Part of the Symposium
Co-constituting the Global: Ethical Challenges and Implications
We aim to address methodological challenges in the study of art history that reimagines its possible narratives by simultaneously holding account of art’s global resonances and its local, national, and regional frameworks. The papers on this panel are situated at the intersection between diaspora, postcolonial, and global (art history) studies. They seek to decolonize and deimperialize new top-down narratives of so called ‘global art’, that often identify global capitalism as the universal condition and will instead shed light on the multiperspectival polyphony that co-constitutes the global.Programme
