DESCRIPTION:American Art\, the peer-reviewed journal co-published by the 
 Smithsonian American Art Museum and the University of Chicago Press\, 
 seeks papers that answer the question\, &ldquo\;What is the place of 
 design in American art history?&rdquo\; In an effort to explore this 
 topic\, the journal plans to publish several short\, scholarly essays that
  demonstrate how the history of design can contribute to art history. Our 
 conception of design encompasses objects\, places\, environments\, 
 experiences\, systems\, and sites shaped by culture. While we are open to 
 a range of historic periods\, there is a particular editorial interest in 
 material from the nineteenth century and earlier. Articles should be 
 argument-driven case studies and/or position papers that incorporate 
 design into the history of art\, thus pushing the boundaries of the latter
  beyond painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, prints\, and photography. It is 
 our hope that this intervention will enable future explorations of design 
 in American Art and possibly answer some of the following questions: In 
 the past\, how have institutions (schools\, museums\, publishers\, fairs) 
 conceptualized the permeable boundaries between design and art history? 
 When objects traverse these constructed categories\, how are those objects
  and the production and/or consumption of them transformed? When design 
 elements are depicted in art\, what does design history reveal about those
  works? In what ways does including design in art history foster new 
 questions about materials and technology? And how can a focus on design 
 lead to novel ideas about methodology\, theory\, and historical context? 
 For consideration\, submit an essay of 2\,000&ndash\;2\,500 words 
 (including endnotes) by November 1\, 2019\, to AmericanArtJournal@si.edu. 
 The organizers\, David Brody\, Professor of Design Studies at Parsons 
 School of Design\, and Robin Veder\, executive editor of American Art\, 
 will work with outside reviewers to facilitate double-blind reviews and to
  select essays for publication in 2021. Accepted manuscripts will be 
 further workshopped with authors. Send pre-submission inquiries on 
 &ldquo\;Design Intervention&rdquo\; to brodyd@newschool.edu
