>Call for Papers: Episodes of imitazione: The Exploitation of Models in
>Renaissance Art
>Date posted: 2 February 2004
>
>Imitazione, or the inventive appropriation of models, was an integral
>component of Renaissance creative practice. Rather than being seen as
>derivative, this practice was interpreted by Renaissance artists and
>audiences as a learned and sophisticated means of placing a work of art
>within a selected tradition. "Episodes of imitazione" invites papers that
>address how artists used this form of imitation to invoke and surpass a
>canonical model rather than to copy it. The session will address the
>current reassessment of late Renaissance or "Mannerist" art as a
>contiguous part of the Renaissance instead of as a later phase that was
>overly referential and devoid of originality. To that end, we welcome
>papers demonstrating that this phenomenon was practiced in different media
>(literature and music as well as the visual arts), geographic locations
>(northern and southern Europe), and time periods (1300-1700). And while
>imitazione is most often identified in cases involving the use of
>classical models (or the imitation of a fellow artist's use of these), we
>welcome papers that address the artist's use of other traditions, such as
>Early Christian, Medieval, or non-western.
