Calling all c19 art and queer theory ppl! @frankiedytor.bsky.social and I are still welcoming proposals for our #AAH panel on c19 British art after trans studies: see CFP below. #c19 #lgbtqhistory
Call for papers: “The nineteenth century saw profound transformations in how being and embodiment were figured across British culture. Art and science were at the forefront of these changes. As new forms of subjectivity were being formulated, the relationship between the self and the body, and between the body and life itself, were being reconfigured in visual productions and scientific writings alike. These transformations were entangled with new, ambivalent, and profoundly modern ways of thinking about gender, sexuality, form, and the nature and limits of the human. In Victorian art, the body was opened up to forces and flows which constituted and exceeded it.
This panel invites papers which centre trans studies as a lens through which to explore these turbulent transformations in nineteenth-century art. What modes of…”“… embodiment, being, or becoming come into view when Victorian visual culture is approached via trans theory? What kinds of subjects and materials come to matter differently? What are the uses of transness— attuned to transition, indeterminacy, multiplicity, and bodily change—as a theoretical and historical framework?
We invite 20-minute papers exploring British art (broadly conceived) in the long nineteenth century through the lens of trans theory and/or from trans perspectives. Topics might include, but are not limited to:
• The (un) making of the human; nonhuman bodies; monstrosity; animality
• Ecology, metamorphosis, bodies and environments
• Racialization of sex, gender, and embodiment
• Coloniality of gender; imperialism and difference
• Transness and disability; mutable, prosthetic, and anomalous bodies
• Fairytales, folklore, myth, and transformation
• Spirituality and immaterial bodies
• Sexology and medical imaging”
