Call for Papers - FRENCH ART IN NARRATIVE 1820-1940
The 6th annual conference of the University of Bristol 'Centre for the Study of Visual and Literary Cultures in France' will take place on 26th-27th February 2005 on the topic FRENCH ART IN NARRATIVE 1820-1940.
A large number of novels, short stories and plays about art and artists in France were published in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but only a small proportion of these have ever been intensively studied. The broad aim of this conference is to interrogate this rich archive of material with the collective expertise of scholars in literary and art-historical disciplines.
By taking an interdisciplinary approach, it also aims to reassess the value of this corpus of texts and to reconsider the methodological possibilities open to researchers in this field.
Those interested in receiving further information or in giving papers at the conference should contact Paul Smith of the Bristol University Department of History of Art (P.Smith@bristol.ac.uk). Proposals for papers should be sent before 31st October 2004.
This weekend conference will take place at the Burwalls Conference Centre, University of Bristol.
