Discovering Dalmatia V
Institute of Art History – Cvito Fisković Centre is pleased to announce a call for papers for the international conference of academics and professionals titled Discovering Dalmatia V – The vocabulary of classical architecture and special field terminology, which is set to happen in the City of Split, from 19 Jun until 22 Jun 2019.
The extended deadline for the submission is 22 April 2019. The applicants will be notified about the acceptance of their proposals by 29 April 2019.
It seems that there is no setting more appropriate for debating the terminology of classical architecture than Split, the city that grew out of the ancient structure of the Diocletian’s Palace.
Inspired by the Institute of Art History’s research project “The Glossary of Classical Architecture”, which is financed by the Croatian Science Foundation, we decided that the principal event of this year’s Discovering Dalmatia programme would be an international conference entitled “The Vocabulary of Classical Architecture and Special Field Terminology”.
Our experience in working on a project that unites experts in the fields of art history, architecture, and terminology has clearly demonstrated the importance of interdisciplinary work, and therefore of interdisciplinary gatherings. Consequently, in addition to debates about the terminology of classical architecture, the conference is open to all experts working on terminology, and in keeping with this to several related themes:
• The terminology of classical architecture
• The terminology of classical architecture in Dalmatian dialects/tradition
• Illustrated vocabularies
• Corpus analysis
• Terms in historical context
• Terms in textual context
• Interdisciplinary aspects – synergy of field experts and terminologists
• Other topics connected with special field terminology and terminology of classical architecture
We therefore invite historians in the fields of art, architecture, and literature, as well as all experts working on terminology to send a short CV and an abstract of 250 words to asverko / ipu.hr.
