The rapid expansion of information technology (IT) is having an impact on the ways that information about cultural subjects is created, organized, used, and stored, which in turn directly affect museums, the art market, arts organizations, government agencies, universities, and, increasingly, academics, artists, curators, and dealers. The IT revolution has generated a dynamic between, on the one hand, extreme fragmentation and multiplication of efforts, and, on the other, a need to define policies that will help chart a path through the chaos and rush. The writer studies the effectiveness of five groups—the European Union, the G7, Protecting Cultural Objects in the Global Information Society, the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage, and the Arts and Humanities Data Service—specifically formed to make policy in this area.","PeriodicalId":46667,"journal":{"name":"ART BULLETIN","volume":"42 1","pages":"209-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74920770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These concerns, I argue, link Charlesworth’s project to a longer Pop art tradition, complicating established art historical accounts of the so-called Pictures Generation and its political imagination.","PeriodicalId":46667,"journal":{"name":"ART BULLETIN","volume":"104 1","pages":"146 - 171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44832688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a moment when art history seeks to identify and disavow colonial legacies, we propose a renewed, theoretically informed, and critical engagement with the historical imbrication of art and empire. Empire has been a presence in virtually all historical periods and all regions. We recognize that a broader discussion is needed, involving scholars representing the full chronological and geographical range of art historical study. But empire also remains with us now, in every aspect of social life, and imperial thinking, in plain sight, still conditions the practice of art history. Te institutions of our discipline are the products of empire and allow its ideologies extended life, ordering our museum collections, library shelves, and course catalogs. We write during a global pandemic, at a time punctuated by the toppling of racist monuments and urgent calls for justice. We bear witness to the disastrous legacies of empire, from political instability and demographic catastrophe to devastating climate change. We propose that at this febrile juncture, as art history moves beyond the European canon to tell a richer, more vibrant, transregional, decolonized, and intercultural history of the visual arts and material culture, there are timely new possibilities for the analysis of art and empire. How, though, can we write about art and empire without replicating imperial ideologies and hierarchies, naturalizing the historical subjugation of colonized peoples, or reinscribing empire’s own organizing principle of center and periphery? Allow us to open with a land acknowledgment, naming the direct and salient links between histories of empire and our present locations—a necessary act of self-refexivity. One of us writes from the University of California, Los Angeles, which stands on unceded Gabrielino/Tongva land, in a city named in 1781 by the soldier-governor Felipe de Neve (1724–1784) as part of the Spanish Empire, el Pueblo de los Ángeles. To echo the UCLA Chancellor’s Ofce’s acknowledgment of August 22, 2019: “UCLA acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and Southern Channel Islands). As a land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present, and emerging.”1 Te recent toppling of statues of Father Junípero Serra (1713–1784), founder of nine of California’s twenty-one Spanish-Indian missions, drew public attention to the state’s history as a crossroads of empire (Fig. 1). Sited on Tongva lands that were seized to become the Rancho de San José de Buenos Aires, UCLA was founded with fnancial support from UC Berkeley, one of the universities created after the seizure of Indigenous land through the","PeriodicalId":46667,"journal":{"name":"ART BULLETIN","volume":"104 1","pages":"6 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42752259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
