How have specialists in Italian visual culture, c. 1200-1600, been
shaped by the interests, approaches, assumptions and ideologies of
previous generations of scholarship in America? What do we retain,
consciously or unconsciously, from our mentors in the field, and what is
its value or relevance today? To what extent have we moved beyond our
training? We invite submissions that look critically at these
historiographic issues, focusing on the state of the discipline today
and its indebtedness to, or independence from, scholars such as Millard
Meiss, Frederick Hartt, Howard Davis, S. J. Freedberg, and Richard
Offner. Participants are encouraged to present new research while
considering how current approaches draw from, and react to, those
popular in the recent past; what we've gained, along with what we might
have lost.
The deadline for submissions is May 13, 2006.
