Call for Papers: “Dealing with risks, Architecture and Philosophy”

International Symposium, organized by GERPHAU Lab (philosophy, architecture, urban world, EA 7486 Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette) and the ARENA Association. Paris, 11-12 March 2021 No one knows what the real consequences for habitat, climate change and the degradation of the biosphere will be in the next fifteen, thirty or fifty years.

2021 Annual Conference Association for Art History. Call for Papers: “Surrealism in 1960s and 1970s Latin America”

However, we could also rethink the marvellous in relation to the utopian impulse and discourses that have shaped the…

2021 Annual Conference Association for Art History. Call for Papers: “Contemporary Art, Health and Medicine”

This panel explores the proliferation of artistic practices addressing medical and health-related subjects, both within and outside of traditional systems of art production and display. As well as the increasing prevalence of medical themes in the work of individual artists, contemporary art is now called on to interpret, communicate and produce health-related knowledge in academic research, medical museums and medical environments. The intersections between contemporary art and medicine have received little critical attention (to date, most work on art and medicine has focused on the 19th and early 20th centuries). As Jordanova notes, “we lack a basic map” of “the…
