  • Art History As a Global Discipline James Elkins
    [is essay originally appeared in Is Art History Global? (New York: Routledge, 2006). It was posted in this form on www.jameselkins.com; see that website for the context, more recent texts on this subject, and contact information.] Art History as a Global Discipline James Elkins What is the shape, or what are the shapes, of art history across the world? Is it becoming global — that is, does it have a recogniz- able form wherever it is practiced? Can the methods, concepts, and purposes of Western art history be suitable for art outside of Europe and North America? And if not, are there alternatives that are compatible with existing modes of art history? The book you are about to read takes off from problems like these. Since the Art Seminar roundtable in spring 2005, world art history and the globalization of the discipline have attracted increasing interest. Several books are in press at the same time as this one. A volume called World Art Studies, edited by Wilfried van Damme and Kitty Zijlmans (who also contributes an Assessment to this book) is forthcoming, and, in the odd logic of publishing, it contains a brief essay of mine, in which I contemplate the results of this project. At the moment, in autumn 2006, the subject is still entrancingly disorganized. It is not quite a field of study, even given the inception of programs in Leiden and East Anglia that aim to teach “world art studies.” A sign of the relative novelty of 3 RT7851x_C001.indd 3 10/2/06 11:22:05 AM 4 Is Art History Global? the subject is the fact that despite extensive efforts, we could not find anyone who would contribute the kind of synoptic, historical Introduction that other volumes in this series have — one that would survey the history of art history’s awareness of its geographic spread.

  • The Second Essay
    c . James Elkins 48 the state of art history in ireland, revisited 1. Universities and art colleges could be more strongly connected. As I write, the Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork is preparing to move to a new campus, and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, is pondering several alternative sites. Both moves are necessitated in part by the condition of their buildings, but both will entail new connections, or disconnections, with nearby universities. Before I say what those may be, let me describe briefly the situation in America. There it is common for universities to have studio art departments. In smaller universities and liberal arts colleges, the studio art departments are amalgamated with the Art History departments: they share physical facilities and sometimes, though not always, they share courses and have common goals. The common case in larger In 2003, when I was hired at the University College universities is that art practice is a separate department 49 Cork, I wrote an essay called The state of Art History from history of art. Either way, the studio art department in Ireland; it is available on the Circa website. Now is more or less a continual supplicant for funds and that I am leaving the position in Cork, I thought it resources. Art historians typically spend their time in would be appropriate to revisit that essay, and write their own department, and have minimal contact with an envoi. The 2003 essay was largely celebratory, the studio art instructors. The alienation takes many because I saw – and I still see – enormous potential forms, but I can sum it up with an anecdote from the in the art-history and art-criticism scene here in University of Chicago.

  • Circulations in the Global History of Art
    An Ashgate Book circulations in the global history of art The project of global art history calls for balanced treatment of artifacts and a unified approach. This volume emphasizes questions of transcultural encounters and exchanges as circulations. It presents a strategy that highlights the processes and connections among cultures, and also responds to the dynamics at work in the current globalized art world. The editors’ introduction provides an account of the historical background to this approach to global art history, stresses the inseparable bond of theory and practice, and suggests a revaluation of materialist historicism as an underlying premise. Individual contributions to the book provide an overview of current reflection and research on issues of circulation in relation to global art history and the globalization of art past and present. They offer a variety of methods and approaches to the treatment of different periods, regions, and objects, surveying both questions of historiography and methodology and presenting individual case studies. An “Afterword” by James Elkins gives a critique of the present project. The book thus deliberately leaves discussion open, inviting future responses to the large questions it poses. Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann is Frederick Marquand Professor of Art and Archaeology, Princeton University, US. Catherine Dossin is Associate Professor of Art History, Purdue University, US. Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel is Associate Professor of Art History, École normale supérieure, France.

Specifically, using a case study approach, I examined four encounters between writers and painters, including Gustave Flaubert, Gustave Moreau, the Goncourt brothers, Eugène Delacroix, Émile Zola, Édouard Manet, J.-K. Huysmans and Odilon Redon. I analyzed how these pairings, each illustrative of a different facet of écriture artiste, highlight extratextual realities of the time through aesthetic embellishments.
