Call for Papers
In 2013, Visual Resources, an International Journal of Documentation intends to publish a special issue dedicated to the topic of “Digital Art History.” For more information concerning the journal, please see: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/gvir.
At present, the field of art history has amassed considerable knowledge concerning how to digitize texts and images and make them widely available in well-structured formats. However, the state of the field with respect to scholarship in the digital age is less clear. We seek to answer the questions: what kind of art-historical scholarship is now possible in the digital environment that could not be done before? What new types of questions can be posed now? How might digitized resources (texts and images) be used to produce innovative scholarship? How might the digital environment allow scholars to address existing or “traditional” questions with new evidence or conclusions? While exploring what is now possible, it is also important to consider the challenges that the field of art history still faces with respect to scholarship in the digital age. We might also ask what prevents the field of art history from widespread adoption of the new research tools and techniques associated with the digital humanities?
