Ural Federal University invites you on October 12–14, 2022 to participate in the III International Conference “Questions of Expertise in Culture, Art and Design”.
The conference proposes to discuss the emerging new position of expert assessment within culture, history and design. During the 2010s, two lines of interpretation have emerged: one strictly specialized (the traditional questions of attribution in art history, or the role of cultural expert assessment in legal setting), the other more general humanistic approach that focuses on the growing importance of the role of an expert within contemporary sociocultural processes.
What are the limits of professional responsibility and objectivity required from an expert? What is the role of an expert in the capital and in the regions; is there any difference between regional and federal authorities regarding expert participation in decision making? What are the professional requirements for an expert working in the “Instagram world”? These and many other questions are proposed for the conference discussion.
We invite to participate researchers in art history, cultural studies, design, fashion, as well as postgraduate students and academic scholars.
