Art History and Nationalism during the 19th Century (Tallinn, 27-28 Sep 13) Institute of Art History, Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn, Sep 27–28, 2013 Registration deadline: Sep 20, 2013 Kristina Jõekalda The Institute of Art History of the Estonian Academy of Arts is organizing a seminar entitled „De- bating German Heritage: Art History and Nationalism during the Long 19th Century“ together with the Estonian Graduate School of Culture Studies and Arts. It will be held at the Institute of Art History, Estonian Academy of Arts, Tallinn (Suur-Kloostri 11, auditoria 103 and 104) on 27th–28th September 2013. Keynote speakers are Prof. Hubert Locher (Philipp University of Marburg) and Prof. Winfried Speitkamp (University of Kassel). This 2-day intensive seminar will focus on the research on heritage and knowledge production that has become a distinct direction in the humanities of recent decades, often intermingled with studies on nationalism. Constructing knowledge (incl. historiography), heritage or nations indeed has many similarities. Moreover, in their present form, the discipline of art history, the institution of heritage protection, and nationalism as such were all born during – or at least strongly affected by – the 19th century. The aim of this seminar would be to take full advantage of the inter- and transnational character of these ideas in the course of the long 19th century, when the national perspectives were only beginning to emerge and today’s state borders did not yet define the objects of research. With a focus on the Baltic region, as well as the heritage of German (medie- val) art and architecture elsewhere in (Eastern) Europe, this comparative event seeks to approach questions of dissonance and (dis)inheritance.
