The Cultural History of Cartography
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 25-26 October 2012

This two-day interdisciplinary symposium on the cultural history of cartography intends to facilitate discussion among scholars of history, art history, literary criticism, area studies, and architecture and urban planning. To develop comparative modes of inquiry, each panel will address specific concerns across geographical spaces and temporal periods. Topics include the relations of mapmaking, map reception, and map use to perception, fantasy, temporality, indigeneity, travel, migration, the slave trade, colonialism, citizenship, costume books, and poetry and drama. The symposium is free and open to the public.

Tillot e i Ministri delle Arti nell’Europa dei Lumi
Parma e Colorno, 25-27 October 2012

Convegno organizzato da Gianfranco Fiaccadori, Alessandro Malinverni, e Carlo Mambriani

A due anni di distanza dalle celebrazioni in onore della duchessa di Parma Luisa Elisabetta di Borbone, la Fondazione Cariparma, in collaborazione con il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile, Ambiente, territorio e Architettura dell’Università di Parma, prosegue l’approfondimento della storia dei ducati parmensi nel Settecento, attraverso un doppio appuntamento dedicato al ministro riformatore Guglielmo Du Tillot e al suo ruolo nello sviluppo delle arti a Parma negli anni Sessanta.

L’evento, che prepara e apre la mostra, è il convegno internazionale di studi Guglielmo Du Tillot e i ministri delle arti nell’Europa dei Lumi, articolato su tre giorni: 25 ottobre (Biblioteca Palatina), 26 ottobre (Reggia di Colorno) e 27 ottobre (Università, Aula dei Filosofi). Il convegno offrirà una panoramica esaustiva del secondo decennio di dominazione borbonica a Parma e un raffronto tra i principali ministri delle arti in Europa. Di storia, letteratura, pittura, musica, architettura e urbanistica, arti decorative e costume tratteranno una trentina di studiosi, afferenti a centri di ricerche e atenei italiani ed esteri.

New Perspectives on the Romantic Period
Tate Britain, London, 6 -7 November 2012

Registration deadline: 26 October 2012

A student-led conference in association with the Tate Research Centre: British Romantic Art

The Tate Research Centre: British Romantic Art aims to promote research on British art from around 1770 to 1850. Tate’s collection of watercolours and drawings, and major holdings of the work of William Blake and John Constable is among the greatest in the world. With a special focus on Blake, Constable and Turner, the Centre offers a programme of events and activities aimed at encouraging research on these artists and on the Romantic era as a whole, as well as the legacy of Romantic art and culture in Britain and around the world.

This two-day conference, organised by PhD students in collaboration with Tate, will feature papers by British and international post-graduates working on the Romantic period with contributions focusing on British art and visual culture of the period c.1770–1850. Papers will offer new perspectives on the iconic artists of the Romantic period: Turner, Constable, Blake, David Wilkie, Edwin Landseer, John Sell Cotman, John Martin, James Barry and Benjamin Robert Haydon, all of whom are represented in the Tate collection. Themes under discussion in the conference will include the material concerns of artists, examining the use of different media artists’ multidisciplinary interests and approaches, and their self-representation and identity, as well as landscape and travel, political and religious themes, and cross-period connections.

The conference will make use of Tate Britain’s resources, with the chance to get up close to works in the collection and see items that are rarely shown in public. Attendance to the conference is free and open to current students. Places are limited, so please book early to secure a place: newperspectives@tate.org.uk

Looking Ahead: The Future of the Country House
The Attingham Trust 60th Anniversary Conference
The Royal Geographical Society, London, 12-13 October 2012

◊  ◊  ◊  ◊  ◊

The Attingham Trust celebrates its sixtieth anniversary with a conference considering the current state of historic houses and house museums across three continents, in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, the United States and Australia. With the generous support of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art speakers from each of those countries discuss successful current developments as well as the varying problems that each country faces – including the rapid decline of the traditional house museum in the USA, the attempts to preserve houses in the Republic of Ireland, and the developing role of the historic house in Australian conservation. The British country house is studied from the point of view of private and public owners including impressive case studies and depressing cuts in funding, and illuminated from an academic, curatorial and dramatic perspective, from Nikolaus Pevsner to Downton Abbey.

This conference is open to all (alumni and non-­‐alumni) and promises to be a very stimulating event and we hope to see as many of you there as possible. The cost of the conference is £55 per day, to include all refreshments. The programme, a booking form and our Paypal link (if you wish to pay this way) can be found on the Conference page of our website. Alternative payment methods are detailed on the booking form. NB: Every booking and payment must be accompanied by a fully-­‐ completed and returned booking form.

There will be a special rate of £30 per day for students (under-­‐graduate and post-­‐graduate) studying History of Art, Architecture, Heritage Studies or a related subject. Places are limited. Please apply stating your place of study and subject.

There will be an alumni event on the Friday evening at the House of Lords. A ticket for this event is included with attendance on at least one day of the conference. If you are an alumnus and unable to come to the conference but want to come to the evening event, you are extremely welcome but please note that you will need to purchase a ticket for £55. Places at this event are limited so please apply for a ticket from Rebecca Parker sooner rather than later. For all further enquiries please contact Rebecca Parker at rebecca.parker@attinghamtrust.org or +44 20 7253 9057.

Le Commerce du Luxe – Le Luxe du Commerce: Production, Exposition et Circulation
Musée Gadagne, Lyon, 21-23 November 2012

Le colloque international pluridisciplinaire Le commerce du luxe – Le luxe du commerce, organisé par le LARHRA (UMR 5190 Laboratoire de Recherche Historique Rhône-Alpes), se tiendra aux musées Gadagne, 1 place du petit Collège, à Lyon, les mercredi 21, jeudi 22 et vendredi 23 novembre 2012. Tant par le sujet, la date que le lieu choisis, le colloque prendra place, à part entière, dans les manifestations de l’Automne de la soie 2012. Nous voulons exprimer ainsi, de manière visible, l’engagement des historiens de l’Université de Lyon dans la valorisation de l’héritage des industries de la soie, industrie de luxe s’il en est, une des richesses emblématiques de la métropole rhodanienne.

Ces industries ont en effet fortement participé à la structuration de l’espace régional par les flux de capitaux, de matières et d’hommes qu’elles ont générés autour de la métropole lyonnaise dans une vaste zone couvrant totalement ou partiellement les départements de l’actuelle région Rhône-Alpes et même au-delà. Elles ont contribué à l’adaptation progressive des populations aux exigences de l’industrie, à l’accumulation de savoir-faire et au développement de l’esprit d’entreprise. Enfin, le commerce des soieries et celui des soies, dont les horizons ont très tôt dépassé les limites nationales, ont été des facteurs majeurs de l’ouverture de Lyon et de la région Rhône-Alpes aux horizons internationaux.

ARGUMENTAIRE

Comment se produisent, s’exposent, se diffusent et se consomment les produits du luxe ? Le but du colloque est de revenir sur la question de la spécialisation progressive d’un commerce voué aux objets précieux qui concourent à l’embellissement de la personne ou du cadre de vie. Il entend être une manifestation largement ouverte d’un point de vue chronologique, spatial et disciplinaire, faisant appel à des spécialistes d’horizons différents.

Cette approche interdisciplinaire du marché du luxe sur la longue durée, de la fin du Moyen Age à nos jours, permettra de confronter les expériences et de mettre en relief les permanences et les mutations. Le luxe a souvent été cantonné aux productions des beaux-arts ; il s’agira ici de montrer la richesse et la diversité de ce qui était (et reste) compris sous cette appellation et d’observer comment se sont progressivement mis en place des marchés spécialisés. Ce colloque développera trois approches spécifiques: la circulation spatiale du luxe (marchands et marchandises), l’économie du luxe (concevoir, produire, vendre), les circulations sociales du luxe (luxe et demi-luxe).

From The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland:

London’s Huguenot Heritage: A Colloquium in Honour of Robin Gwynn
Orange Street Congregational Church, London, 6 October 2012

Robin Gwynn is one of the most prolific and capable historians of the Huguenots in England, dealing (among other things) with patterns of migration, the nature of the Huguenot community, and the relationship between the Huguenots and their fellow citizens.  He has also sought to integrate the findings of his detailed research into a coherent overall picture, and to highlight the contribution of the refugees to English life, which (he has suggested) has traditionally been underestimated. Much of Dr Gwynn’s work has been on Huguenots in London, which makes London’s Huguenot Heritage an appropriate title for a conference to celebrate his achievements.

The conference takes place on Saturday, 6 October 2012, starting at 10:00am at the Orange Street Congregational Church, the site of the former Leicester Fields French Church (Orange Street, London WC2H 7HR). For details and a booking form click here»

Castles and Manor Houses in the Baltic Sea Region: Components of a European Cultural Heritage
Greifswald, 3-6 October 2012

The post-medieval castles and manors, up to the present, are a central piece of the cultural landscape of the Baltic Sea region. They are spread over altogether 10 countries: Germany, Poland, Russian region Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The central theme of the symposium (Schlösser und Gutshäuser in der Ostseeregion: Bausteine einer Europäischen Kulturlandschaft) will be the characteristic architecture of castles and manor houses in the Baltic Sea region from the early modern period to the present. Furthermore the symposium will focus on history and cultural history. The functional, sociological and political differences and similarities of the manors of the landed gentry in the different countries will be analysed as well as the cooperation of architects and other artists. It will be examined if there is a transcultural history of art of castles and manor houses in the Baltic Sea region and, finally, how the reception and adoption of castles and manors in the different countries is proceeding.

We Need to Talk about ‘Things’: Concluding Colloquium
CRASSH, University of Cambridge, 27-28 September 2012

This year CRASSH has hosted a Graduate Research Group concerned with ‘Things: Material Cultures of the Long Eighteenth Century’. Our speakers have considered specific eighteenth-century objects ranging from coins to ships, porcelain to plants, from different disciplinary perspectives. We have discussed how these objects allow us to tell complex. inter-disciplinary stories about consumption, production and display in this period.  This colloquium pulls together the speakers and themes that have defined the series. The day will consist of several papers with invited responses, as well as space for discussion. The colloquium is preceded by a keynote lecture by Professor Ludmilla Jordanova  on Thursday evening, Talking about Things.

Both keynote lecture and colloquium talks on Friday 28 September are open to everyone. The lecture is free to attend and no registration is required. However, registration is required for the colloquium. The fee is £20 (including lunch and refreshments at the colloquium) with a reduced £10 charge for students. For information about the event and the graduate research group please contact Katy Barrett or Sophie Waring.
