The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities
Research invites abstracts that address the
relationship of visual culture to other forms of human
expression and thought. Presentations may address
aspects of image production and image reception in the
humanities, whether the image be printed, projected,
digitized, rendered artistically, imagined, or
destroyed. Topics may include exploration of pictorial
as opposed to written or oral expression; the ways in
which images may fill interstices in language, music,
and thought; the centrality of different forms of
picture making in human history, society, and culture.
We encourage papers that range across the spectrum
from detailed case studies to theoretical syntheses.
The Glasscock Center particularly encourages proposals
that will appeal to an interdisciplinary humanities
audience. Abstracts of up to 500 words should be sent,
along with a 2-page cv, to the following address by
Friday, 23 September 2004:
