Venues:\u00a0The\u00a0University\u00a0of\u00a0Alabama,\u00a0Tuscaloosa,\u00a0AL,\u00a0and\u00a0the\u00a0Birmingham\u00a0Museum\u00a0of\u00a0Art, Birmingham, AL<\/p>\n

The symposium “Challenging Empire: Women, Art, and the Global Early Modern World”, part of the project\u00a0Global Makers: Women Artists in the Early Modern Courts of Europe and Asia\u00a0<\/i>(www.globalmakers.ua.edu<\/a>), is intended to extend and expand knowledge of cultural production by and for early modern women \u2013 particularly those associated with the courts \u2013 on a global scale. While numerous conferences, symposia, and resulting publications in the past several decades\u00a0have\u00a0addressed\u00a0women\u00a0as\u00a0producers,\u00a0consumers,\u00a0and\u00a0subjects\u00a0of\u00a0European\u00a0art\u00a0during\u00a0the early modern period (c. 1400-1750), less consideration has been given to women’s roles in the courts \u2013 particularly as informed by the steadily increasing cross-cultural interactions (i.e. between Europe and Asia, the Americas, Africa, etc.) that characterized the period. This symposium aims to address this lacuna whilst simultaneously de-centering the traditional Euro- centric model of study in the analysis of women’s cultural production, presentation, and consumption surrounding courts and empires (institutions associated with ruling power). The goal is to encourage\u00a0a\u00a0more\u00a0equitable\u00a0view\u00a0of\u00a0early modern women’s experiences of and with art globally, across traditionally held national and continental boundaries.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0invite\u00a0paper\u00a0submissions\u00a0from\u00a0scholars\u00a0(including\u00a0advanced\u00a0graduate\u00a0students)\u00a0whose\u00a0work addresses topics including, but not limited to:<\/p>\n

\n

While identifying the “early modern” as the period from c.1400 to 1750, we recognize this datation as a Euro-centric, historiographic concept; therefore, we encourage papers addressing the central themes of the symposium, but with dates that may deviate slightly, especially those problematizing\u00a0epochal\u00a0differences\u00a0in\u00a0varied\u00a0geographical\u00a0and\u00a0cultural\u00a0contexts\u00a0in\u00a0Asia,\u00a0Europe, Africa, the Americas and beyond.<\/p>\n

Following the conference, a selection of papers will be chosen by the organizers for inclusion in a proposed edited volume. A limited number of travel subsidies will also be available for advanced\u00a0graduate\u00a0student\u00a0presenters.\u00a0This\u00a0symposium\u00a0is\u00a0made\u00a0possible\u00a0by\u00a0the\u00a0generous\u00a0support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the Birmingham Museum of Art, the College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Alabama, and the Alabama Digital Humanities Center.<\/p>\n
