Call for proposals, College Art Association Annual Meeting,
New York, 9-12 Feb. 2011:

Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture session:
The Global Eighteenth Century

Contemporary debates on globalization have encouraged us to examine
eighteenth-century art and design from an intercultural perspective.
We invite papers that address the circulation of peoples and
Things - between India, Africa, Europe, Asia, and beyond - and
explore the mutually transformative potential of such encounters.
Topics to be addressed might include visual appropriation and
translation, markets, collecting and display, and the political and
diplomatic uses of objects. We especially encourage
methodologically innovative approaches to analyzing these artistic
exchanges and their historical specificity.

Chairs: Kristel Smentek, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
Meredith Martin, Wellesley College

Email proposals to smentekmit.edu and mmartinwellesley.edu
