Proposals are invited for papers for a Symposium on Visual Culture in Argentina on 23 April 2019 in the Arts and Humanities Institute at Maynooth University. Since the time of nation building, Argentine art and visual culture has been inextricably linked to the social and political changes that took place in the country. Painting, sculpture, photography, posters, film, television, video art, digital art, graphic novels and architecture not only reveal the wounds and conflicts left by the past but they also shape the present of Argentina. This symposium aims at bringing together scholars from different areas to share their interest in and research on Argentine visual culture and art.
Keynote Speakers;
Dr Jordana Blejmar, University of Liverpool, UK
Dr Tzvi Tal, Sapir College, Israel
Papers are invited on any topic related to art and visual culture in Argentina.
Abstracts should be no more than 200 words and include name, title, affiliation and four key words. Please note that presentations can be in English or Spanish. Closing date for submissions is 15th March 2019.
Please email your abstract to mirna.vohnsen@mu.ie
The symposium will take place in Maynooth University Arts and Humanities Institute on Tuesday 23rd April 2019 and registration will be free of charge.
