Call for papers-journal 21:Inquiries into Art, Theory, and the Visual

The choice of the title indicates the intent of the editors to expand the boundaries of traditional art history by integrating all methodologies and subject matter related to images and visual phenomena around the globe. The journal seeks to publish methodologically and theoretically rigorous contributions that can claim a relevance for their topic beyond exemplary single-case studies. The multilingual aspect of art history and visual studies is reflected in the multiple languages in which the journal is published: contributions are welcome in English, German, French, and Italian, but we would also be interested in bilingual edited issues in further languages. In our reviews section, we strongly encourage reviews of exhibitions and books in languages that differ from the original.

Submissions should not exceed 60-70,000 characters (including spaces and footnotes). Reviews should not exceed 15,000 characters (including spaces). The html version can include short videos, e.g. as part of an exhibition review. Manuscripts are to be submitted as a doc. attachment via email to the editors: 21-inquiries@ikg.unibe.ch. In order for the document to be considered, please make sure it corresponds to the style sheet guidelines [PDF] of 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual – Beiträge zur Kunstgeschichte und visuellen Kultur.

Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.
