Do disciplines morph, shape-shift, redefine themselves? And what happens in
the academy when they do? The truth IS out there. Answers to these
questions (and more!) can be found at "The Discipline Formerly Known
As...."
The Visual Studies Graduate Program of the University of California, Irvine
is proud to present:
THE DISCIPLINE FORMERLY KNOWN AS...
A Graduate student conference hosted by the Visual Studies Graduate Student
Association of UCI
KEYNOTE SPEAKER: Michael Anne Holly, Professor of Visual and Cultural
Studies and Chair of the Department of Art History, University of Rochester
The Visual Studies Graduate Student Association of UCI is currently
accepting submissions for its 1999 conference, April 30- May 1. The
conference organizers are seeking scholarly work by graduate students that
is self-reflexive in its interrogation of disciplinary shifts within the
fields of Art History, Film Studies, and Visual Culture, and which moves
towards interdisciplinarity. Topics may include but are not limited to:
debates surrounding visual culture; the intersection of issues of visuality
with modernity, race, nation, gender, and/or sexuality; new and historic
technologies; East/West discourses; vision and textuality. We encourage
submissions reflecting a broad range of historical locations, areas of
study and theoretical positions.
"The Discipline Formerly Known As...." Graduate Student Conference will
open with a keynote address by Professor Michael Anne Holly on Friday,
April 30, 1999, followed by a full day of scholarly presentations by
graduate students on Saturday, May 1. The event will culminate in a special
screening at the Film and Video Center at UCI that evening. For more

Proposals of 1-2 pages for twenty minute papers should be accompanied by a
brief cover letter. Decisions will be announced in March. Please send
inquiries or abstracts to: dfka@benfranklin.hnet.uci.edu OR
