1. Museos de Europa Central 1850-1939
   Número especial del journal CENTROPA. Questions to be addressed will include: 1. What ideological impulses gave rise to the foundation of museums across central Europe? 2. What were the ideological implications of their collecting and exhibition policies? 3. How did their functions and meanings change between 1850 and 1939? 4. How did individual museums position themselves in relation to other institutions? In particular, what was the impact of the major institutions in, the Habsburg centres of Vienna and Budapest on museums elsewhere in central Europe? 5. What role did museums elsewhere across Europe play in shaping museological practice in central Europe? 6. What role did museums play in the wider development of civil society and embourgeoisement? Did they promote alternative social and political visions? Proposals are invited for papers addressing one or more of these questions. Papers may wish to discuss the museums of design, art galleries or ethnographic museums established after 1850, or they may wish to examine the metamorphoses of older institutions, such as regional museums (‘Landesmuseen’) or the courtly collections. Please submit a 300-400 word proposal to Matthew Rampley (matthew.rampley@gmail.com) by 31st May 2010.
2. Aspiraciones utópicas en el arte y la arquitectura // Utopian Aspirations in Art and Architecture
   The desire to radically transform the physical and social experience of one's surroundings through the convergence of visual art, architecture, and technological innovation is a defining avant-garde trope. Visionary modernist movements, ranging from Italian Futurism and Russian Constructivism to the Bauhaus, were followed in the post-World War II period by a proliferation of techno-inflected futures proposed by such pioneering figures as Buckminster Fuller, Constant, and Archigram How are these social and political issues reflected or subverted in the works produced? What are the aims and potential pitfalls of such socially engaged undertakings today? Papers that advance understanding of the relationship between utopian ideologies central to modernism and the critical negotiation of that legacy by contemporary practitioners from across the globe are also invited. Send proposals by April 20, 2010 to: Meredith Malone, Washington University in St. Louis, meredith_malone@wustl.edu N.

3. COLD WAR CULTURES
   Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives Conference at the University of Texas at Austin September 30 - October 3, 2010 Call for Papers Deadline: April 1, 2010 If war is the continuation of politics by other means, then Cold War politics can be seen as a continuation of war by other means. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to explore these means in the context of global encounters between states and "Blocs" as well as engagements with "East" and "West." Indeed, after the end of the Second World War, a new kind of "war" continued and expanded as governments and/or interest groups created and continually reshaped institutions, media, popular culture, and various elements of social and political life. Globally, these broad-based transformations took place in the shadow of Cold War politics, especially as expressed through rhetoric of threat and mutual annihilation. In particular, cultural phenomena shaped by Cold War power conflicts take on myriad forms in a host of geographic contexts, both in and outside the Bloc, from iconic public representations to distinctive media advertising, memorable political speeches, world expositions, spy novels and films, and a plethora of official and popular modes of expression. In some places, of course, military or paramilitary conflagrations translated Cold War politics into "hot" wars, which further fuelled the fire of Cold War imaginations. We invite proposals for individual 20-minute papers that explore any geographic area or disciplinary field of Cold War studies, as well as contributions that might engage the notion the of "Cold War" theoretically. Full panels of three papers may also be proposed. Cold War Cultures: Interdisciplinary and Transnational Perspectives is a three-day conference at the University of Texas at Austin planned as the culmination of a series of events held in Fall, 2010, on the campus. These events will include the conference, several keynote speeches by international and local scholars, and a film series; more details to come. Because of the generosity of our sponsors, all events will be free of charge and open to the public. Email the organizing committee: coldwarcultures@gmail.com
4. ¿A quién le importa quién ve? // Who Cares Who Sees? El problema de la audiencia en el arte contemporáneo // The Problem of Audiences in Contemporary Art
   Barthes reasoned that the unity of the text was not at its origin the author--"but in its destination"--the audience. This session aims to analyze this largely held assumption about the death of the author and the birth of the audience. Although this view has held ground for nearly fifty years, does it make sense? Papers will revisit the history of intention and anti-intentionalism, and ask whether, and how, the viewer of a work is relevant to its meaning.
5. Utopía, Distopia y Teoría Crítica. Universidad de Sussex, 13 mayo del 2010

6. La pervivencia de Aby Warburg
   Fecha límite 15 de mayo 2010 ABY WARBURG'S SURVIVANCE Meaning and Destiny of a Critical Iconology For the last ten years years, Aby Warburg's work experience an obvious new interest. France is involved in this tendency even if the writings and intuitions of the Hamburg's Art History expert have been unknown for a long period of time. This is the reason why until now no major event has been programmed in France to reevaluate the proposals of the "Critical Iconology" creator. This conference would like to palliate this absence, looking widely to the multiple faces of a polymorphous work and fixing the state of the Research on his own accomplishments. If there is a place to talk about a "Warburg's Survivance", is precisely to outlook in one gesture, the former originality and the actual fecundity of a thought including the re-definition of the images, the art history frame and also the invention of new motifs and figures. Following the idea of his interpretative method, which supposes a movement into the time and the space, this conference, held jointly by the University Michel de Montaigne/Bordeaux3, the Institut National d'histoire de l'art and the Ecole des hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, will show up in two different periods as well as in two different places: the City of Bordeaux during the fall 2010 and the city of Paris during the spring 2011. Proposals should be a maximum of 300 words long and should include the following: - Family name and first name of authors (s) - Short resume and selected bibliography - Titles(s), function(s) and home institution(s) - Contact information (mailing address, telephone number, e-mail) Paper title and main arguments Languages : proposals may be in French or English, communications in French, English, German or Italian. Please send your proposals by email (in a Word attachment) to: sabineforero@yahoo.fr bertrand.prevost3@wanadoo.fr

Luego les seguirán otros países de la región. Los bicentenarios coinciden con el creciente impacto de la crisis económica mundial y el recambio de varios gobiernos nacionales en América Latina. Esta circunstancia constituye una oportunidad histórica para la reflexión, la acción y el diseño de nuevos caminos para el desarrollo, la inclusión y la justicia social en la región. A diferencia de la 1ra Convocatoria Internacional, que incluyó comparaciones con las conmemoraciones centenarias de los países latinoamericanos, esta se enfoca exclusivamente en los Bicentenarios. El objetivo de esta convocatoria es aunar esfuerzos para comprender cómo las conmemoraciones bicentenarias son afectadas por los importantes procesos económicos, políticos y sociales en curso y cómo a su vez los Bicentenarios afectan estos procesos. Los cinco autores premiados presentarán su trabajo en una conferencia internacional en México en 2011. Los trabajos premiados y las menciones serán publicados en un libro en 2011.

11. Museos del Oriente Medio
    CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS The 2A Magazine Spring 2010 issue #13 focusses on Museums of and in the Middle East Museums of the Middle East [Muses of the Orient] Museums at the beginnings of the western world were temples to the Muses, the nine young goddesses who presided over the arts, literature and the sciences. Early museums began as private collections of individuals and institutions housing objects of scientific, artistic or historical importance for public viewing through exhibits. In the museum, the object, in many cases removed in time, place and circumstance from its original context, becomes a communicative tool that represents the past and its significance in relation to the present. This representation makes the museum a unique place, a hybrid space of diverse outcomes that distinguish content from surface. Submission date Full article submissions (text and high resolution images): 1 March 2010 Article length: maximum 3000 words Submission format and email All text to be in MS Word format and all images in jpeg format to: info@2amagazine.com and gkatodrytis@aus.edu
12. Número especial de Parallax sobre "El entusiasmo"
    Parallax 59 Enthusiasm // Submission deadline: 31 August 2010 This issue of parallax wishes to contribute to a study of enthusiasm as a transsubjective force enabling the collective body to recognize itself through the very plasticity of its senses. If, as Rancière suggests, revolution lies in the possibility of changing not only laws and institutions, but the very sensory forms of human experience, we would like to propose a choreographic understanding of affects and vital energies which register the bodies' motility in order to draw attention to what there is in common among the subjects of emancipation. Contributors are invited to investigate manifestations of enthusiasm in collective aesthetic practices, such as literary, cinematic, political, sexual, technological, psychic and ritual, but also to consider how enthusiasm might relate to, or differ from elation, exaltation, ecstasy, fanaticism, and fandom. Potential Contributors are encouraged to contact: Francesco Ventrella parallax Centre for Cultural Studies School of Fine Arts, History of Art and Cultural Studies Old Mining Building University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT

17. Architectural Objects (Leeds, 24-25 Jun 10)
    Association of Art Historians Student Summer Symposium Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, 24 - 25 June 2010 Call for Student Papers *Architectural Objects* Discussing Spatial Form Across Art Histories The 'spatial turn' in the history of art has had a significant impact on the understanding of artistic practice and the built environment, and the formal and political complexities of space in a broader sense. This symposium explores the role of architectural theory and practice within multiple art histories, working across theoretical and aesthetic categories to redefine notions of space and form. From Tatlin's Monument to the Third International, to the spatial environments of LeCorbusier and Robert Morris, this interrelationship has challenged and reconfigured canonic divisions between architecture, ornament, sculpture and performance. Within a global perspective, the 'architectural object' can be traced throughout many histories of cultural production, demonstrated within the sculpted interiors of temples and mosques, the conceptual forms of the stupa or reliquary, or the use of decorative 'architectura' within ornamental schemes. Keynote speakers include former Leverhulme Fellow Dr. Richard Checketts and former Henry Moore Foundation Fellow Dr. David Hulks. *Architectural Objects is hosted in collaboration with the Henry Moore Institute's *Hermann Obrist exhibition, marking the wide-ranging Œspatial¹ production of the prolific architect, sculptor and designer. Deadline for Paper Proposals: extended to 28 February 2010 To submit a proposal for this session please send a paper abstract no longer than 300 words, along with CV to: Session Conveners: Lara Eggleton, University of Leeds: laraeve8@gmail.com Rosalind McKever, Kingston University: rosalind.mckever@gmail.com

20. ON NOT LOOKING: ESSAYS ON IMAGES AND VIEWERS
    Submissions are invited for an edited book with the working title On Not Looking: Essays on Images and Viewers. Contemporary experience presents us with a contradiction: while we are at a historical moment when images have never been so readily available and circulated, we increasingly "don't look" at images. The collection will explore the myriad ways that not looking at images - as opposed to not seeing - is manifest in our burgeoning image culture today. Contributions are sought that address practices and representations of "not looking," "turning away," and other manifestations of physical and mental distraction from material images. Our relationship to the glut of images that saturate the world is characterized by an ever-expanding contemporary form of iconoclasm. Again and again, while documentary images are touted as a reliable form of visible evidence, or as commensurate with the every day life they depict - due to their apparent mimeticism and their potential to be seen simultaneous with the event - we don't trust them, we question them, we continually go back to written words as a way of understanding and confirming what we have seen. This scepticism involves a looking away from the image. Even as the means of production become increasingly available, even as images are exhibited, published, seen and watched everywhere, we are either discouraged to turn away, or we are unable, or unwilling to look at what is pictured before us. All inquiries, and/or 400-500 word abstract, and current CV can be sent to Frances Guerin: fjguerin@gmail.com by December 15, 2009. Full essays of 5,000-7,500 words will be due September 30, 2010
