It will bring together scholars who study nineteenth century photography of architecture. Heavily represented in collections of nineteenth century photographs, architectural photography provides inroads into major themes of the period: industry and technology, exploration and exoticism, documentation and preservation, history and nationalism, etc. However, most histories of photography use the progressive development of the medium as the organizing structure for the presentation of the material. Architecture lent itself to the long exposure times required by the early photographic processes and was used extensively as subject by the first generation of photographers. A genuine understanding of the first decades of architectural photography needs to account for the relevant technical parameters of production but also demands that each photographic image of architecture be studied as a primary visual document and an aesthetic object. It is the investigation of this multi-faceted enquiry that is invited in this symposium on nineteenth-century architectural photography. Abstracts for papers with a thematic approach to the study of nineteenth century photography of architecture are invited from established and junior scholars. Authors of selected papers will have the opportunity to participate in the publication of the symposium proceedings. Some assistance with travel expenses and a modest honorarium are funded for symposium speakers. Please send a 400-word abstracts and a short CV (up to 3 pages) to Micheline Nilsen, Indiana University South Bend, NS033E, 1700 Mishawaka Avenue, South Bend, IN 46634-7111 USA, 001-574-520-4277, e-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Electronic submissions are preferred. Deadline: April 15, 2010. Notification to speakers will be made by May 15, 2010. Final drafts of papers will be requested by September 1, 2010. This project is partially supported by Indiana University's New Frontiers in the Arts & Humanities Program, funded by the Office of the President and administered by the interim Vice President for Research and the Office of the Vice Provost for Research and by the Snite Museum of the University of Notre Dame. __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
