Reuse Reconsidered Conference, Brown University, September 15-17, 2017

Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Brown University
Deadline: Fri, April 14th, 2017

Spolia. Appropriation. Palimpsests. Afterlives…These terms, and others, have been employed by scholars across disciplines to describe the reuse of architecture and material culture. This conference aims to advance current scholarship by exploring some of these terms and unpacking the phenomenon throughout history and across cultures. It seeks to unite scholars, from graduate students to senior faculty members, that study a variety of time periods, cultures, and types of reuse. This cross-disciplinary conference will explore the complex and multivalent motivations behind the reuse of cultural heritage. It will also seek to expand how we understand the phenomenon of cultural identity in relationship to the appropriation, and reimaging of the past.

Abstracts (up to 300 words) for 20 minute papers and a CV should be sent to: Reuse.Reconsidered@gmail.com by April 14, 2017. Any questions or requests for more details should be addressed Lia Dykstra at Reuse.Reconsidered@gmail.com
