Visual Culture and Taste in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain:
July 15-16, 2004.
Centre for Visual Culture in Britain, University of Northumbria,
Newcastle
Plenary Speakers:
Carol Duncan (Ramapo College, New Jersey)
Tim Barringer (Yale University)
Call for Papers
This conference will consider taste and visual style in Britain in the
years between 1880-1914. How might historians of visual culture
conceptualise diverse trends and tendencies in the period up to the
First World War? How do we interpret complex cultural interrelations and
understand the influential networks in which people operate? How, for
example, do changing ideas about consumption in both the public and
private spheres relate to historical constructions of visual pleasure
and aesthetic experience?
Papers might examine particular subjects such as public and private art
collecting, the management of artefacts in interior spaces or issues
relating to display and the public imagination in what is seen as an age
of imperial fanfare and suburban philistinism.
The deadline for up to 300 word proposals is 31st January 2004. Please
send to:
Ysanne Holt, 'Visual Culture in Britain', University of Northumbria,
Squires Building, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST.
