1. Journal of Islamic Art and Architecture
Call for Abstracts for Volume 2
With the first issue of the Journal of Islamic Art and Architecture moving towards publication, it is time to call for abstracts for the second issue.
The Journal of Islamic Art and Architecture embraces a broad chronological scope from the 7th to the 20th century. This peer-reviewed journal, with two issues per year, aims to encourage and promote the study of art and architecture from across the Islamic world in its widest sense.
Published papers will reflect a wide range of scholarly perspectives, a diversity of approaches, and the full chronological and geographical scope of the field. It is dedicated to publishing in English the most intellectually rigorous and original papers by scholars from across the world.
Issues appear in April and October and contain a range of articles up to 8,000 words in length and up to 20 colour images each.
Following standard EUP practice, there will be no transliteration apart from distinguishing ‘ain from hamza.
The journal includes articles of major significance which together demonstrate a wide diversity of material and approaches. In addition to studies of traditional media and regions, innovative and ground-breaking research that addresses new or unusual material, areas and approaches will be included.
The Editorial Board consists of the founder editor (Robert Hillenbrand) and three lead editors: a managing editor (Richard McClary) and two associate editors (Francesca Leoni and Yusen Yu). An international advisory board aids in commissioning and performing peer-review tasks. The journal also has a designated permanent copy/desk editor.
All potential authors are requested to submit abstracts of up to 250 words that sets out the core content of their proposed article.
The three lead editors will consider the abstracts submitted, then select a number of articles to be submitted in full for peer review, considering carefully the number of articles required per issue.
Peer review for each short-listed article is anonymous, and the journal will be listed on key indexing sites such as Web of Science.
We invite abstracts to be sent to jiaa.submissions@gmail.com by the closing date of November 1st 2024, with the final articles to be submitted by March 31st 2025. The second issue is due to be published in April 2026.
2. The Art History Department at the CUNY Graduate Center invites you to attend a panel featuring the authors of two groundbreaking monographs on Mughal painting, both published in 2023: The Brush of Insightby Dr. Yael Rice and Faces of Godby Dr. Murad Khan Mumtaz.
The authors understand paintings to have been portals for dreams, visions, and sacred presence, and to have invited spiritual insight. With innovative interpretations grounded in close looking, Rice and Mumtaz deepen our understanding of Mughal visuality. Each explores the provocative question: what do Mughal paintings do? Additionally, the authors significantly advance the study of artists, patronage, and artistic processes. The panel offers a chance to learn about Indo-Muslim ontologies, the power of gazing, especially on beauty, and the expressive sophistication of Mughal pictures. We invite colleagues outside Mughal art history to engage with what these scholars have to teach us about images. Specialists are welcome too! Graduate-student organized, discussion oriented.
