Call for Papers: Paris Symposium
History, Continuity, and Rupture:
Symposium on Christianity and Art History
Le Pavé d'Orsay, Paris, France
If the history of art and architecture has been one of both rupture and continuity, nowhere has this process of continuity and creativity been more evident than in the 2000-year history of Christianity and the visual arts. At times marked by religious conservatism, and at times by radical innovation, artists engaged in developing visual means of expressing Christian faith and doubt within various historical contexts have both embraced and transformed inherited thematic, iconographic, and formal elements. History, Continuity, Rupture will be held at Pavé d'Orsay located within blocks of the Musée d'Orsay. We seek 20-minute papers to be presented in French or English that represent new and publishable scholarship to address the ways in which such artistic initiatives have emerged from within particular cultural, historical, and religious moments, engaging in the reception and transformation of inherited thematic, iconographic, and/or formal elements. Symposium papers are intended for publication in English in a collected volume.
We are especially interested in papers which engage works of art in Paris collections. Paper proposals of no more than two pages double-spaced should be submitted along with a cover letter and c.v. to James Romaine (J-Romaine@bethel.edu) and Linda Stratford (LStratford@asbury.edu) and should include reference to methodological assumptions. The deadline for submission is December 1, 2009. Previously presented or published papers will be considered but should be indicated as such. Acceptance in the Symposium implies commitment to attend.
Linda Stratford, PhD, and James Romaine, PhD are the Symposium co-chairs
