The notion of time has emerged in both medieval art history and musicology as a key category for understanding works of art in their historical and cultural contexts. This graduate workshop investigates the notion of time as a fundamental dimension in the various artistic expressions of the Middle Ages. It offers doctoral candidates in a variety of fields (e.g., art history, history, literature, musicology, and philosophy) the opportunity to reflect on the impact of this historiography and the temporal theme for their work, and engage an interdisciplinary group of faculty and students in discussing how different dimensions of time and temporality factor in their own interpretations of medieval material.
Proposals are for pre-circulated papers that will be framed by 20-minute presentations and a faculty response. Due date for applications: May 2, 2022.
We invite proposals from a wide range of disciplines, geographies and linguistic traditions, and within a "long" medieval timeframe (ie., Early Modernists and Late Antique folks: if you are interested, please apply).
Please send any questions to me and to Prof. Reuland: [email protected] and [email protected]. We look forward to receiving your proposals!
