The 5th Annual CUNY Graduate Center Art History Student Symposium
invites papers to be submited for:
 
CRITICAL SPEED
The project of this symposium is to work toward a concept of speed as
it intersects with visual culture. Speed can be seen as a value that
is increasingly prioritized in contemporary society, and yet it has
existed in various forms throughout history. The desire for speed
relates to practices of exchange, communication and production. As an
abstract entity, it funcetions within visual , conceptual, and
ideological fields and has critical (both positive and negarive)
repercussions and by-products. Papers from all disciplines
(including, but not limited to Art History, Architecture, Film, Fine
Arts, Theater, and Sociology) may deal with:
*Acceleration of communication/dissemination of culture
*Linguistic vs. visual models
*Fragmentation of the object/suject
*Commodification of culture: art as entertainment
*Collapsing borders: travel & acculturation
*Methodoloigies and notions of progress/regress
*Colonization of space and economics
*Cult of the machine and modern optimism
*Issues of corporeal mutability/preservation
*Society of the spectacle & the contemporary flaneur
*Stopping time: the still in film, photograhy&painting.
*Changing fashions: clothing, cars and ideology
*Political mobilization & visual culture
*Privileging motion in design
