FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS


Envisioning the Past is a groundbreaking international,
interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers from
across the globe to discuss the latest insights into the visual
representation of anthropological, archaeological and scientific
knowledge.

The representation of the past is a new and developing field of
research, which addresses the construction of knowledge through
visual media, including fine arts, illustrations, museum displays,
multimedia and popular culture.

Papers are invited from researchers in archaeology, anthropology,
history, art history and the history and philosophy of science.

Abstracts of not more than 500 words should be forwarded to the
Conference Co-ordinator by 30 June 2000.
