CALL FOR PAPERS

THROUGH A LEGAL LENS:

LAW, HISTORY AND VISUAL CULTURE

26^th May 2022 (virtual)

WORKSHOP THEME

 

Law is often seen, and indeed often presents itself, as image-less, a text-based discourse. Perhaps for this reason, the use of images in legal historical research is an undervalued and under- researched – if fascinating – area.

This one-day conference aims to encourage the asking of questions, to reflect the growing interest and scholarship in the interdisciplinary field of law, history and visual culture. The conference offers a forum for discussion, debate and the presentation of research.

The organizers are keen to welcome scholars from any stage in their career and, as the conference is held online, submissions are invited from all jurisdictions.

The conference will construe ‘visual culture’ widely, to attract papers from a range of disciplines. With a focus on images in and of law, subjects for papers may include, but are by no means limited to:

·       television, film and theatre,

·       artworks (including sculpture), photography and graffiti,

·       architecture and maps,

·       legal artefacts and objects,

·       clothing and costume associated with the law.

SUBMISSION PROCESS AND ORGANISATION

Submit a 250 word abstract to: Visualimagesconference@northumbria.ac.uk. The deadline for submissions is the 1^st February 2022.

The workshop is organised by Victoria Barnes, Helen Rutherford, Clare Sandford-Couch and Sarah Wilson
