Applicants will be notified by Dec. 1. Contributions will be due on June 1, 2026 & should be approx 4,000-6,000 words; practice-based works should feature video, photographic, or audio documentation, accompanied by an artist’s statement or commentary of approx. 1,000-2,000 words

Interested participants should submit an abstract of up to 500 words & a CV or brief bio (200 words or less) to Juliet Bellow (Assoc. Prof. of Art History, American Univ.) & Madison Mainwaring (Asst Prof of French & Francophone Studies, Univ. of Notre Dame) by Oct. 15, 2025

Submissions may define “dance” &/or “sculpture” capaciously. We welcome meta-reflections on how dance studies, art history, & related fields can inform one another, as well as practice-based contributions by visual or choreographic artists

This call is open to any consideration of the ways dance & sculpture relate, historically or in the present, w/in any Francophone context. The aim is not only to deepen knowledge about specific case studies, but also to reveal how approaches across these media can open up new ways of thinking

Rather than reducing the relationship to mere illustration or representation, interventions should consider the ways each responded to the other, & address how such encounters between artistic media illuminate, inform, or amplify hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, & culture

This special issue aims to broaden our understanding of the intricate patterns of interconnection & mutual exchange betw the arts of dance & sculpture. We seek contributions that complicate what we call the “Degas dilemma,” whereby the (female) dancer passively serves as the (male) sculptor’s “muse”
