Defining Ritual
CALL FOR PAPERS
The University of Arizona's Thirteenth Annual Art History Graduate Student
Association (AHGSA) Symposium, "Defining Ritual," provides a forum for
graduate students in art history and related interdisciplinary fields such
as visual culture, cultural studies, performance, etc., to present scholarly
research and engage in intellectual debate. This year's symposium will
examine the representation of ritual in the arts, and ways in which art and
ritual may relate to notions and constructions of personal and communal
identity. What is ritual? How is it defined, depicted and deployed by
artists? How is it received and internalized by audiences? What is the use
and function of art within different practices? How might ritual relate to
issues of race and gender?
Papers may address a multitude of Western and Non-Western topics: sacred and
secular ceremonies, liminal experiences, cultural celebrations, daily and
personal routines, social and family gatherings. Papers including
discussions of performance art, music and photography concerning ritual are
also encouraged.
The symposium will be held at the University of Arizona on Friday January
25, 2002. This all-day event will consist of graduate student presentations
and panel discussions, as well as a key-note speaker. University of Arizona
graduate students will act as respondents and moderators for panel
discussions. Honorariums for travel funds or accommodations may be
available.
One page abstracts of scholarly papers concerning all aspects of ritual
accompanied by a curriculum vitae and a brief personal statement or letter
of introduction will be accepted postmarked no later than November 16, 2001.
Presentations are limited to twenty minutes and inter-disciplinary
approaches are encouraged.
Please send abstracts to: 2002 AHGSA Symposium, c/o Courtney Hamrick; 2048A
East 1st Street; Tucson, Arizona 85719. Prospective participants will be
notified no later than November 30, 2001.
An exhibition will also be held at the University of Arizona's Lionel
Rombach Gallery in conjunction with the The Thirteenth Annual Symposium. The
exhibition dates are January 9 to February 14, 2002 with an opening
reception on January 18.
