Directions of Realism
A graduate conference sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Humanities Center
Is realism a coherent category, or was it ever? Can realism stake out its identity independent of rival categories like naturalism, idealism and expressionism? This conference seeks to explore the various meanings that the term “realism” takes on within and among disciplines like art history, philosophy, literature and film studies, to understand the issues involved in identifying a work or theory as “realist,” and to map out the various trajectories along which realist conceptions have developed or are likely to develop. We welcome papers that investigate particular works or theories, those that seek to situate them within a larger comparative or historical framework, as well as those that wish to approach the issue from a conceptual standpoint. In exploring these various conceptions and the directions along which they have developed, we hope better to understand the stakes of issues of realism within and among our humanistic discourses.
