The 2012 CIHA Conference wishes to address the “object” as the central theme of art history. With its 21 sections pertaining to genre, period, media, and interdisciplinary themes, an opportunity is provided to expand the relatively narrow confines of “classic” art history into as many as 400 lectures. New terms of the object and of the original shall be discussed – against the backdrop of current developments that correspond to contemporary demands upon the subject and afford broader perspectives than traditional ways of thinking. Contributions, especially those with innovative approaches, are welcome from all areas of art and cultural history in the broadest sense. The panels invite papers from across cultures. Innovative approaches are welcome.

Application Form for Speakers

In addition to the 21 sessions and their presentations, the CIHA conference in Nuremberg in 2012 will offer for the first time a special Postgraduate Program. With the motto of „Get in Touch – Objects, Places, People“, it includes workshops, a poster session with up to 80 presentations and a lecture section, as well as a mentoring program. Doctoral candidates and young graduates in art history and cultural history are invited to apply.
