*CFP* "REWORLDING", UPCOMING ISSUE, TBA: JOURNAL OF ART, MEDIA AND VISUAL CULTURE

tba is an annual peer-reviewed journal organized by graduate students of the Visual Arts Department at Western University in London, Ontario. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for emerging and independent artists and scholars by bringing together studio, art history, cultural studies, theory and criticism, gender studies, and related fields. It encourages experimentation and risk.

 

Reworlding

“A dark bewitched commitment to the lure of Progress (and its polar opposite) lashes us to endless infernal alternatives, as if we had no other ways to reworld, reimagine, relive, and reconnect with each other, in multispecies well-being. This explication does not excuse us from doing many important things better; quite the opposite.” 

Donna Haraway, Staying with the Trouble, 51.

*CFP* "OBSCENITY & CENSORSHIP", 34TH ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE STUDENT SYMPOSIUM

34th Annual Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Symposium

April 9 & 10, 2021 Virtual Conference

The "Obscenity & Censorship" Conference

 

A word, or a phrase or a work of art deemed obscene for not following the moral structures and sensibilities of a particular period is a tale as old as time. Yet, we as humans often take these judgments at face value, attributing it to the dominant culture at hand and uttering it?s just the way things are. If we turn a more critical eye to these works that were not only accused of being obscene, but also underwent a trial to validate that judgment, it bears asking: who or what has the authority to deem a work of art as such. Who or what determines that an exposed breast in a painting by Rosso Fiorentino is less obscene than a paragraph of libertine literature penned by the Marquis de Sade or than a cinematographic shot of male genitalia in the Decameron?

*CFP* "AFTER DOUGLAS CRIMP", ISSUE 33, INVISIBLE CULTURE: AN ELECTRONIC JOURNAL FOR VISUAL CULTURE

For its thirty-third issue, InVisible Culture invites scholarly articles and creative works that engage with the legacy of Douglas Crimp (1944-2019). Douglas was foundational to InVisible Culture and its institutional home, the Graduate Program in Visual and Cultural Studies at the University of Rochester. The first issue of InVisible Culture included his essay “Getting the Warhol We Deserve,” in which Douglas used Warhol’s gayness as an interpretative hinge while also advocating for the importance of cultural studies’ contributions to art criticism. Besides his profound influence on art scholarship, Douglas’s pedagogy reverberates through the work of those he taught and mentored in various academic and art institutions. We invite contributors to reflect on the myriad ways in which Douglas’s legacy impacts the pasts, presents, and futures of art history and cultural criticism.

Throughout his career, Douglas made crucial contributions to art theory, queer theory, and cultural studies. In 1977, Douglas curated the seminal exhibition Pictures at New York’s Artists Space, which established him as one of postmodern art’s major interlocutors. He continued to spur critical engagements with art institutions and postmodernism with his many essays in October and his 1993 book On the Museum’s Ruins. During the rise of the AIDS crisis, Douglas turned to what he called “cultural activism”; his writings later collected in Melancholia and Moralism (2002) helped galvanize a generation of queer activists.

*CFP* "BEYOND BORDERS: MAPPING SEXUALITIES AND THE SEXUALISATION OF SPACES", INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE


Beyond Borders: Mapping Sexualities and the Sexualisation of Spaces
International Conference 
May 6 and 7, 2021


This conference will examine the relationship between the notions of boundaries and sexuality from an interdisciplinary, transnational and transcultural perspective. In particular, it aims to map the ways in which space determines sexualities and sexual practices, and to understand, in turn, how sex structures and limits the spaces in which we live, and how we relate to them.

At a time when walls and barriers are being erected around the globe with the stated goal of containing and separating populations, it seems urgent to question how these boundaries, whether physical or symbolic, political or social, condition sexual practices and shape representations of sexuality.

*CFP* "MULTIMODAL COMICS: THE EVOLUTION OF COMICS STUDIES", CHAPTER BOOK

Multimodality is of increasing relevance to daily human life. Comics are a unique and informative site in which to study this concept, as they rely on complex interactions between word and image. This collection will bring together leading international research on this theme, developing comics theory and speaking to additional media and disciplines.

Comics have always embraced a diversity of formats, existing in complex relationships to and with other media, and been dynamic in their response to new technologies and means of distribution. This collection explores interactions between comics, other media and both established and emerging technologies, employing a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives. By focusing on key critical concepts within multimodality (transmediality, adaptation, intertextuality) and addressing multiple platforms and media (digital, analogue, music, prose, linguistics, graphics), the collection expands and develops existing comics theory and also addresses multiple other media and disciplines.

*CFP* "COLONIAL SLAVERY IN EUROPEAN MUSEUMS: ARTS AND REPRESENTATIONS", EDITED BOOK

Often at the political crossroads between state institutions and associations calling for increased emphasis on the memory, truth and colonial legacies, museal institutions that speak about slavery have historically reinforced patrimonial discourses that celebrate European abolitionists and neutralize claims to alternate memories. 

Ten years after the international colloquium “Exposer l’esclavage-méthodologies et pratiques” (Musée du Quai Branly, 11-13 May 2011), and amidst recent calls to “decolonize” museums, our collection seeks to examine the representation of colonial slave trade and slavery across European museal contexts. Our project proposes to investigate the degree to which European museums featuring the slave trade, slavery and their abolitions have responded to many of the questions raised at this colloquium by museum directors, scholars, and artists. Given the recent explosion of global protests against racialized police brutality and the desecration of statues and monuments symbolizing racism, what further changes do these museums envision?

*CFP* "PAPEROLOGY: A READING AND ACTIVITY GROUP ON KNOWING AND BEING WITH PAPER", VIRTUAL SEMINAR


The Paperology Reading and Activity Group will take place during the 2020-2021 academic year. While the most common of everyday materials, paper has received less critical attention than it deserves. The objective for this group is to engage with the emerging research and growing literature on paper as material. In working towards an expansive approach to paper, we are less invested in what is on the page than we are in the page itself (Stamm, 2018). Instead, we want to better understand the material histories, forms, practices, and possibilities of paper. 

Paper has been of interest to artists, art historians, and book historians, but it has been surprisingly under examined as media and technology from the broader perspective of fields such as media and communication studies. The recent surge of publications on paper reflects an effort to fill this gap. This includes research on paper as substrate (Dworkin, 2015; Calhoun, 2020); environmental stories of papermaking through case studies of the pulp and paper mill industry (Baxter, 2020); works interested in the phenomenologies and affective experiences of paper (Michelon, 2016; Barnes, 2017); considerations of artefacts and practices that accompany paper (Garvey, 2013; Robertson, 2019; Senchyne, 2020) —and much more.

*CFP* "(RE)THINKING EUROPE. HISTORY, LITERATURE, CULTURE, ARTS", SPECIAL ISSUE, DEDALUS: PORTUGUESE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LITERATURE JOURNAL

The idea of Europe and the place of literature and the arts in the construction of the European path have long been a central theme and the origin of ample bibliography. However, there have been rare moments of greater accuracy than this that we have gone through to rethink Europe, its roots, its tradition, its projected future. Literature, the arts, the different notions of culture that “Europe” has been weaving over time were determinant not only for the way in which, in the past, European identity was built and recognized, but also how it proposes to assert itself in the future. The urgency and the importance of this topic are therefore inevitable. In many periods, and in the last century in times of great political and cultural upheaval, it was in defense of the European spirit that many voices were raised against racist nationalisms and other forms of tyranny.

What is Europe? And what does it propose? Regarding culture, literature, and arts, what place do they take? What role do they play? What profile do they adopt? (Re)thinking Europe. History. Literature. Culture. Arts is a broad topic that certainly allows approaches from several points of views.

*CFP* “MUTATING ECOLOGIES IN CONTEMPORARY ART: MACHINIC CAPITALISM, MOLECULARIZED SELVES & SUBSISTENTIAL TERRITORIES”, IV INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 2020


28 de Abril de 2020
MACBA, Barcelona

According to psychotherapist, activist and philosopher Félix Guattari, the intensification of the dynamics of hierarchization, segregation, and exploitation that emerged with the advent of neoliberal capitalism converge with the development of a new type of fascism of planetary scale. Unlike earlier forms of authoritarian fascisms, this unprecedented biopolitical force operates within the interiority of subjects, and it aims at making sure that each individual assumes mechanisms of control, repression, and modelization of the dominant order (2009, 258). By way of a miniaturization of its logistics, machinic capitalism manages to seep into our psychic territories, intervening in the basic functioning of the perceptive, sensorial, affective, cognitive, linguistic behaviours (2009, 262). Deleuze and Guattari's procedural distinction between signifying and asignifying semiotics offer an accurate understanding of how this molecular colonization occur (1987, 9).

*CFP* “HISTORY, LITERATURE AND THE ARTS”, ISSUE, CLIO: A JOURNAL OF LITERATURE, HISTORY, AND THE PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY

Clio: A Journal of Literature, History, and the Philosophy of History, a double-blind peer-reviewed international interdisciplinary journal, publishes scholarly essays that explore the connections between history, literature, and the arts. Humans understand themselves and their cultures, even create themselves and their cultures, through stories. Sometimes we call those stories “history,” and sometimes we call them “literature.” Clio is interested in the interconnectedness of these two disciplines, as well as the philosophical work that supports these kinds of inquiries.

We publish researched essays at the intersections of these disciplines—that is, not simple expositions of historical events or uncontextualized “readings” of literary texts, but articles that are interdisciplinary in argument and method. Essays should be accessible to an interdisciplinary scholarly audience.

*CFP* “MUSEOLOGY”, FIRST ISSUE, INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MUSEUM STUDIES

The International Journal of Museum studies is born in Italy in 2020 in a moment of great theoretical vitality of Italian museology, but also of identity crisis of world museology. The birth of an Italian national museum system and the process of accreditation of museums in progress impose, beyond short-term choices, a total revision of the models of museum management sustainability, but also a rethinking of their mission and their relationship with the publics in a society in constant, even swifter change.

The magazine presents itself as a showcase of the theoretical debate in Italy in a constant comparison with the international museological reality and as an observatory of the most stimulating best practices to allow a wide-ranging debate that takes into account the local and national specificities and its interfacing with the different international realities.

*CFP* "DEL ARTE Y DE LA INDUSTRIA CINEMATOGRÁFICA", VOL. 4, Nº 2 (JULIO 2020), REVISTA ÑAWI - ARTE, DISEÑO Y COMUNICACIÓN


El cine, ya desde aquellas primeras imágenes de los Lumière que reflejaban la realidad de manera fotográfica, ha sido considerado como Arte, ubicado al mismo nivel que las pinturas paleolíticas de las cuevas de Lascaux, los cuadros de Goya en el Museo del Prado o los graffitis de Bansky en las calles de Bristol. Un “arte total” que integra la pintura, la música, la literatura, la fotografía… para crear una obra que devenga algo diferente a todo lo anterior pero que al mismo tiempo se conciba y perciba como “un todo”. Un arte que, en el siglo XXI, ha dejado de estar necesariamente vinculado a un espacio determinado, desplazándose ahora con aquel que lo contempla. Aunque, al mismo tiempo, el cine también es una industria, pues la mercancía que esta produce, las películas, son objeto de comercialización. 

La filial cinematográfica, la más visible de las industrias culturales, es el origen de importantes infraestructuras cuyo dinamismo se basa en la búsqueda y obtención de ganancias: desde la Gaumont, la compañía cinematográfica más antigua, a las Majors norteamericanas, los estudios Shochiku en Japón o las titánicas industrias indias, como Bollywood, cada una trata de conseguir su espacio de mercado a través de producciones que puedan ser susceptibles de interés para un público cada vez más numeroso cuya voluntad de evasión es cada vez más notoria. En una época en la que el giro estético sobre aspectos teóricos no hace más que confirmar y ratificar la naturaleza artística del cine, y en la que coincide además una de las mayores actividades industriales de carácter lucrativo, cabe que nos cuestionemos si el cine es ¿arte o industria?

*CFP* "THE CITY AND COMPLEXITY - LIFE, DESIGN AND COMMERCE IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT", CONFERENCE


The City and Complexity – Life, Design and Commerce in the Built Environment
Dates: 17-19th June 2020

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Jane Jacobs’ The Economy of Cities. It came a decade after her seminal work, The Death and Life of Great American Cities, and heralded a new age in thinking about the city. The city would no longer be a question of design and planning in isolation. From the early 1970s onwards, it would be seen as a complex interdisciplinary phenomenon.

The first years of the 1970s saw the introduction of a whole series of notions that would mutually inform our reading of the metropolis: social justice and the city, sustainability, defensible space, and urban centres as sites of public health. It saw the emergence of concepts such as the global city, urban economics, the post-industrial society and the cultural city. From art, design and cultural perspectives, post-modernism would critique of the whole modernist project.

*CFP* “THE OBJECT AS PROCESS. ESSAYS SITUATING ARTISTIC PRACTICE”, CHAPTER BOOK

Objective

As a research team devoted to artistic practice, we are motivated by the questions: How does artistic practice lead to the production of knowledge? How does, in turn, artistic knowledge relate to its material base? How does contingent materiality guide the artist towards finding form and developing a statement?

The proposed volume is consecrated to the object as a process in order to offer new insights into the ways the object (broadly construed, comprising digital and other non-classical objects) becomes an active element in artistic practice. This exploration intends to furnish a better understanding of artistic production.

*CFP* "'WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?' QUEER-FEMINIST DESIRES IN RESEARCHING AND WRITING ART HISTORIES", ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORY ANNUAL CONFERENCE


‘What’s love got to do with it?’ Queer-feminist desires in researching and writing art histories  
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
Organization: Association for Art History

Desire and sexuality have been widely discussed in art history in a variety of contexts: from the sexualising male gaze, exoticisation and fetishisation of non-whiteness, to explorations of the male nude in coded homoerotic argot. Looking into queer archives, feminist and queer art practices and histories pay particular attention to how desire may forge kinship and communities ‘across time and space’, and how desiring and affective modes of research and intellectual inquiry can become driving forces for uncovering silenced and overlooked narratives. Fantasy and turned-on imagination infused with tenderness and care may be considered effective modes of approaching the research subject and the responsibility for telling stories from the archive. This desiring approach grants the subject agency beyond the status of an object to be looked at and enables an affective, attentive relationship between researcher and the research subject.

*CFP* "CLIMATES OF COLONIALISM", ASSOCIATION FOR ART HISTORY ANNUAL CONFERENCE


We invite proposals from a wide range of scholars examining climates and colonialism in the (former) British Empire for the forthcoming annual conference of the Association for Art History in Newcastle, UK from April 1-3, 2020.

This session investigates how art and cultural production in the (former) British Empire has long charted the interdependent and co-constitutive logics of climate and colonialism. It welcomes scholarly analyses of historic and contemporary art and visual culture – from historic maps, topographical sketches, built environments and landscape painting, to 20th-century touristic views, earth art installations, film and video art – that consider how artistic treatments of environmental change can be located within broader histories of dispossession, extraction, and genocide. Not only was climate central to anthropological representations of racial differences in imperial ideologies – such as suppositions about which populations were ‘naturally suited’ to particular weather events, temperature ranges and climatic conditions – but colonial practices of extraction and commodification radically altered ecologies under colonial rule.
