CALL FOR PAPERS
“ART AND RESILIENCE”
The Journal of Art History and Museum Studies, Issue No. 1, Spring 2021
This past year has been one of the most difficult years in recent human history and memory. People around the world have tried to cope with loss, illness, social and political upheaval, and fear on a scale comparable to major world wars, plagues, depressions, and natural disasters of the past. But, as in all times of trial and tragedy, people worldwide have also shown their resilience — their abilities to find light in the darkness — in the face of very little about which to feel resilient.
Throughout history, in the best of moments and perhaps even more so in the worst, art — and the artists who have created it — have responded to lives thrown into chaos and conflict, offering not merely their unique reflections upon trauma but also offering refuge from, historical documentation of, and methods for coping through it.
In this call for papers, the Journal of Art History and Museum Studies (JAHMS) seeks essays exploring the theme of "Art and Resilience" applied broadly over time, media, and geography. The scope of this themed issue is purposefully broad, as humans (and artists among them) have shown strength through the obstacles life has placed before them and their communities and the world for as long as art has been produced.
Suggested topics and approaches may include, but are not limited to:
· Cultural, political, social, historical, or physical reconstruction, repair, reparations, and re-building
· Histories of warfare, revolutions, civil rights movements, and/or moments of social crisis and upheaval
· Overcoming and processing loss or trauma
· Remembrance, monuments, and memorializations of the past and the present
· Art as a means of catharsis or care in relation to physical, mental, or emotional health, illness, or disability
· Forming community and finding new ways of being together in moments of hardship
· Using the space of art, art history, and museums to imagine new futures
