Call for applications at the Getty Research Institute for the theme  
"Networks and Boundaries."

Fellowships for established scholars, postdoctoral scholars, and  
predoctoral candidates, as well as writers and artists.

The Getty Research Institute welcomes applications from researchers  
in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who wish to be in  
residence at the Institute in 2008-2009 and whose projects explore  
cross-cultural exchange and the visual arts.

Scholars who apply for the 2008-2009 academic year will research  
topics centered around the "Networks and Boundaries" research theme.  
The study of the visual arts can and does cross cultural,  
civilizational, ethnic, religious, and geographic boundaries.  
Cultural exchange takes place through kaleidoscopic networks that are  
themselves dynamic and transformative. These exchanges are integral  
to the construction of boundaries, contributing to definitions of  
self and other. The contact zones within which they occur are marked  
by appropriations, hybridizations, and syncretisms-all of which remap  
cultural boundaries.

The study of the visual arts has its own networks and boundaries,  
including interdisciplinarity and divisions between national, area,  
and world histories. How freely have artists, art objects, and  
artistic concepts and practices moved across socio-political and  
cultural boundaries? And with what results? How closely do artistic  
crossings and their analyses map onto larger networks of power and  
economics? How do we negotiate the different demands of local  
cultural contexts with larger regional and/or global concerns?

Scholars in residence will find that the special collections of the  
Getty Research Library are especially rich in primary materials that  
bear upon this topic, ranging from nineteenth-century photographs by  
European travelers in Asia to the collection of the Association  
Connaissance de l'histoire de l'Afrique contemporaine (exploring the  
influence of French colonialism in Africa); from the papers of  
international architect Bernard Rudofsky to documentation of such  
global activities as Fluxus and mail art.
