Discovering Dalmatia IV
"DISCOVERING DALMATIA. The integration of knowledge concerning Dalmatia’s Historical Urban Landscape"
Institute of Art History – Cvito Fisković Centre
Split, November 21-24, 2018
The Discovering Dalmatia conference, to be held in November 2018 at the Institute of Art History – The Cvito Fisković Centre in Split, is the fourth instalment related to the interdisciplinary project entitled Dalmatia – a destination of the European Grand Tour in the 18th and the 19th century, run by the Institute of Art History. The project began in 2014 with the support of the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ). This year, alongside the traditional papers dedicated to the integration of knowledge about Dalmatia’s historical urban landscape, based on the travel writing of artists and scientists who visited it over the course of their travels, we would like to open the conference to another group of themes.
This year, we have been inspired by the Institute’s new project, The Vocabulary of Classical Architecture, which is supported by the HRZZ in collaboration with the Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistics, to dedicate a part of the conference to researching variations in terminology relating to historical architectural forms in Dalmatia.
We therefore invite historians in the fields of art, architecture, and literature, as well as other scholars whose work focuses on travel writing, Grand Tourism, and local terminologies used to describe space to send a short CV and an abstract of 250 words to asverko / ipu.hr.
