This session at Association for Art History 2019 Annual Conference will examine the intersections of body culture and visual culture across time, encompassing notation, performance and experimental scores, photographic documentation, film, and other archival sources. Rather than focusing on rubrics traditionally understood as dance, such as choreography and performance designed for time-limited showings, we seek papers that examine body and movement as an expanded field of practice, and how that fits within, emerges out of, and/or shapes a particular social and historical context.
Along with papers, this session welcomes alternative format proposals such as performance, workshop, re-enactment, oral history, sub-panel with practitioners. Please Provide a title and abstract (250 words maximum) for a 25-minute presentation, your name and institutional affiliation (if any). Please make sure the title is concise and reflects the contents of the paper because it will appear online, in social media and in the printed programme.
