Composite Cultural Production: Transnational and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Pre-Modern Collage

Project description

The production of pre-modern collage

Collage is an art creation technique that existed long before the term was coined in the early 20th century. The EU-funded COLLAGE project will undertake a multidisciplinary analysis of collage made in the 18th and 19th centuries. Specifically, the project will explore the popularity, cross-cultural movement, and diversity of composite cultural production in this period, focusing on its manifestations in the context of the British empire. It will also assess how collective values related to individual agency during this period. The findings will shed light on how the production of pre-modern collage expressed, reflected, and conveyed the gendered identities, emotions, and relationships of those who made, owned, and viewed it.

Objective

‘COLLAGE’ will facilitate the delivery of the 24-month project ‘Composite Cultural Production: Transnational and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Pre-Modern Collage’. The project will be undertaken under the supervision Prof. Mónica Bolufer at the University of Valencia (UVEG). The action comprises a multidisciplinary analysis of collage made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, considering its multimedia manifestations, transnational spread across the British empire, and its status as a highly gendered form of cultural production. The mobility afforded by the project will facilitate the acquisition of research-specific skills through close work with Prof. Bolufer, whose highly complementary research project Circulating Gender in the Global Enlightenment: Ideas, Networks, Agencies (CIRGEN) makes UVEG an extremely apt and timely host for the project. Undertaking COLLAGE will globalise my established expertise on collage, advancing my international career as a research leader. COLLAGE has four key objectives: 1) to explore the popularity, cross-cultural movement, and diversity of composite cultural production in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focusing on its manifestations in the context of the British empire; 2) to reveal the ways in which individual instances of consumption and production related to wider transnational contexts, such as trade, empire, and industry, in order to provide a better understanding of how collective values related to individual agency during this period; 3) to examine how the production of pre-modern collage expressed, reflected, and conveyed the gendered identities, emotions, and relationships of those who made, owned, and viewed it; 4) to provide an unprecedented multidisciplinary historical and theoretical framework for discussing composite cultural production that moves beyond rigid disciplinary boundaries.
