Reflection on the history and practice of art history has long been a major topic
of research and scholarship, and this volume builds on this tradition by offering a
critical survey of many of the major development in the contemporary discipline,
such as the impact of digital technologies, the rise of visual studies or new initiatives
in conservation theory and practice. Alongside these methodological issues this
book addresses the mostly neglected question of the impact of national contexts on
the development of the discipline. Taking a wide range of case studies, this book
examines the impact of the specific national political, institutional and ideological
demands on the practice of art history. The result is an account that both draws out
common features and also highlights the differences and the plurality of practices
that together constitute art history as a discipline.
