Book Clarification

This edited collection reassesses East-Central European art past offer transnational perspectives on its regional or national histories, while also inserting the region into contemporary discussions of global issues. Both in pop imagination and, to some degree, scholarly literature, East-Central Europe is persistently imagined as a hermetically isolated cultural landscape. This volume restores the diverse means in which East-Fundamental European fine art has always been entangled with actors and institutions in the wider globe. The contributors engage with empirically anchored and theoretically argued instance studies from historical periods representing notable junctures of globalization: the early modern period, the age of Empires, the time of socialist rule and the global Cold State of war, and the most contempo decades of postsocialism understood every bit a global condition.

Reviews

"This volume comes out as a rewarding, rich, and of import contribution and academic reader, and the editors while collecting work dealing with art from a wide historical scope accept been able to pursue primal and unsettling theoretical questions of the writing of art history outside the nationalist paradigm."

--Baltic Worlds

"The book is both an essen-tial compendium and a resourceful reference text, sustained by a solid and up-to-date theoretical discourse and empirical inquiry. Information technology represents a disquisitional contribution to area studies such as East European studies, opening upwards to a plethora of transnational histories in a strong comparative arroyo..."

--Europa Orientali

"Hock's East European 'histories' make for an original contribution to cross-cultural, transnational and global perspectives on the production and reception of contemporary art, from which that region has been unaccountably relegated to the margins."

--Critique d'art

"Globalizing East European Art Histories: Past and Nowadays is both theoretically very stimulating and, with its case studies, opens and develops new research optics in terms of the ongoing transnationalism enquiry calendar in fine art history and cultural studies."

--Connections

"The editors make a case for incorporating a transnational perspective in the methodologies and categories of new art histories. Such a perspective is just as vital for comprehending the cross-border entanglements in East-Central European art as information technology is for practicing world art history or global fine art studies as particular study fields of fine art history at large."
