Abstract

ABSTRACT The author presents reasons for doubting the uses of images in art history and art theory. Fine art images conventionally function as illustrations of arguments presented in text, which is counter to their putative value as the objects of scholarly attention. The author describes his reasons for leaving art history, and the essay concludes with excerpts from a forthcoming novel in order to show how images can have very different relations to their surrounding text, and how academic writing might be expanded to accommodate other voices.

学术界之外的图像写作

ABSTRACT 作者提出了怀疑图像在艺术史和艺术理论中的用途的理由。美术图像的传统功能是为文本中的论点提供插图，这与它们作为学术关注对象的假定价值背道而驰。作者描述了自己离开艺术史的原因，文章最后还摘录了即将出版的一部小说的内容，以说明图像与其周围的文本之间可以有非常不同的关系，以及学术写作可以如何扩展以容纳其他声音。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Visual Art Practice (JVAP) is a forum of debate and inquiry for research in art. JVAP is concerned with visual art practice including the social, economic, political and cultural frames within which the formal concerns of art and visual art practice are located. The journal is concerned with research engaged in these disciplines, and with the contested ideas of knowledge formed through that research. JVAP welcomes submissions that explore new theories of research and practice and work on the practical and educational impact of visual arts research. JVAP recognises the diversity of research in art and visual arts, and as such, we encourage contributions from scholarly and pure research, as well as developmental, applied and pedagogical research. In addition to established scholars, we welcome and are supportive of submissions from new contributors including doctoral researchers. We seek contributions engaged with, but not limited to, these themes: -Art, visual art and research into practitioners'' methods and methodologies -Art , visual art, big data, technology, and social change -Art, visual art, and urban planning -Art, visual art, ethics and the public sphere -Art, visual art, representations and translation -Art, visual art, and philosophy -Art, visual art, methods, histories and beliefs -Art, visual art, neuroscience and the social brain -Art, visual art, and economics -Art, visual art, politics and power -Art, visual art, vision and visuality -Art, visual art, and social practice -Art, visual art, and the methodology of arts based research
