CFP: Archival Practices in Contemporary Visual Arts: A Model and a Source

ARCHIVAL PRACTICES IN CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTS
A MODEL AND A SOURCE

26-27 SEPTEMBER 2024
virtual event

Archivo Platform and the Archivo Papers Journal, are pleased to announce the 5th edition of the Reframing the Archive – International Conference on Photography and Visual Culture. Titled Archival Practices in Contemporary Visual Arts: A Model and a Source, the conference aims to gather contributions on archival art and archival research for contemporary art, considering them as two complementary aspects of a broad and complex field of investigation. On one hand, the archive serves as a structural model for artists from diverse backgrounds and engaged in various fields. On the other hand, authors’ archives provide essential resources for historiographical studies on contemporary art, offering valuable information and direct testimonies. This dual focus necessitates engagement not only with the present but also with a relatively short historical span.

Since at least the 1960s, artists have been grappling with the concept of the archive, influenced by post-structuralist studies and early achievements in conceptual art. By employing tools of collection, classification, and indexing borrowed from archival theory and practice, artists of that (sociologically changing) era explored artistic languages capable of transcending the objecthood prevalent in post-World War II art. This exploration led to the development of an expressive form that remains relevant today. Indeed, much of contemporary art continues to yield compelling results when its semantic and formal contents are mediated by the archival model, particularly in genres such as photography, installation and performance. Despite the vast productivity of this global trend, critics are currently challenged with defining and contextualising archival art, often grappling with the complexities of its heterogeneity. In what perspective, with what tools, and according to what possible definitions or counter-definitions is it possible to historicise or reinterpret archival art today? What new proposals can contemporary artists offer by drawing inspiration from traditional paradigms of archival art or inventing new formal possibilities and codifications?

These questions underscore the extensive and complex dimension of contemporary archival art. However, While the archive serves as an artistic model, its contemporary incarnation as an institution offers a formidable resource for reconstructing recent art history. In recent years, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the author’s archive as a vital component in studies on the preservation of historical documents and art objects. Research efforts are expanding to develop criteria for the conservation and administration of contemporary art archives, describe case studies on the acquisition or museamisation of art document collections, and critically reinterpret artistic and artists’ correspondence sourced from archives of artists, critics and scholars. Through such resources, the reconstruction of contemporary art gains detailed descriptive capacity, thanks to the archival documents containing first-hand information about artists’ studios, relationships, contracts and exchanges with patrons, family memories, and personal research contained in notebooks, sketches, photographic negatives and other repertoires. How, then, do archives speak about contemporary art? What approaches can be taken to utilise visual archives as sources for art history? How are visual archives employed in constructing national narratives and how can they be decolonised? What does an overview of emerging case studies yield? How can institutions dedicated to preserving historic knowledge be further promoted?

The 5th edition of the International Conference Reframing the Archive invites scholars at any stage of their careers, as well as visual artists and other professionals in the field of visual arts, to reflect on contemporary archive-based visual arts and contemporary archival sources and collections. We welcome proposals for 15-minute theory and practice-led presentations (followed by 15-minute panel discussion) from various disciplines, including: photography, cinema and new media, art history and theory, anthropology, museology, philosophy, cultural studies, visual and media studies, and fine and graphic arts.

Call for proposals open for DigiCAM25: Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory conference

Digital research in the arts and humanities has traditionally tended to focus on digitised physical objects and archives. However, born-digital cultural materials that originate and circulate across a range of digital formats and platforms are rapidly expanding and increasing in complexity, which raises opportunities and issues for research and archiving communities. Collecting, preserving, accessing and sharing born-digital objects and data presents a range of technical, legal and ethical challenges that, if unaddressed, threaten the archival and research futures of these vital cultural materials and records of the 21st century. Moreover, the environments, contexts and formats through which born-digital records are mediated necessitate reconceptualising the materials and practices we associate with cultural heritage and memory. Research and practitioner communities working with born-digital materials are growing and their interests are varied, from digital cultures and intangible cultural heritage to web archives, electronic literature and social media.

To explore and discuss issues relating to born-digital cultural heritage, the Digital Humanities Research Hub at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, in collaboration with British Library curators, colleagues from Aarhus University and the Endangered Material Knowledge Programme at the British Museum, are currently inviting submissions for the inaugural Born-Digital Collections, Archives and Memory conference, which will be hosted at the University of London and online from 2-4 April 2025. The full call for proposals and submission portal is available at https://easychair.org/cfp/borndigital2025.

CFP: (Digital) Retrospectives on Historiography from Africa: Decolonization, the African press, and the uses of knowledge (open)

CFP – (Digital) Retrospectives on Historiography from Africa: Decolonization, the African press, and the uses of knowledge (open)

Editors: Noemi Alfieri (CHAM, NOVA FCSH-UAc; Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence, U. Bayreuth), Cassandra Mark-Thiesen (Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence, U. Bayreuth)

The history of knowledge production in Africa is a rising topic in the backdrop of growing awareness of the uneven globalization of intellectual thought. Focusing on the era of decolonization in Africa, a growing number of scholars are especially exploring historiography as read in periodicals such as pamphlets, magazines, journals or newspapers (Mark-Thiesen, Alfieri, Thioub, Coquerey-Vidrovitch and others). They provide important impetus for understanding the link between media and emancipation,
political democracy, freedom of choice, self-awareness, and selective association.

This special issue of Práticas da História reflects on contemporary epistemological possibilities and constraints in the writing of history. Therefore, it welcomes both contributions that dwell on African journals (scholarly, literary, artistic and ephemeral periodicals) from the 1950s to 1980s, and on the histories behind said periodicals. We look forward to contributions that explore different and contested visions of decolonization and future-making for the African continent and its diaspora. We also invite articles investigating differently situated historiographies from Africa: that use local vernacular by incorporating idiom, local imagery, myth and folklore; that relate to the present or the deep past. We also encourage more nuanced takes on the “nationalist historiography” that when viewed as a monolith was so dominant at the time. For instance, Pan-Africanism and Négritude, while revolutionizing the political assets of the continent, remained contested as intellectual projects. Finally, articles problematizing the current conceptualisations of such historiography as either “colonial”, “traditional”, “radical”, eurocentric”, “afrocentric”, “Africa-centred”, and so forth, are highly welcomed.

Finally, on methodology, and given the current wave of digitisation and digitality, the guest editors encourage reflections on processes of digital preservation and recirculation of historiography from Africa, including their implications for Africa-based and African diasporic knowledge production in the arts, literature, and scholarship. How about their impact on the expansion of the public arena and community empowerment? How are online platforms fostering a re-positioning, re-calibrating and re-thinking of these bodies of knowledge from Africa? And what potentialities lie in the future? In short, we are interested in contributions that dwell on contemporary and future receptions of the above-mentioned publications and journals in the digital sphere.

Proposals (maximum 500 words) must be sent by 30 April 2024 to praticashistoria@gmail.com . Proposals must be accompanied by a short biographical note. The acceptance or refusal of the proposal will be communicated by 15 May 2024. The articles of accepted proposals must be submitted by 31 July 2024. Contributions in both English and Portuguese are welcome.

CFP: Making Nature: The Labor of Natural History

Inspired by the APS Museum’s upcoming exhibition Sketching Splendor: Natural History in America, 1750-1850 the American Philosophical Society is organizing a two-day conference that will explore the ways humans have imagined, depicted, and constructed representations and knowledge about the natural world over time. The conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, scientists, naturalists, and collection professionals, as well as artists, filmmakers, climate activists, and others to consider the different forms of labor and expertise that have contributed to shaping past, present, and future understandings of nature as well as the place of humans within it. The conference will be held in-person at the Society in Philadelphia on June 6-7, 2024.

The program committee invites paper proposals from scholars in all fields as well as scientists, curators, artists, educators, collections stewards, and others whose work bears upon this theme. The committee especially welcomes proposals that situate natural history in a wide range of geographic and historical contexts.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

  • The economic, social, and political implications of natural history collections and collecting practices over time.
  • The role of institutions, including botanical gardens, zoos, arboretums, libraries, museums, aquariums, and others, in shaping scientific and public understandings about the natural world.
  • The impact and contributions of local and Indigenous labor and expertise within natural history projects.
  • Critical studies addressing the relationship between natural history and empire.
  • Studies of how nature and the natural world inform art, music, film, literature, and other creative pursuits in the past and present.
  • The role of images, visualizations, and other non-text based approaches in conveying ideas about nature and natural history.
  • Discussions about specific techniques and craft knowledge used in the preservation and display of natural history.
  • The needs and opportunities of digital tools and platforms for past, present, and future work in natural history.
  • The impact of climate change and extinction narratives on understandings and depictions of nature.
  • Papers exploring decolonial and antiracist approaches to natural history.
     

Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V. by February 15, 2024 via Interfolio: https://apply.interfolio.com/137229

CFP: Spatial Humanities 2024

Call for Papers

Spatial Humanities 2024

Bamberg University, Germany, 25th–27th Sept 2024

https://spathum.uni-bamberg.de

We are delighted to announce that the 5th Spatial Humanities conference will be held in Bamberg on September 25th to 27th 2024.

Abstract submission deadline: 15th Feb 2024

Spatial Humanities 2024 welcomes submissions on all aspects of using geospatial technologies in humanities research, methodological innovations, and applied research that develops our understanding of the geographies of the past. We welcome contributions from anyone working on computational approaches to spatial questions in the humanities and arts. These disciplines include, but are not limited to, history (including fields from social history such as historical demography and environmental history), archaeology, heritage and conservation studies, literary studies, classics, linguistics, art history, anthropology and religious studies, as well as from interdisciplinary and/or technical fields including GIS, digital humanities, computational linguistics and computer science. Abstracts should be between 750–1000 words for full papers and 500–750 words for posters.

This year the conference will take place in Bamberg, Germany, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accordingly, the conference will feature a special session with a focus on Spatial Humanities and Heritage. Heritage has spatial dimensions and heritage processes are linked to place: architecture and urban conservation, the listing of historic buildings, sites, cultural landscapes or heritage districts. Maps of heritage ‘assets’ and archaeological sites shape the way we perceive and understand places, as well as their cultural identity. How can these be studied to reveal cultural boundaries and exclusivity in heritage discourses? How can innovative multi-layered maps show alternative and diverse aspects of heritage?

We are delighted to announce that this year’s keynote speakers will be Francesca Ammon (University of Pennsylvania) and Ross Purves(University of Zurich).

Themes

Proposals are welcomed on, but not limited to, the following themes:

  • Gazetteers, e.g. urban, regional, national and international
  • Artificial intelligence, e.g. computer vision, NLP, deep learning, etc.
  • Spatial explorations of narratives, literary and imaginary places
  • GIS and spatial analysis including 3D modeling and spatial statistics
  • Deep mapping, experiences of places
  • Territorial representations, transgressions, subalternity and boundaries
  • Mapping mobility, spatial connections and networks
  • Linking the map and the text: mixed-method approaches
  • Geospatial ‘collections as data’, enrichment and annotation
  • Historical maps and georeferencing
  • Environmental humanities: landscapes, waterscapes and the blue humanities
  • Linked Open (Geo)Data
  • IIIF applications for maps and spatial data
  • Labs notebooks, workflows and infrastructure
  • Data mining, visualisation and the challenges of geolocation
  • Building, mapping and spatially analysing heritage inventories

Venue

Bamberg University, Markusstraße 8a, D-96047 Bamberg, Germany. The conference will be held in person.

CFP: Thinking in Community: “Universities and Power” Through Research and Practice

Call for Presentations
April 12th-13th, 2024
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Minneapolis, Minnesota

In what ways have colleges and universities historically been involved in the reproduction of power? That question is at the heart of our two day symposium. Higher education often serves as an important vehicle for economic and social mobility. However, these same institutions are also imbricated in the reproduction of social power and inequality. How can we make sense of these tensions? How can we explore the tremendous good that higher education does without overlooking the harm?

This symposium is less of a traditional gathering of academics and more of a space to engage various elements of the university in questions that affect all of us. Therefore we intend to reach a broad audience and we encourage students, administrators, archivists, historians, higher education studies, ethnic studies, american studies, and related fields to apply. Priority will be given to students, junior faculty, early-career scholars, and
staff, but all are encouraged to apply.

We are seeking 10-12 minute roundtable presentations that speak to any of the following questions or themes:

Research/Archives
● In what specific ways have colleges and universities been imbricated in inequality?
● How and who should research these tensions? What lines of inquiry should be opened What methodological tools should we employ?
● How should this research be presented, disseminated, and engaged with?
● What are some of the challenges to doing this work?
● What are the possibilities and impossibilities for redress?

Teaching/Mentoring
● How can faculty and instructors incorporate these issues and contradictions into their classes? Either via syllabi or creating new classes or experiential learning, etc.
● Reflections on how power operates in a classroom setting
● Calls for a reorientation within mentoring, teaching, or administration that correct past injustices

To submit a proposal, click here.

For those selected, travel & lodging will be covered and a modest honorarium will be provided. Also, if interested in attending or keeping up with developments surrounding this event, please let us know here.

Proposals Due: extended to Friday, February 16th
Organized by:
Yalile Suriel, Assistant Professor of Universities and Power, University of Minnesota
Ellen Holt-Werle, Institutional Archivist, University of Minnesota
Aaron Alvarado, Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota
Sponsored by: Imagine Fund, Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Inspired by: Boston University’s Critical University Studies Symposium
