 Cosimo di Giovanni de’ Medici (Magnus Etruriae Dux) Archivio di Stato di Firenze Deadline: March 1, 2014
Much has been written about the institutional, economic and cultural politics of Cosimo I de’ Medici’s duchy during the nearly four decades of his rule. However, only in recent years have scholars begun to assess Cosimo I’s more personal sphere, largely thanks to work on the correspondence in the Medici Grand Ducal Archive (Mediceo del Principato), housed at the Archivio di Stato in Florence. Thousands of letters written by and about the duke paint portraits . . . → En lire plus

The Visual Production of Migration. Images, Icons, Codes
 The media coverage and debate of migration and integration is generating a continuous and swiftly growing stream of visual representations. How does migration research respond to this markedly increasing importance and contemplation of the role of images, icons and codes – the visual turn? In 2014, the Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies at the University of Osnabrueck (IMIS, www.imis.uni-osnabrueck.de) devotes a volume of its Journal (IMIS-Beiträge) to the visual aspects of migration debates. From an interdisciplinary perspective, it aims to identify the significance of visual phenomena for societal negotiations over migration. We assume that in interaction with migration phenomena, their visualisation and interpretation, images can yield agency and hence . . . → En lire plus

This conference at Cardiff Metropolitan University places a focus on the transformative potential of Berger’s work for educational practice.

International Journal of Islamic Architecture (IJIA)
Special Issue on the Conception and Use of Expertise in the Architecture of the Islamic World since 1800
Thematic volume planned for Summer 2015
Proposal submission deadline: 1 March 2014
 As traditional narratives go, the internal religiously-driven architectural production of the medieval and early modern Islamic world ended around 1800, when Europe’s impact on the Islamic world became characterized more by force than by affinity. These long-standing, yet dynamic internal forms of expertise, ranging from mathematics and geometry to the mastery of certain crafts like metalwork, tile production, and masonry, faced enormous external pressure that rid the arts of Islam of their (supposed) purity.

 The biannual journal “Horti Hesperidum” intends to devote the first issue of 2015 to “Living Images”. Literary texts can serve as a source for documenting an anthropological phenomenon during Classical Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Modern Age: images perceived as living beings, capable of talking, acting and interacting with us. Special attention will be paid to the following topics:
1 The relationship between believers and devotional images;
2 Ekphrastic descriptions of living, talking, “real” images;
3 Iconoclasm, i.e. the desire to “kill” images in each historical age.

Call for Papers: Archimaera # 6: EINFÜGEN (INSERTIONS)
 Architecture is always inserted into and dependent on a certain context. The specific place where it has been built, the immediate vicinity, the character of a part of town or a landscape leaves its mark on it. Besides that, architecture is connected to the history of a place or to historic continuities or breaks with the past that are visible in the change of styles, materials, or scale.
An important task of architecture has always been a negotiation between the new and the existing, whether dealing with single buildings or with whole districts of a city. The processes of preservation or replacement are connected to the continuation of existing structures, either by . . . → En lire plus

Calgary Interdisciplinary Symposium in German Studies:
The German Experience of World War I in Art and Culture
 The « Great War » created a deep caesura in German and Austrian life and culture. The arts and their proponents were particularly affected by it, not least because many artists fought and lost their lives in the war. Artists and intellectuals reacted both at home and on the front lines, and their experiences were reflected in a plethora of literary texts, art works, musical compositions, and other forms of artistic expression. During this anniversary year of the outbreak of the war, we are planning a symposium . . . → En lire plus

 In the age of Twitter and online communication, the perspective on radio’s role as a popular broadcasting medium – and a medium that has also served since the 1960s as a platform for artistic concepts – is changing. Acoustic signals, voice, sound, articulation, music and spatial networking are dispositifs of radiophonic transmission which – since Futurism and by way of Fluxus and Concrete (auditory) Poetry – have brought forth a great number of artistic practices.

Utopias of Abstract Art
University of Helsinki, open panel at the Fourth Biennial Conference of the European Network for Avant-garde and Modernism Studies (www.eam2014.com)
 The early pioneers of abstract art, Wassily Kandinsky, František Kupka, Kazimir Malevich, and Piet Mondrian, shared the belief that art should not serve the reproduction of visible reality but be an expression of the absolute. Fascinated by esoteric ideas, occultism, and theosophy, they viewed art, and, in particular, the abstract approach, as a medium to advance human creative evolution and lead the way into a new age of spiritual renewal. The interwar period saw a secularization of the spiritual concerns of early abstraction; artists turned to . . . → En lire plus
