2020 Presidential Session: The Carbon Footprint of ASECS: What to Do?
Thursday, 4:50–5:50
Organizer: Jeffrey S. RAVEL, MIT
ASECS can no longer ignore its contributions to climate change. Given the rapidly increasing rate of natural disasters around the globe, each of us has an ethical responsibility to reduce their carbon footprint. We will all have to make painful sacrifices to repair the damage already done to the environment. ASECS has one built-in advantage that we can leverage—our roster of regional affiliate societies. We might, for example, hold the annual meeting every other year, and then encourage attendance at the meetings of the regional societies in years when we did not convene the national meeting. For both the national and regional conferences, we might build a more robust remote system that would allow members without funding or those who do not wish to travel by plane or car to participate virtually. In this session, the chair would like to start a conversation with all concerned members of the Society about responsible steps ASECS can take going forward.

The 37th James L. Clifford Memorial Lecture
Anne LAFONT, École des hautes études en sciences sociales de Paris (EHESS), Winckelmann Congo: Blackness in the Age of White Marble
Saturday, 11:30–12:30
Presiding: Melissa HYDE, University of Florida

This lecture will address the rise of African Art History—in the broadest sense—during the long eighteenth-century. During this period, notions of African art and its history were entangled with the idea of diasporic Africa or Blackness, as conceptualized by a diverse ensemble of European textual sources, most of them not concerned with art. The line of argument to be pursued here is that many of these early modern texts, ought, nonetheless, to be understood as a historical discourse on art—whether they describe African geography, natural history or commerce; narrate African history or catalogue its objects in Cabinets de Curiosités. Of course, these narratives, which are more or less connected with African material culture and ritual performances, eventually would be articulated in art theoretical publications properly speaking, as eighteenth-century authors such as abbé du Bos or Winckelmann began to include Africa in their ambition to write a comprehensive, comparative art history grounded on a climatic explanation of style. This approach to art history understood artistic style, form and content as products of the natural climate and atmosphere in which art was created. Recent scholarship has demonstrated the centrality of Whiteness to archeology’s emergence in the mid-eighteenth century. Adding to our understanding of the racial implications of whiteness and color in art history, this lecture will show, how, at the very same historical moment, Blackness was being constructed, both as a counterpart to Whiteness but also, more generally as a means of inscribing African rites and objects into the domain of European Fine Arts.

The Clifford Lecture series honors James L. Clifford, founder of the Johnsonian News-Letter, biographer of Samuel Johnson, and third President of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies. The first lecture was presented in 1984 and since 1987 the Clifford Lecture has been delivered at every ASECS Annual Meeting.

Sunday, 5:10–6:10
Chairs: Erica HAYES, Villanova University, and Kacie WILLS, Illinois College
This workshop will provide participants with the technical skills to align geographic coordinates to a digitized historical map from the eighteenth century in order to create a georeferenced historical map.
