledge utopia,’ where all citizens are equal and therefore equally involved in practices of (not) knowing. […]

Call for papers | Perspective, n ° 2022 – 2 TELL | INHA

June 6, 2021Call for Papers

The journal Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art will devote its n ° 2022 – 2 to the question of the relations between narration, art and art history . Whether it is a question of the stories on which the images and works of art are based, of those that (for themselves) constitute his viewers, or of the “narratives” carried out by historians of art, this issue intends to seize the act of telling as a heuristic tool as fruitful as it is destabilizing. The image and the art object tell, even in the absence of figurative diegetic content, if only as witnesses of an era or […]

Call for Papers | Perspective, n ° 2022 – 1 TRANSPORTS

April 23, 2021Call for Papers

The journal Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art will devote its n ° 2022 – 1 to the question of the transport of objects and works of art If the study of the transport of heritage goods has given rise to a substantial specialized literature and remains a major issue for the institutions that preserve them, a historiography of the development and standardization of its practices remains to be considered. Conversely, the history of art, in which the phenomena of artistic circulation and transfers constitute a well-established field of research, too often neglects the most pragmatic aspects of the physical transport of objects. In addition […]

Expressions of interest | Informal, interdisciplinary works in progress seminar | The Australian Magazine as Material Object and Social Network

March 12, 2021Call for Papers, Events

The Australian Magazine as Material Object and Social Network Deadline for EOIs: Friday 26 March 2021 Proposed date of seminar: Mid-July (dates TBC) We are interested to hear about the ways others are using Australian magazines in their research. With many of today’s magazines going out of business, and as historical magazines are increasingly being digitised, many scholars are looking into Australia’s vast magazine history, from the Port Phillip Magazine of 1843 to the latest inner city hipster publications. We’d like to hear how others across humanities disciplines are thinking about the magazine as a social object. They were the […]

Call for Papers | Perspective : actualité en histoire de l’art, Habiter // Inhabiting, vol. 2021-2

December 11, 2020Call for Papers

Perspective : actualité en histoire de l’art devotes its no. 2021 – 2 to the ways in which artists, art historians, and their colleagues from neighboring disciplines examine the multiple ways in which one can inhabit or be inhabited, and take on these interrogations in a time when, across the globe, entire populations are confined to their homes. This invitation to revisit the visual and imaginary plasticity of inhabiting calls for a wide variety of approaches, both in terms of thematic and fields of study. All proposals will be studied as long as submissions remain in line with the journal’s editorial policy. Investigations into the fields of history of architecture, urbanism, landscaping, visual arts, […]
