AAH2015
AAH Annual Conference and Bookfair
Thursday 16 April – Saturday 18 April 2015
SIFA, University of East Anglia, Norwich
Call for Sessions
AAH2015 will highlight the breadth, diversity and vitality of
art-historical scholarship today.
Founded in 1965, the Department of Art History and World Art Studies is
a member of the Sainsbury Institute for Art at the University of East
Anglia. The Department has become known for its commitment to
geographical and historical inclusivity, and to collaborative and
cross-disciplinary scholarship.
This international conference aims to showcase new research in histories
and theories of visual art forms and media, of any period and type
(including architecture and design).
We therefore invite proposals for academic sessions which engage with
current scholarship, and foster discussion and debate, on any aspect of
the visual arts from prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the
Renaissance, the early modern and modern periods, through to the present
day.
We particularly welcome proposals for sessions which are:
• focused on a specific period and/or culture, and concerned with
interrogating an issue or theme which is significant to current or
emergent scholarship in that field, or
• concerned to explore an artistic or art-historical issue or theme
across several or all periods and/or cultures, in an inclusive manner
• characterized by cross-disciplinarity or which engage with the
possibilities and/or limits of cross-disciplinarity for art history, or
• explicitly engaged with theoretical, historiographical, methodological
and political issues (especially in their relevance to the study of art
across periods and/or cultures)
• intended to be intellectually exploratory, provisional, open-ended or
noncompliant
Flexible format
Sessions typically consist of up to eight 30 minute academic papers,
given in 40 minute slots on one day.
However, the conference timetable is flexible enough to accommodate
variations in this format. Shorter sessions (addressing a focused topic
over half a day) or longer ones (engaging with an issue or theme of
broad relevance across the discipline, over two days) may be proposed.
We also welcome proposals for sessions consisting of, or involving,
round tables, open discussions or other alternative formats to the 30
minute paper.
Please give an indication of your preferred session format on the form.
Submission of Session Proposals
Session proposals should include a title and abstract (no longer than
250 words), and the name(s) and contact details of the session convenor(s).
Deadline for session proposals (to be submitted to the convenors): 21
April 2014
Session abstracts and a call for papers will be published in the June
and October Bulletin in 2014
