CFP: "MEMORY, MELANCHOLY AND NOSTALGIA", 4TH INTERNATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE




Memory, Melancholy and Nostalgia
4th International Interdisciplinary Conference
9-10 December, 2019 

In our modern world, which some have argued to be disjointed while immersing itself ever deeper in crisis, the turning back towards “the olden days” and the ensuing nostalgia constitute a noticeable phenomenon, both individually (the memory of biography) and collectively (the memory of History). Another important – and seemingly also quite noticeable – phenomenon  is the longing for something vague, indefinite or never existent.

CFP: “EUROPEAN STUDIES IN ASIAN ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY”, EAAA MONOGRAPH SERIES


EAAA 3rd Monograph Series Volume
“European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology”

Published by EAAA and BRILL


The EAAA Monograph Series “European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology” offers in-depth and peer-reviewed scholarly contributions to topics relevant to Asian Art and Archaeology that consider subjects in a broader Asian context. The goal of this series is to analyze and interpret the social and artistic histories and heritages in Asian societies from ancient to contemporary context. This series, therefore, contributes a deeper understanding of the cultural, philosophical, political, religious and ideological values of Asia.

The Editorial Board is currently inviting proposals for the third volume. We seek an innovative book proposal that will raise new research questions as well as challenge or open up innovative theoretical and methodological pathways in the fields of art history and Asian Studies.

The first volume of “European Studies in Asian Art and Archaeology”, “Production, Distribution and Appreciation: New Aspects on East Asian Lacquer Wares” (Brill, 2018), focused on various aspects of Asian lacquer art ranging from the 2nd century BC to the 17th century AD. Authors in this volume addressed recent excavations of lacquer ware from tombs in China, the distribution of lacquer objects throughout the Eurasian hemisphere, the significance of lacquer ware in everyday life, the technical aspects of lacquer production in Korea and the appreciation of Japanese lacquer in Asia and Europe. The second volume, “China in Europe: Performance, Material Culture and Display 1600-1900,” deals with the introduction of Chinese objects to Europe, their reception and, consequently, their imitation known as chinoiseries. Various topics being studied include kraak porcelain, tin-glazed tiles with Chinese imagery, masqued balls at Louis XIV’s court, the ambiguity of representations à la Chinoise, illusionist wall- painting, garden planning and Cantonese export paintings. etc. The volume will be published in 2020.

Scholars of Asian art and archaeology from Europe and beyond are invited to submit their proposals that engage the fields of art and archaeology of China, Japan, Korea, South and Central Asia as well as Asian transregional and transnational studies.

 
Proposals should include an abstract of the volume, name of authors (+ affiliation, a short CV of max. 100 words), titles and abstracts of individual papers/chapters.

Proposals should be sent to Hans Bjarne Thomsen: thomsen@khist.uzh.ch by 31 October 2019.

The language of publication is English.

Deadline: 31 October 2019
