italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Wolfsonian-FIU Fellowship Program
The Wolfsonian-Florida International University is a museum and research
center that promotes the examination of modern material culture. The focus
of the Wolfsonian collection is on North American and European decorative
arts, propaganda, architecture, and industrial and graphic design of the
period 1885-1945. The Wolfsonian library has approximately 50,000 rare
books, periodicals, and ephemeral items, as well as standard reference
materials.
The Wolfsonian holds the most outstanding collection of Italian Stile
Floreale furniture and decorative art outside of Italy. Equally notable is
the Wolfsonian’s collection material from the Fascist period, including
political and war propaganda (such as an archive of propaganda material
from the Italian Social Republic), aeropittura, objects relating to the
Duce cult, publications on art and rationalist architecture, and superb
collections of Futurist decorative and graphic art.
Besides material from Italy, the Wolfsonian also has extensive holdings
from the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and the Netherlands. There
are also smaller but significant collections of materials from a number of
other countries, including Austria, Czechoslovakia, France, Japan, the
former Soviet Union and Hungary.
Fellowships are intended to support full-time research, generally for a
period of three to five weeks The program is open to holders of master’s or
doctoral degrees, Ph.D. candidates, and to others who have a significant
record of professional achievement in relevant fields. Applicants are
encouraged to discuss their project with the Fellowship Coordinator prior
to submission to ensure the relevance of their proposals to the
Wolfsonian’s collection.
The application deadline is January 2, for residency during the 2007-2009
academic years.
