H-ASIA December 4, 2013 Conference: Visualising and Materialising Colonial Spaces: British Women's Responses to Empire, University of Warwick, January 11, 2014 ******************************************************************* From: H-Net Announcements <announce@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU> Visualising and Materialising Colonial Spaces: British Women's Responses to Empire Location: United Kingdom Conference Date: 2014-01-11 Date Submitted: 2013-11-18 Announcement ID: 208678 Visualising and Materialising Colonial Spaces: British Women's Responses to Empire. University of Warwick, UK. 11th January 2014. Keynote Speakers: Professor David Arnold (University of Warwick) and Dr Caroline Jordan (La Trobe University) In recent years scholars working in the field of British art history have increasingly broadened their approach to include transnational and imperial topics. Despite such interest, however, little attention has been paid to the gendered nature of such artistic productions. The majority of research on Anglo-Indian visual culture for example, has focused upon work created by men and as yet little research has considered the role of women in the creation and dissemination of visual and material culture. "Visualising and Materialising Colonial Spaces: Female Responses to Empire" demonstrates the significance of womens cultural productions upon ideas of empire at home and abroad by examining the rich visual and archival sources created by British women in imperial spaces. It examines the paintings, sketches, writings, collections, and objects that women created to capture and record their experiences of empire. In doing so it questions the role women played in constructing particular understandings of and narratives about imperial experiences in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
