Association of Art Historians Summer Student Symposium
23-24 June 2009
University of Bristol
This year’s AAH Summer Student Symposium wishes to explore the ways we read images. The frame is a contested space of neutrality and comment, discourse and ownership, authorship and institutionalization. Thus the ways of approaching the image become essential to what we come to comprehend as ‘the image’, its limits and boundaries.
Possible topics may include:
Reading images: historical methodology and contemporary practice
Framing images: between material presence and interpretation of the
visual
Institutional narratives: stories, titles, biographies
Self-framing: artist-generated public images and shifts of reading
Negotiation and negation: edges, margins, boundaries, and limits
Scholarship and discipline: the art historian’s story and the implicature of
research
We invite 20-minute presentations from postgraduate students; if interested, send a 300-word abstract to Louise Hughes (lh1873@bristol.ac.uk) and Eve Kalyva (allien89@googlemail.com) by 20 March 2009.
