Interiors and Interiority
Building on discussions begun at the 2009 Radcliffe Institute for Advaced Study conference "Inside/Out: Exploring Gender and Space in Life, Culture, and Art," this workshop explored the historical connections between the notions of architectural interior, subjective space (human interiority) and visual and literary representations of space (including virtual space). Participants considered specific images, objects, texts, and discourses featuring space and spatial experience as the basis of historically specific constructions of interiority and also examined the existing conceptual models that helped forge the connection between space and self.
