Each year, the IAS seeks session proposals that address any issue relevant to Italian art and architecture during the long sixteenth century. The Sixteenth Century Society & Conference (SCSC), which was founded to promote scholarship on the early modern era (c.1450-1600), actively encourages the participation of international scholars as well as the integration of younger colleagues into the academic community. IAS members interested in putting together a panel or linked panels (even roundtables are possible) should send a brief abstract (250 words max), session title, a short list of potential or desired speakers (they need not be confirmed), the name of the chair(s) with email addresses and affiliation, and a one-page CV to the IAS Program Committee Chair. The annual deadline is March 15. See our submission guidelines for eligibility requirements to propose a session for IAS at SCSC. http://italianartsociety.org/conferences-lectures/ias-at-the-sixteenth-century-society/

2. It’s About Time: Imagining and Imaging Temporality in Early Modern Europe.

Panel at the Sixteenth-Century Society Conference,
Vancouver, October 22-25 2015
Organizer: Itay Sapir

As motionless images are considered, at least since Lessing’s Laocoon, to belong quintessentially to the domain of space, their temporal aspect is often neglected. While in recent years studies such as Georges Didi-Huberman’s Devant le temps, Keith Moxey’s Visual Time: The Image in History or Christopher Wood and Alexander Nagel’s Anachronic Renaissance have encouraged discussion of images in, through and against time, specific analyses of early modern visual artworks in terms of their temporal existence and functioning are still rare.

In this panel, we wish to detect the traces of time – duration, passage, repetition or even time seeming to stand still – in images from fifteenth- to seventeenth-century Europe. In particular, we are interested in ways in which theoretical thinking about time – philosophical, theological or scientific – is visualized in artworks.

As reception and function are today justly viewed as part and parcel of an image’s significance, we welcome contributions discussing temporality as part of the social role of images as well as discussions of the historiographical aspect of imaged time: how visual time is construed in writings about early modern artworks, and how images are interpreted both as representing time – encapsulating it “within” them – and as participating in a more general historical movement.

Please submit a 250-word abstract and a one-page CV to Itay Sapir (sapir.itayuqam.ca) by March 31, 2015.
