Fall 2019
CFP: “Re/vision”
Deadline: 20 September 2019

The editors of SEQUITUR, a graduate student journal published by the Department of History of Art & Architecture at Boston University, invite current graduate students to submit content on the theme “Re/vision” for our Fall 2019 issue.

The phrase “re/vision” addresses the complexities of canonization and narration in the field of history of art and architecture. Re/visionmay challenge the conception of objects as remnants, elucidating and investigating the time which has elapsed between their creation and the present day. Focusing on the history and afterlife of an object extends its temporal boundaries, allowing for not only the examination of large scale changes but new gestures and methods at object level. Alternatively, re/vision might consider systemic questions, expanding the discourses of multiple temporalities and challenging practices of historiography.The reformation of historical paradigms aims to craft more inclusive and open-ended narratives in the intersection of culture, history, and identity-making principles.

Possible subjects may include, but are not limited to: new approaches to historiography of art and architecture; shifts in institutional memory; obscured and erased histories; identity (re)formation; intersectionality; (under)representation; feminist studies; queer and gender studies; heterochrony; multiple temporalities; alternative modernities; reevaluation of binaries; imagining the other; ephemerality; assemblage; replication; reconstruction works of art or architecture; destruction; conservation; archives; access; ruins; fragmentation; lifetime of objects and artifacts; ruins; spolia; palimpsest; revisited sites; resistance; reparations; restitution.

We welcome submissions from graduate students in the disciplines of art history, architecture, material culture, queer and gender studies, and migration studies, among others, to apply. We encourage submissions that take advantage of the online format of the journal. Previous issues of SEQUITUR can be found at http://www.bu.edu/sequitur/archive/.

Founded in 2014, SEQUITUR is an online biannual scholarly journal dedicated to addressing events, issues, and personalities in art and architectural history. SEQUITUR engages with and expands current conversations in the field by promoting the perspectives of graduate students from around the world. It seeks to contribute to existing scholarship by focusing on valuable but oft-overlooked parts of art and architectural history.
