Deadline for paper proposal submission is 11 November 2005. Whither Feminist Art History? Session Convenors: Dr Francesca Berry (University of Birmingham) & Dr Amy Mechowski (Independent Scholar) Art historians who align themselves with feminist politics are presently faced with a climate of both anti- and post-feminism. Following radical interventions into the discipline, second-wave feminist methodology is now well established within the academy. At the same time, feminist analysis is considered by many to be either an inappropriate or an outmoded form of historical enquiry. The conditions of feminist art history's current malcontent are evidenced in simple pedagogical terms: feminist analysis is a necessary and often welcome component of methodology courses yet many students reject as anachronistic feminist politics and the vocabularies employed within its discourses. This radical past yet ambivalent present suggests a future for feminist art history that is devoid of feminism as a political agenda - a situation that holds both limitations and opportunities for its practitioners. This session aims to debate this future by asking: is there a future for feminist art history and if so, what shape might it take? In order to explore the future of feminist art history, this session will consider the past and present of feminist interventions in the history of art. As such, papers are invited from scholars addressing the historiography of feminist analysis. These might consider the historical relationship between feminism as a methodology and as a political agenda. Alternatively, they might address both the historical and current relationship between feminism and other politicized methodologies including those identified with the politics of class, ethnicity and sexuality. In order to debate the present, papers are invited from those considering feminism's place at both the center and margins of art history or those considering feminist art history's position within the culture of inter- disciplinarity. Contributions are equally welcomed from those considering how later generations of feminist art historians are negotiating the authority and politics of their predecessors. Finally, papers are invited from those seeking to identify new issues, methodologies and future directions in the 'endangered' field of feminist art history. In this respect, papers might consider the future of feminist analysis in relation to issues such as new visual technologies or the escalation of global politics.
