Imperial Curiosity:
Objects, Representations, Knowledges
School of Art, Hunter Street
27 - 29 June 2007
Alongside economic, political, and strategic motivations, curiosity spurred the spread of empire. During this interdisciplinary conference scholars and curators explored imperial curiosity with the University of Tasmania's Centre for Colonialism and Its Aftermath.
During the conference various historical, literary, ethnographic and cultural collections were brought together as scholars from diverse disciplines: literary studies, geography, Asian studies, history, indigenous studies, art history, architecture, legal studies, museum studies, gender studies, cultural studies, and anthropology; engaged in conversations of imperialism and curiosity.
