CALL --> National Histories of Art beyond the Nations Borders | Prazo limite: 10 de Novembro. Session at Association of Art Historians Annual Conference, Sainsbury Institute for Art, University of East Anglia, Norwich, April 9 - 11, 2015. CIHA (Comité international d’histoire de l’art) is an art historical organisation of global reach that is organised into national committees. This session, convened by two members of CIHA’s British committee, sets out to investigate the promotion and production of national histories of art within transnational and global contexts. Since the 19th century, the scholarly discipline of art history has been dominated by nation-based narratives, which still have a powerful presence and influence. This session will consider the ways in which such nation-based narratives have been fostered, enabled, promoted and problematised beyond the borders of the nation in question. Sometimes this has been the explicit intention of particular institutions, such as the Dutch University Institute in Florence, the British School at Rome or the Centre allemand d’histoire de l’art in Paris, situated beyond the borders of the nation whose culture they study. Sometimes it has been the result of external forces, as for example in the 1930s and ’40s, when universities in Britain and the United States provided a significant home for art historians fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe whose work can be considered in light of their refugee experience. Equally, national histories of art have had an impact on each other: for example, Kakuzo Okakura’s ideas about the art history of Japan had an incendiary relationship to the Tagore circle’s ideas about the art history of India. We welcome proposals for papers that address the character of national histories of art produced, promoted or influenced in some way from beyond the nation’s borders. +info/fonte: aah.org.uk/annual-conference/2015-conference
