 The University of Oregon Department of the History of Art and Architecture
invites papers for its 10th Annual Graduate Student Research Symposium.
This cross-cultural, interdisciplinary symposium will explore the theme of
“the copy,” interpreted in the broadest sense to include any form of
replication, reproduction, or forgery across all time periods, media and
geographic regions. While both the art market and the art historical
discipline have tended to prioritize the value of the original art object
over its copy, an increasingly globalized society saturated with easily
available reproductions in a variety of media requires us to reconsider the
complex relationship between the copy and its original. Applicants may
consider but are not limited to the cultural, theoretical, historical and
commercial aspects of this topic.

*Potential topics may consider:*

Problems of authenticity, originality, authorship, genius and art-world
commodification

Forgeries, counterfeits and the art market

The copy’s effect on the transmission of artistic ideas, theories and
styles throughout history

Prints and photographic reproductions

Cross-cultural reproduction

Appropriation and the ready-made

Miraculous icons

Digital reproduction, piracy and copyright

Digital art museums

Art education

For consideration, please submit a *250-300 word abstract* and *curriculum
vitae* as PDF attachments to [email protected] by December 20, 2013.
Selected participants will be notified by January 15, 2014, and the full
paper will be due no later than April 11, 2014. We look forward to your
submission.
