Call for Papers
Taylor Sheridan’s Wests
Call for participation in a one-day conference at Dartmouth College on October 13, 2022 and a follow-up workshop to prepare the papers for publication in an edited volume at Colby College, April 14-15, 2023. Contributions should interrogate and theorize the historical coexistence of animal life alongside humans in the processes and practices of visual production circa 1750-1900 and challenge the traditional subservience of non-human animals in accounts of the emergence of modern visuality.
