Revista de História da Arte

RHA – Revista de História da Arte is an open access art history journal published online by the Art History Institute, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa – School of Social Sciences and Humanities  (IHA-NOVA FCSH), and indexed in ERIH PLUS. It publishes multi- and cross-disciplinary peer-reviewed articles that critically analyse and address historical and current conditions of art practice and theory in the global field, with a particular focus on Portuguese narratives and discourses, and their global resonances and articulations. Since its inception in 2005, Revista de História da Arte has established itself as the leading international journal advancing the field of art historiography, and has created a significant archive of critical and theoretical knowledge which expands conceptions of art history, integrating fields of visual, museum and heritage studies and curatorial and artistic practices, among other disciplines within the social sciences. The journal offers a forum for urgent and emergent dialogues addressing, refining and broadening grammars of art history and theory. It is committed to diverse, creative and experimental approaches that engage with and catalyse post-colonial ecologies of the visual arts.

N.º 16, 2023 – Re-turns: On Future Art Histories

Guest edited by Basia Sliwinska & Afonso Dias Ramos

This re-launch issue of Revista de História da Arte focuses on the topic of re-turns: on future art histories. Contributors to the issue have sought to mobilise art history to address different chronologies and spatial organisations in order to repair a multiplicity of entangled pasts. This re-launch issue marks an important moment for the journal but also for its growing community of contributors and readers, not only in the context of the increasing urgency of the arts and humanities in contemporary life, but also amid the surging development of interdisciplinary and transnational research which often bears artistic practice at its core as a vital element for transformation, be it cultural, social, environmental, economic or otherwise. With this issue we therefore celebrate a diversity of approaches that take re-turn as a particular point of reflection.
