In 1875, on the outskirts of the city, John Ruskin established the Museum of St George, a collection of art objects and natural artefacts displayed for the aesthetic education of the city\u2019s workers. Inspired by Ruskin, the theme of this year\u2019s conference aims to explore the relationships between different kinds of value in the Victorian period, to return to the period\u2019s central debates about how to measure, establish and uphold value in the emergent modernity of Victorian Britain, and to think about the representation and legacy of those values both in and beyond the field of Victorian Studies.&nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><br \/>Papers may address, but are not limited to, to following topics:<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">The representation and circulation of different kinds of currency<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Aesthetes in the marketplace<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Critical\/cultural evaluation, from Ruskin and Arnold to Leavis and beyond<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">The ethical turn in Victorian Studies<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Political economy and the art of government<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">The transmission of value at home and abroad<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Value rewritten, from Woolf to Waters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Domestic economy and the aesthetics of the home<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Ethical dilemmas, aesthetic solutions<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Value on display: collection and exhibition<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">New economies, from Cobden to Carpenter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Commodity culture and the value of \u2018things\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Sincere characters: the ethics of self and text<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Work ethics: Madox-Brown, Marx and Morris<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">Please send the title of your paper and an abstract of around 250 words to <a href=\"mailto:bavs2012@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">bavs2012@gmail.com<\/a> by&nbsp;<b>31st March 2012<\/b>.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\">For more information, please see our website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.victorianvalue2012.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.victorianvalue2012.blogspot.com<\/a>).<\/span><\/span><br \/><span style=\"line-height: 115%;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAVS 2012 University of Sheffield Thursday 30th&nbsp;&nbsp;
