SUMMARY: CFP: Production, Transmission & Interpretation
DESCRIPTION: Production, Transmission & InterpretationAn interdisciplinary conference on Islamic Art, Architecture, History and Archaeology14th and 15th March, 2024With keynote addresses by Professor Robert Hillenbrand and Professor Marcus MilwrightIslamic time begins with the Hijra; the integral responsibilities of every Muslim include the Hajj; and studies of Islamic history have traditionally followed military marches and commercial/cultural corridors that enabled the creation of the great gunpowder empires. More recently, mobility has also been manifested in the Islamic world in the fall of these empires, movement of their materials through loots and repatriations, and voluntary and forced migrations. Until recently, these themes have been predominantly researched divorced from Islam through incongruous positivist lenses and euro-centric canons, and often with underlying colonial agendas.It is with the aim to intervene within and disrupt this context that the Department of History of Art and the Department of Archaeology at the University of York present Production, Transmission, & Interpretation, a conference on Islamic Art, Architecture, History, and Archaeology. Foregrounding the voices of the historically marginalised, founded in material cultural narratives, and focussed on new sources and methodologies, this conference will bring together the latest research from scholars  doctoral to emeriti  and draw upon a range of cognate disciplines across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, to consider 1400 years of the Islamic world and society.Submission GuidelinesWe welcome abstract submissions intended to culminate into the standard format of 20-minute in-person academic paper presentations and invite applications from across disciplines, including art and architectural history, archaeology, conservation, heritage management, curation, museum studies and cultural studies, on themes that may includeIslamic heartlands, hinterlands, and frontiersArt and architecture of mobility, routes, travels, and transfersPatronage - imperial, sub-imperial, male, female, and non-binaryAgency of architects, artists, and craftspersonsSources  oral histories, local archives, epigraphy, calligraphy, endangered languages Archaeological material, bioarchaeological approaches, and conservationIslamic approaches past and present to nature, culture, environment and sustainabilityConflicts, occupations, appropriations and adaptationsIslamic art markets  auctions, ethics, legislationsAbstracts should be limited to 250 words, indicate the target thematic cluster, and be accompaniedby the researcher's name, in institutional affiliation and storage of study, location, and a brief biography not exceeding 100 words.Deadline for proposal submission is 31 December, 2023.All abstracts should be sent as pdf attachments to hist592@york.ac.ukIf you have any questions, please email Parshati Dutta (parshati.dutta@york.ac.uk) or Nausheen Hoosein (nausheen.hoosein@york.ac.uk).Conversations are underway with leading university presses to publish a thematic edited volume of papers presented, therefore please declare if the material has been used before, and if not, whether you would be interested in publishing with us.A limited number of travel bursaries may be provided.
