History of Italian Art, Then and Now.

CONTACT: Anne Derbes, Hood College, and Julia Miller, California State 
University, Long Beach; mail to [log in to unmask] and [log in to unmask]

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.
