Public Disorder: Post-World War II European Art and Its Publics (2-4 April 2009)
Category: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Tufts University/School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Deadline: 11/10/08
This panel seeks to foster a multidisciplinary conversation on the problem of the post-WWII 'public disorder.' This necessitates crossing disciplinary boundaries in order to 1) assess the relevance of current theories of the public and counter-public spheres in relation to the art production of this period; 2) develop new models of mediation to elucidate the relationship between artistic practice and the socio-political sphere and to to elaborate on the models of publicity that emerged within the specific conditions of individual countries; 3) identify intersections between post-WWII paradigms of the public and their contemporary reception and critique. It might also entail considerations of art works that deliberately disdain public aspirations to explore the realm of privacy as a potential locus of political engagement.
Please send paper abstract of 250 words (max) to: Noit.Banai@Tufts.Edu
