> Session: "Historicizing Globalization: Studying 
> the Visual in the Age of Three Worlds"
>
> Historian Michael Denning has recently reflected 
> on the cultural turn that so marked intellectual 
> thinking during ?the age of three worlds? 
> (1945-1989), when the globe was imagined to be 
> divided into three between the capitalist First 
> World, the communist Second World, and the 
> decolonizing Third World.  Following Denning, we 
> suggest that the conditions of globalization 
> might be understood as part of this historical 
> transition.  This session therefore asks: what 
> does it mean to study the visual in, around, and 
> beyond the age of three worlds?between the age 
> when culture was more or less understood in 
> relation to national/ist projects and the moment 
> ideas about ?international? cultural exchanges 
> shifted toward theorizing culture in terms of 
> its global circulation? Papers may address any 
> aspect of globalization as a historical process 
> in relation to the study of the visual, including but not limited to:
>
>
>    * The shift from Adorno?s critique of the 
> modern ?culture industry? in the first half of 
> the twentieth century towards global 
> understandings of the so-called ?creative 
> industries? under the economic conditions of late capitalism.
>    * The legacies of nineteenth-century 
> national/ist art historical frameworks when it 
> comes to studying the visual under the 
> historical conditions of modernity and globalization.
>    * The impact of disciplinary cultural 
> studies and the cultural turn in the second 
> half of the twentieth century on the 
> development of visual studies and the visual 
> turn in the first decade of the twenty-first.
>    * The role of culture in the transition from 
> an industrial, production-based economy to the 
> post-industrial, service-based ?new economy? 
> fostered by neoliberal globalization.
>    * The importance of vision and visuality to 
> historical studies of globalization and 
> resistance, particularly in relation to the 
> so-called ?anti-globalization? (or, more 
> accurately, alter-globalization) movement.
>    * The perception of culture as an underlying 
> explanation and resource for fostering global 
> development, social justice, and democracy, 
> especially as it relates to the experienced 
> historical realities of people living under the 
> processes of colonization and decolonization.
