Art and Temporality: York Summer Theory Institute in Art History

Designed for students undertaking postgraduate research (PhD candidates), the second York Summer Theory Institute in Art History at the University of York (YSTI), Art and Temporality, will explore the ways in which the temporalities of the arts and their histories have been conceived in art history, visual culture, image studies, and related disciplines. Recent discussions of ‘multiple modernities’, of ‘revivals’ in the arts, of ‘anachronic’ histories and ‘anachronistic’ art histories, and of the need to study the ‘global modern’, ‘global medieval’, and/or ‘global ancient’ (not to speak of ‘global prehistory’) have reawakened critical, theoretical, and methodological interest in philosophies of history, time, and periodization.
