CALL for PAPERS

Keywords: Corruption, Material Culture, Artistic culture, Cultural legacies, Early Modern Europe, Modern Europe, Curation.

The interdisciplinary conference addresses the material, literary and visual culture associated with ‘corruption’ (broadly conceived). Relatively little attention has been paid to these dimensions of corrupt practices: to the gifts given as bribes, to the various material, artistic and cultural forms of public displays of corrupt wealth, and to the literary and visual representations of corruption. Nor has there been much debate about how to curate material bought or created with ‘corrupt’ money and how explain it to modern audiences.
