29 January 2013 - Call for papers: `Re-Visioning the Bront\u00ebs', University of Leeds conference in conjunction with the exhibitions, `Wildness Between the Lines' and `Visions of Angria'<\/p>\n

Recent adaptations and interpretations of the Bront\u00ebs' lives and works through film, art, literature and theatre raise questions about the continuing fascination with these literary figures, as well as highlighting the wider potential for artistic intervention or collaboration between artworks and audiences. Similarly, it is through innovative contemporary arts programmes that organisations like the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum and the Bront\u00eb Society seek to move beyond simple `caricatures' of the family and encourage diverse audience engagement.<\/p>\n

This one day cross-disciplinary conference will explore the recent `re-visioning' of the Bront\u00ebs through critically examining artistic responses and interpretations of their work. The conference will address ways in which the legacy of the Bront\u00ebs is exerting an influence in a range of creative fields, and across a variety of media.<\/p>\n

A collaboration between the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery and the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies, the conference is taking place to coincide with two exhibitions. The first, `Wildness Between the Lines', at Leeds College of Art, brings together the work of a wide range of artists who have been influenced by the Bront\u00ebs. `Visions of Angria', at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery, showcases Bront\u00eb material from the University of Leeds Special Collections, accompanied by illustrations from students at Leeds College of Art.<\/p>\n

This theme lends itself to a broad field of research and practice. Submissions are welcomed from academics, artists, research students and professionals, and the format is not restricted to formal papers. Topics for discussion might include, but are not limited to:<\/span><\/div>\n
