Reference journal published since 2006 by the Institut national d’histoire de l’art, Perspective focuses every six months on a specific transversal theme. It publishes historiographical and critical texts on approaches, orientations, and issues at the cutting edge of international research in the field of art history.
Its sections – Tribune, Debates, Interviews, Essays – include texts in a variety of formats: interviews with leading personalities from the world of art and culture, artists or art historians, polemical positions, international discussions on topical issues, original essays on historiography, and critical bibliographies on new or revisited topics that have attracted considerable interest in the discipline. Going beyond any given case study, they interrogate the discipline, its methods, history and limitations, while relating these questions to topical issues from art history and neighboring disciplines that speak to each of us as citizens. All geographical areas, periods, and media are welcome.
Perspective is a peer-reviewed journal, supported by the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at the CNRS, and listed by the European Science Foundation (as high-profile international journal – category INT1), as well as the Agency for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education, and ERIH PLUS.
