The Challenge of Place and Planet
How can art history reconcile methods developed through the study of a particular national culture with the impetus to engage on local, translocal, global and planetary scales? The challenge of scale and scalability is well-known within environmental humanities as a whole but when art historical accounts are dominated by both atomised individual practices or national boundaries, familiar methodological approaches seem strained or perhaps redundant now. We will seek to include global methods including indigenous approaches worldwide, and how to deal with positionality and fieldwork.
Confirmed Speakers: Sria Chatterjee, Maura Coughlin, Emily Gephart, Dee-nin D. Lee, CC McKee, Astrida Neimanis, James Nisbet, Jeannine Tang.
