Call for papers
This conference aims to open new dialogues on Iberian art and
architecture from the decade that saw the Aragonese conquest of
Southern Italy (1443) and the establishment of the first Portuguese
trading station on the African island of Arguim (1449) to that of the
separation of the Portuguese and the Spanish crowns (1640).
Art historical scholarship on Spanish Naples, Hapsburg Netherlands, New
Spain or Peru, like that on Portugal and on the former Portuguese
possessions, has largely remained local. We therefore invite proposals
for papers that would discuss artistic dynamics in or between at least
two zones of the Iberian atlas (Portugal, Brazil, Flanders, Spain, Goa,
Macao, Milan, Naples, Peru, the Philippines, Sicily, Sierra Leone,
etc.). Themes may include the movement, reinstallation, and
reinterpretation of images and objects; the materials of art making and
their changing (or unchanging) meaning; printed and other reproductions
and their relationship to new originals; the reinterpretation of
architectural models in response to differing landscapes, labor
conditions, technologies, and functional requirements; the travel of
artists, patrons, and viewers; competing religious, political,
intellectual, or patronage networks (Jesuits vs Franciscans, traders vs
missionaries, Portuguese vs Dutch, etc.); the literature of art and its
forms across space. Especially welcome are proposals that address both
specific works and methodological questions.
Please send proposals by September, 25th, 2011 to:
mc3371@columbia.edu and ar2701@columbia.edu
Accepted papers will receive funding for travel to NYC.
