Dear Naomi.
Sounds fascinating, as ever-- I especially like the idea of
a little book of papers in advance of the Conference, and the
grouping on the basis of them. What sort of length are you
thinking of-- as opposed to a 'proposal' of a paper or an
'abstract' of a paper?
Have been very busy with launches of Newton volumes
at Wren Library (Trinity), Blake launches, colloquium and
private view of Blake exhibition at Tate Britain, then--alas,
on a different note, the unexpected death of my brother,
whom we were to visit in October in the States.
But I still hope we *you and I) can meet in November as
planned (or prophesied).
Love,
Elinor

> PROPOSALS ON ANY OF THE FOLLOWING – OR ALLIED – TOPICS ARE WELCOME:

> v Creative work as a source of cultural, social, psychological and

>
> v Interpreting art works as cultural, political or pedagogical products;
>
> v Rethinking the role of art and the artist in society;
>
> v Art in multicultural and multilingual contexts (the questions of
> translation, cross-cultural understanding, multicultural conviviality,
> etc.);
>
> v The subjectivity and reliability of claims in artistic research;
>
> v The relevance of artistic research for developing skills for cultural
> literacy and the potential of cultural literacy to inform artistic research;
>
> v The relationship between the artistic work, the critical text and the
> viewer/ reader/experiencer;
>
> v Objects of high culture and popular culture (for example, novels,
> poetry books, graphic novels, performances, events, films, memes, tweets,
> blogs, comic strips, tabloids, computer games, advertisements among others)
