DESCRIPTION:The Society of Architectural Historians Historic Interiors Grou
 p (HIG)\, in collaboration with Virginia Commonwealth University\, is seek
 ing proposals for its 5th Annual Emerging Scholars Symposium\,&nbsp\;If Th
 ese Walls Could Talk: Fiction\, Facticity\, and Archives. As the symposium
 &rsquo\;s title reminds us\, capturing complete historical accounts of int
 erior spaces is largely a hypothetical ideal. From activation through use 
 to the clutter of quotidian life\, much of what makes interior spaces so v
 ital to study eludes capture in conventional historical sources. This symp
 osium seeks works that peer into those gaps between records and reality\, 
 probing the role of fiction\, fabulation\, and unconventional archives in 
 historical research.&nbsp\;Graduate students\, postdocs and recent graduat
 es (2022-) from diverse disciplinary fields of study are invited to submit
  proposals for brief\, 10-minute talks that explore the theme of facticity
  and fiction in relation to the study\, construction\, and imagination of 
 historic interiors. Submissions addressing any time period or geographic a
 rea are welcome. Topics might include\, but are not limited to\, the limit
 s of conventional archival sources for researching interiors\; unconventio
 nal archives and historical sources\; the use of oral history in the study
  of interiors\; interiors&nbsp\;as&nbsp\;archives\; ephemeral\, undocument
 ed spaces or uses of spaces\; sites of (literary\, visual\, or political) 
 fiction production\; documentation of fictional spaces\; and fictional spa
 ces as historical sources. The presentations will take place virtually on 
 September 19\, 2025.Please send abstracts of no more than 500 words and a 
 2-page CV by May 15\, 2025 to&nbsp\;sahhigessymposium@gmail.com
