Call for Papers MIRRORS: USE, FORM AND DECORATION Third World Art Symposium: 7 February 2004 The School of World Art Studies and Museology at the University of East Anglia invites papers for its annual symposium. The theme of this year is the mirror. Mirrors have various uses, contexts, forms and decorations. But mirrors also figure in myths, literature and imagery. We find mirrors - both actual and imaginary - across the world and in different cultures, such as those of Classical Antiquity, Asia, Egypt, the great Andean civilisations, and Iron Age, Medieval and early modern Europe. You will find several in your own house. The aim of the symposium is to explore the roles played by mirrors in past and present human societies. Papers are invited from postgraduate students as well as from established academics. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length. Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words before 15 October 2003 to Margit Thøfner (e-mail: [log in to unmask]; postal address: School of World Art Studies and Museology, University of East Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ).
