CALL FOR PAPERS: “New Scholarship in British Art History: Discoveries at the NCMA”

A two-day symposium held at the North Carolina Museum of Art hosted alongside the upcoming exhibition “History and Mystery: Discoveries in the NCMA British Collection.”

Date: Friday, January 27th & Saturday, January 28th, 2017.

The question of what makes the British Isles “British” is particularly relevant given recent political events, such as the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union.

Using the North Carolina Museum of Art’s British collections as inspiration, this New Scholars Conference explores the ways in which we can examine “English” and “British” works of art. Particularly, this topic raises questions about the ways Britain can be viewed, either as inward looking and/or in dialogue with the wider world.

We encourage topics ranging from traditional categories of British art, such as portraiture, to new investigations into the mobility of artists and styles, as well as issues of race, class, and gender. The aim of this conference is to explore how innovative scholarship and new narratives can help expand the larger discipline of British studies. This conference is intended for graduate students, recent doctoral graduates, and postdoctoral scholars. We strongly suggest that speakers consider their papers in relation to the British collections at the NCMA, whose works of art range from 1580-1850.

We invite 20-minute papers on topics including (but not limited to) the following:

• British Notions of Territory
• Architecture in the English Context
• Race, Gender, & Class in Art
• Formation of the British Academy
• The Immigrant Artist
• The British Family in Art
• Foreign Influences in British Art
• Imagery of Travel and Exchange

Deadline: September 15th 2016 (Speakers will be informed via email by October 1st, 2016)

Please send an abstract (250 words) and a CV to Miranda Elston, with the email heading “NCMA New Scholarship in British Art History” and your Name, Affiliated Institution, and Paper Title in the email.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Green Britain: Nationhood and the Environment 1500-1750

25th June 2016, Shakespeare Institute, Stratford-upon-Avon

CfP deadline: 31st March 2016

Abstracts of 250 words for papers of no more than twenty minutes in length to be sent to greenbritain2016@gmail.com

Keynote speaker: Professor Karen Edwards, University of Exeter

During the early modern period, national identity was increasingly defined by the dynamic between people and the environment they populated. While many still longed for the pastoral ideal of Britain as the ‘Eden of Europe’, the looming threat of pollution, natural disaster, resource depletion, and urbanisation beset the thoughts of contemporary writers, theologians, and politicians. Though it had been long held that the environment had an observable influence on the fortunes of a nation and the character of its citizens, the inhabitants of early modern Britain now became gradually conscious of their impact on the natural world. Environmental issues of increasing variety and scale plagued early modern Britain as society struggled to sustain a rapidly expanding population. From changes in agricultural land use and poor forestry management, to the increasing reliance on the smog-inducing ‘sea-coal’ for fuel, many feared adverse effects on the minds, bodies, and souls of British citizens. Against this backdrop of environmental degradation, Britons were also forced to contend with the harshest decades of the so-called ‘Little Ice Age’ and a series of extreme weather events that were habitually seen as acts of divine retribution against the Lord’s elect nation. Further to this, new scientific developments in meteorology and geography, and the rise of Baconian methodology, increasingly affected the contemporary theory and practice of environmental governmentality. Differences in race, ethnicity, and national character were explained according to climate and colonies judged on their suitability to the British complexion, with climatological observations acting as an incentive for colonial exploitation.

Beyond vague collocations of Merry England’s ‘green and pleasant lands’, ‘Green Britain’ therefore aims to explore the complex relationship between national identity and the environment in a period of tumultuous ecological change. What conclusions can we derive from the study of early modern environmental issues, and how can we apply these to the complex idea of the early modern identity? To what extent is nationhood defined by the dynamic that exists between people, space, and place? And furthermore, is it possible to define an early modern attitude toward green issues? To this end, we invite proposals for both panels and papers based on the themes of nationhood and/or early modern ‘green’ issues for our one-day interdisciplinary symposium on 25th June, 2016.


Topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Travel writing
• Emerging scientific discourses
• Climate theory
• Pollution
• Space and place
• Cartography and map-making
• Seascapes and maritime history
• Town and country
• Cultivation and Agriculture
• Geography and Meteorology
• Astrology and Cosmology
• Enclosure and land ownership
• Colonialism and Empire
• Providence and providential disaster
• Natural philosophy
• Ecological issues
• Diseases and cures
• Vegetarianism
• Animals and animal rights

Longitude: back and forth across the years

6:30 pm — 7:30 pm on Thursday 25 September 2014
at National Maritime Museum, London

Public event with Lord Martin Rees FRS and Dr Rebekah Higgitt, in partnership with the National Maritime Museum

The search for an accurate measurement of longitude is a fascinating story that transformed seafaring navigation forever. Many designs were submitted after the passing of the Longitude Act in 1714. Two complementary methods were developed that, ultimately, allowed the widespread adoption of the marine chronometer.

Was parliament's decision to offer a reward essential to these innovations? Are there lessons to be drawn about how we support science and technology? As the Royal Museum Greenwich open their exhibition Ships, Clocks & Stars about the quest for longitude, exhibition curator Dr Rebekah Higgitt and Astronomer Royal Lord Martin Rees explore these and other questions whilst discussing the impacts of the Act over the last 300 years and what the future may bring from the discoveries of Nesta’s newly launched 2014 Longitude Prize.

This event will be followed by a late opening of Ships, Clocks & Stars.

The discussion will be chaired by UK Space Agency research Fellow, Dr Lewis Dartnell.

Tickets are required for this event and may be purchased from the National Maritime Museum. Tickets are £5, £4 members for event-only; £12 for event and exhibition ticket.

Travel and Conflict in the Medieval and Early Modern World

Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies (Aberystwyth/Bangor) Biennial Conference.

3rd-5th September 2015, Bangor University

Registration is now open: http://travelandconflict.bangor.ac.uk/register.php.en

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Michal Biran (Hebrew University, Jerusalem)
Daniel Carey (National University of Ireland, Galway)
Judith Jesch (University of Nottingham)

The meeting points between travel, mobility, and conflict are numerous. Travel can be a conflictual experience; in medieval Europe, movement may be perceived as being restricted to travel motivated by the exigencies of piety, pillage, or trade. It would however be too easy to suggest a clear binary between a medieval state of stasis and the more leisurely travel and exploration in the early modern period. Until relatively recently, domestic travel and voyages to the wider world remained dangerous undertakings.

Utopian fiction and travel writing are two genres that have been closely aligned by scholars who recognise how these genres reshape medieval discourses on the ideal state for an early modern audience. Weary travellers arrive at geographically unspecified places comprising ideal societies, but these ideal societies occupy a liminal space between fiction and reality: these spaces are ultimately unattainable due to the imprecision and prevarication present in the narrative. This draws to focus tensions within documenting imaginary travel and the material world. Far from being a site of concord, they become spaces of conflict. Travel – whether it is real or imagined, or if it has been implemented for public or private purposes - can be obstructed by conflicts; it remains often restricted and always bitterly debated.

This interdisciplinary conference brings together scholars working in the fields of medieval and early modern studies to interrogate the relationship between travel and conflict.

LRS: Anglican Global Crossings and the Specters of Islam in the Early Modern Period

London Renaissance Seminar Summer Lecture 13 July 2015
5.30pm, Room 112, 43 Gordon Square, London WC1

We welcome Professor Jyotsna Singh to deliver the London Renaissance Summer Lecture, and to be London Renaissance Summer Fellow. Do join us for the lecture which inaugurates her fellowship:

Anglican Global Crossings and the Specters of Islam in the Early Modern Period

This paper offers a comparative re-examination of the narratives of two Anglican Ministers, interested in travel writing — Samuel Purchas( 1555-1626), and Edward Terry (1519-1660). I focus on how both offer complicated mediations of Islam, bringing to life the global crossings and identity formations of both Christians and Muslims. Terry spent three years in India, 1616-19, as the Chaplain for Sir Thomas Roe, Ambassador to the Mughal Court of the Emperor Jahangir and emissary of the East India Company. His detailed journal, A Voyage to East India (1625 and 1655) contains an important discussion of Indian religions, most notably of the differences between Hindus and “Mahometans.” It is telling that Terry’s journal was published by Samuel Purchas in his huge anthology of travel writings, Purchas, his Pilgrimage or Relations of the World and the Religions Observed … (1614) and in, another edition, Purchas, His Pilgrimes (1625), both of which focus on Islam in Book III. How do Islam and Christianity emerge in these Anglican accounts? While both Anglicans rejected Islam, viewing "religion" as synonymous to Christian truth, they also interpreted Islam with some complexity and ambiguity, notable in their efforts to categorize new ethnographic knowledge about the Muslim world. Finally, the discourse of “religion” that emerges in these Anglican accounts serves as an important context for understanding other Christian engagements with Islam in India and elsewhere, including those of other English Chaplains, Jesuits, and Dutch religious personages.

History in Travel Narratives 1589-1826, Paris > December 2010

Joint conference organised by PRISMES (CREA XVIII, Epistémè), Sorbonne nouvelle, and CIERL, Quebec 

Paris, Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, 11-12 December, 2010 

Call for papers 

This conference will examine the representation of history in travel 
narrative. A European's perception of countries and peoples with no «history » is not the same as that of « civilised » nations. What model of 
historical change do travel narratives project?history as a decline from 
some mythical or mythicised origin, cyclical history, history as the 
unfolding of a providential design, as progress ? The evolution of those 
categories over the period considered will be investigated ; this period 
stretches from 1589, which saw the publication of Richard Hakluyt's 
Principal Navigations, to 1826, when William Ellis's Narrative of a Tour 
through Hawaii came out. 

What is the influence of historiography at any given time on the 
representation of history as experience in travel literature ? How does 
travel narrative validate its status as historiography ? 

>From a more anthropological viewpoint, does the discovery of new or 
different spaces or places shape the perception and construction of time 
? Is there any interaction between the conception of space and that of 
time, between the depiction of spaces and that of time, especially of the 
time needed for the evolution of manners, customs and institutions which 
differ from those familiar to the traveller ? Does this entail a 
relativisation of time ? How does a European (or Europeanised) nation?s 
past constrain the analysis of the fabric and customs of the areas 
visited ? Is the historicisation of lived experience limited ? What is 
the impact of measuring instruments on this experience and the account 
thereof. 

Those are some of the questions which will be addressed in this conference. 

Voyages from and to Great-Britain will be of particular, but not 
exclusive, interest. 

Please send proposals?200-250 words for papers not exceeding 30 minutes 
before 15 June 2010 to Isabelle Bour (Isabelle.Bour@univ-paris3.fr), Line 
Cottegnies (Line.Cottegnies@univ-paris3.fr) and Thierry Belleguic
