CALL FOR PAPERS - PLEASE CIRCULATE
Articulating meanings in late medieval and early modern interiors
A session at Articulations, the 29th Annual Conference of the Association
of Art Historians, Birkbeck and University College London, Thursday
10-Sunday 13 April 2003
The acts of building, decorating, furnishing, using and representing
interiors are laden with meanings, implied or explicit. These meanings can
inform us about the interiors' creators, owners and users; about political,
social and familial aspirations and attitudes; and about the reciprocal
relationships between people and interiors.
This session will explore the methods which people used to articulate some
of these meanings through their relationships with the interiors they
owned, used or represented. Concentrating on the visual and material
cultures of Europe c.1300-c.1600, we invite papers on interiors of all
social levels, from the grandest palace to the meanest hovel. We
particularly welcome contributions on interiors from Northern and Eastern
Europe, and papers which address use as much as creation, decoration,
furnishing or representation.
To propose a paper, please send a 150 to 200-word abstract and a brief
(e.g. 1-page) CV, to arrive by 1 November 2002, to either of the convenors:
