Project Description:
The project „A Dialogue of the Arts" is a long-term concept, which includes Early Modern Times to the present and this for all places,
exploring the possibilities of widening and enriching the methods of History of Art. The papers presented at these biannual conferences are
subsequently published.
Call for Papers:
„A Dialogue of the Arts: The Relationship of Exterior and Interior:
Descriptions of Architecture and Interiors in Literature of Early Modern Times to the Present"
During the earlier conferences of 2010 and 2012, which dealt with „Descriptions of Architecture in Literature of Early Modern Times to
the Present" respectively „Descriptions of Interior Design in Literature of Early Modern Times to the Present", the third conference
is devoted to the relationship of architectural interior and exterior aspects and this again relying on literature of different languages
from Early Modern Times to the present. The first two conferences have shown us that literary descriptions of different times and languages
witness the time in which they are written: They are on the one hand an important contribution for understanding the development of methods, on
the other hand they can disclose new interdisciplinary dialogues. The presentations and the following publication of the foregoing conference
have shown clearly that literary texts of different genres like prose, poetry, travelogues, diaries as well as letters and other categories
are door openers not only for new art historian perceptions, but also can give hints to new methods of our discipline. This means not only
the breaking up of the periodical conception of history of art, but also the architectural and spatial categories defined by history of art.
These are also the intentions of the third conference, dedicated to the relation of inside and outside of architecture in literary
descriptions. How far and how deep literary descriptions can scrutinize the methods of art history and in which extent this will be possible.
Furthermore the conference is interested in papers showing new perspectives for the discipline, being able to engage and continue new
dialogues for the different shifts of time and genres.
We particularly encourage the submission of proposals that crosscut cultural contexts, present diachronic perspectives or establish
relationships between different universes.
Submissions for a 30-minute presentation and edited volume should be forwarded to the Scientific Committee, which will proceed to a peer
review.
Submissions should be sent by email to barbara.vonorelli@khist.uzh.ch until 28th February
2014, with "CFP Dialogue of the Arts 2014" as subject message;
The abstracts should only include title and a maximum of 500 words; the abstract must be accompanied by a different file with a curriculum
vitae (maximum: 1 page), that must include personal identification elements, the submission title, academic affiliation and a selection of
a maximum of 5 bibliographic references; Notification of acceptance will be announced until 28th February 2014.
