| Vytautas Magnus University and Vilnius Academy of Arts continue the series of conferences of Baltic art historians, which were initiated by the Estonian Academy of Art together with the Estonian Association of Art Historians in 2009, and call for proposals for the 2nd conference of Baltic art historians: (Un)blocked Memory: Writing Art History in Baltic Countries. According to French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, the narrative of history is essentially selective; it ‘remembers’ certain events of the past and ‘forgets’ others. Yet ‘forgotten’ or ‘blocked’ memories do not disappear; they settle in the collective unconscious and influence the society’s life from there. The international conference (Un)blocked Memory: Writing Art History in Baltic Countries will focus on research into the arts in three Baltic countries: Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and will offer to look at them through the lens of the problem of memory. During the last several decades, art history has been seriously affected by the ideas of critical historiography; it has been influenced by such new disciplines as culture studies, memory studies, postcolonial studies, etc. encouraging a critical rethinking of art history as an objective narrative about the past. Such self-reflectivity of art history in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – countries that have experienced Soviet occupation – refers not only to the ideas of Western theories, but also to the live historical experience. The rewriting of history, the blocking and liberation of collective memory constantly accompanied the change of political regimes in the twentieth century. In the post-Soviet era, these processes also affect art historical discourse as well as curatorial and museum practices. The participants of the conference are invited to discuss the history of art as a (re)construction of the past influenced by political, economic and ideological factors and by collective memory and imaginary. The conference will consider the construction of the national canons of art history and its change, new challenges in making national narratives, various practices of remembering and blocking memories in art historical texts and museum practices. The aim of the conference is to bring Baltic art historians together and to provide an opportunity to discuss current processes and problems of writing art history in the regional context. Contributions are invited from scholars researching visual culture of various periods in the Baltic countries (architecture, visual arts, photography, film, media art). Suggested topics include: • Creating the canon (how an artist becomes hero, work of art – masterpiece, and exhibition – event) • The image culture and national icons • (Re)writing history, ideology and memory politics • The practices of blocking memory: in the past and now • Ways of (re)writing history: transplanting concepts and theoretical fashions • Dreaming the past: art history and nostalgia • Industries of the global culture and new national narratives Working language of the conference is English. Presentations of the conference will be limited to 20 minutes. Registration form containing abstract (up to 400 words) should be sent to Linara Dovydaityte (l.dovydaityte@mf.vdu.lt) by 15 June 2011. Accepted papers will be notified by 1 July 2011. Selected papers will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Organizers of the conference will provide participants with accommodation.
