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.
