The Art Institute of Nanjing University and Villa I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies (Florence, Italy) are pleased to announce a conference on "The Italian Renaissance and Chinese Receptions," to be held at Nanjing University on October 16-17, 2015. This conference aims to explore how the Italian Renaissance has been understood and interpreted in China —especially in the fields of art and architecture, art history, and aesthetics— and the impact of this period on the artistic, intellectual, and philosophical cultures of China.
Keynote lecture by Eugene Wang 汪悅進
Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor of Asian Art at Harvard University
"How did the Italian Renaissance Inspire a Vision of New China?"
We seek proposals from Chinese scholars for 20-minute papers, to be delivered in Chinese. (An interpreter will translate the written texts into English). We welcome proposals that address a wide range of fields but two of particular interest are a) how Chinese scholars define the Renaissance (which works, artists, and themes are studied, what are the chronological and geographical limits); and b) the impact of major modern authors (which texts are read in China, and what is distinctive about the impact or interpretation of these authors in China). Within these or other topics, scholars might want to consider differences in Chinese perspectives over time (e.g. the late Imperial, Republican, Modern, and Contemporary periods) or place (e.g. research carried out in different parts of Greater China, or by Chinese scholars in the West.) By way of example, papers might address how Michelangelo (or another topic, such as one-point perspective, or Aby Warburg) has been studied in China, and how does that differ from how this topic is studied in the West.

会议论文征稿：“中国的意大利文艺复兴研究”
南京大学艺术研究院与哈佛大学意大利文艺复兴研究中心将于2015年10月16-17日在南京大学共同举办“中国的意大利文艺复兴研究”国际会议。此次会议旨在探讨意大利文艺复兴在中国的译介及接受，尤其是在艺术、建筑、艺术史和美学等领域以及文艺复兴对于中国的艺术、哲学和学术所产生的影响。
在此，“中国的意大利文艺复兴研究”组委会向中国学者征集演讲时长为20分钟的中文论文。如论文获接受，会议组委会将会安排翻译人员将书面论文翻译成英文。
此次会议论文议题范围广泛，但主要聚焦于以下两个方面：1、中国学者是如何定义文艺复兴（哪些作品、艺术家和主题在中国被研究，又是如何从时间上和地理上进行界定的）；2、其中比较重要的现代作家在中国的影响（这些作家的哪些文本被介绍到了中国，其在中国的影响又有何独到之处）。我们还希望，拟申请学者在就相关或其它议题的讨论中考虑到时间（晚清、民国、现代和当代）或者地域（有在大中华地区开展研究的学者，也有在西方开展相关研究的中国学者）的差异性。举例来说，有关米开朗基罗（或者其它主题，比如单点透视或阿比·瓦尔堡）的论文，就可以着重讨论米开朗基罗是如何在中国被研究的，其又是如何与西方的研究不同。
截稿期限：2015年6月15日
