Reading Architecture Across the Arts and Humanities5 décembre 2015Université de Stirling, Royaume UniThe organisers of this one-day multidisciplinary conference seek to solicit proposals for 20-minute papers that consider the creation, expression and representation of architecture, architectural space and the built environment from students and scholars working within all subject-areas across the Arts and Humanities. Papers should seek to address the creation, understanding, circulation and cultural impact of both real and imaginary sites of architectural construction throughout time, either in Britain or in other national and international contexts. Original and creative accounts of how architecture might variously be ‘read’ and interpreted across such disciplines as literature, law, history, art history, heritage studies, politics, film and media studies and philosophy are particularly welcome.Possible topics may include, but are by no means limited to, the following:• Historicism• Responses to, and recreations of, the architectural past• Reflections upon architectural styles and ‘movements’• Assessments of architecture and architectural practices• Representations of architecture in film• Architecture and the law• Antiquarianism and architecture• Architectural ruin and the tourist industry• Architectural conservationism• The politics of architectural form• Literary representations of architecture• Lives of architects• The aesthetics of architectural form• Historiography• Architectural HeritagePlenary Speakers : Rosemary Hill and Olivia Horsfall Turner300-word proposals should be emailed to the conference organisers Dr Dale Townshend and Dr Peter N.
