Is there a call for papers on pleasure in Early Modern art?
My current project examines depictions of sensory and embodied pleasure in 17th-century Northern European painting. I'm at a stage where I'd like to present and publish this work, and I'm seeking targeted opportunities that align with this specific thematic focus on pleasure, aesthetics, and the senses.

From my experience navigating the conference circuit, I would recommend a multi-pronged approach. First, consistently check the postings on H-Net (especially H-ArtHist) and the University of Oxford's "Call for Papers" listings, which are aggregators. Second, target journals known for Early Modern focus, like The Seventeenth Century or Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes, as they often announce special issues. I have seen this theme gain traction, particularly through the lens of sensory studies. Be proactive; your topic is timely, so also consider reaching out directly to organizers of recurring conferences like the Renaissance Society of America to suggest a session.
