The next issue of Revista de História da Arte, published by the Instituto de História da Arte, will focus on the subject of “Crisis”.

This issue aims at creating a space for problematizing the concept of “crisis” within Art History and artistic production – including Architecture, Dance, Theatre and Cinema – but also in their interaction with other areas of the Social Sciences and Humanities.
To this end, we invite the submission of article proposals exploring the subject within a variety of geographical and cultural contexts, based on, but not limited to, any of the following approaches.

a) Problematizing the concept of “crisis” and its genealogies
b) “Crisis” as builder of new models and paradigms
c) Disciplinary crises in Art History
d) Crises in Discourses / Narratives
e) Crisis: Modernism(s) / Post-Modernism
f) Crisis and heterodoxy (including the crisis of artistic categories / crisis of the autonomy of art)
g) Traditions and historical legacies / Modernisms and Avant-gardes: creative conflicts and the notion of novelty.
h) The impact of the current crisis and its problematization in contemporary artistic practices.
i) Culture and Art as “arms of resistance” against the crisis.
j) Culture crisis / Education crisis
