The Government has also raised the minimum wage\, especially for the youngest workers. \nThe reforms are yet to be finalised; much of the detail will only be filled in after the Employment Rights Bill has passed. In my talk I will look at the likely direction of the reforms\, place the reforms in the context of previous UK policy and policy in other countries\, and discuss the potential impact of the reforms on the wider economy. \n  URL:/event/vinson-centre-seminar-series-in-the-classical-political-economy-tradition-3/ LOCATION:Room 5 and 6\, Vinson Building\, Vinson Building\, The 51\, 51\, MK18 1EG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Featured,Vinson Centre END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251119T180000 DTSTAMP:20251118T064858 CREATED:20240828T152907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251114T100833Z UID:644717-1763568000-1763575200@www.buckingham.ac.uk SUMMARY:Postgraduate Open Evening DESCRIPTION:Improve your job prospects\, pursue your passion\, and gain a higher qualification with postgraduate study. \nDiscover how you can further your education at our Postgraduate Open Evening.

It traced how these works—from the Apollo Belvedere to the Laocoön—shaped artistic taste\, collecting practices\, and artistic discourse by defining a classical aesthetic and pedagogy. As one of the most influential texts in the history of art history\, Taste and the Antique has profoundly shaped scholarship and curatorial practice on the reception of ancient sculpture. \nThe revised three-volume edition of 2024 substantially updates the original text with recent research. It broadens the discussion of the reception of the classical canon\, incorporates decades of intervening scholarship\, and brings the conversation into the realm of contemporary art\, opening new perspectives on the afterlives of Greek and Roman sculpture. \nTaking the new edition as a point of departure\, the conference assesses the state of the field\, explores emerging methodologies\, and considers future directions. \n\nSessions will address how classical statues shaped visual culture beyond replication\, including: \nSHAPING AND TRANSMITTING THE CANON\nExamining the establishment\, radical alteration\, and dissolution of the sculptural canon in the early modern era. \nTHE CANON AND THE BODY IN THE AGE OF EMPIRE\nExploring the role of classical statuary in the conception of “proportionate” and “disproportionate” bodies\, in the representation of non-European populations\, and in colonial educational and social policies. \nRESTORATION AND DISPLAY\nConsidering reconfigurations of the antique and notions of authenticity; situating the antique within modern museum contexts. \nCHANGING AND RETHINKING CANONS\nRethinking the antique within modern and postmodern theoretical frameworks and practices. \n\nA core aim of this event is to foster dialogue across generations\, traditions\, and methodologies of scholarship.
