POSTING:

THE ARTIST IN AN AGE OF IMPERIAL CULTURE: CAREERS IN THE EARLY MODERN PERIOD

JUNE 1�24, 1998

UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA


The Artist in an Age of Imperial Culture: Careers in the Early Modern
Period will offer an introduction to this neglected topic in English and
European humanities curricula, focusing primarily on literary careers and
secondarily on the careers of visual artists. By highlighting the figure
of the artist shaping a career amid the constraints of imperial culture,
the institute will form the first attempt to establish a baseline on which
future work may proceed.

The institute will be open to fifteen qualified participants. Each
participant must be either a faculty member at an accredited college or
university, or a graduate student from an accredited college or university
attending the institute with a faculty mentor. All participants must hold
at least a master of arts degree or its equivalent.

The institute seeks to attract a wide audience, including (1) teachers and
scholars of the early modern period who want to learn of current trends
and research possibilities in this area; (2) specialists in classics, art
history, history, Italian, French, Spanish, and English, as well as other
languages, who wish to study texts from their respective disciplines and
who then wish to broaden their study through a comparative and
interdisciplinary framework; (3) teachers of the humanities who wish to
incorporate the topic of English and European careers in their courses;
(4) teachers in other periods�such as medieval or eighteenth-century�who
wish to understand the historical tradition that the institute will
examine.
