The Journal of Art Theory and Practice is a peer-reviewed publication.
The journal is published twice a year in print and is affiliated with
the professional society called Korean Society of Art Theories. In
December 2011 we plan to publish a thematic issue: “The Fate of
Image,” for which we would like to encourage submissions. We welcome
submissions from art historians, critics, artists, curators,
philosophers, administrators, and other art scholars and
professionals.

We explore the ways in which to define image, while raising
significant questions regarding the relationship of text to image, and
of both to different forms of thought. The dichotomy between icon and
logos has suggested two different ways perceiving reality, which has
effected on diverse discourses on art and literature. A relationship
between the sayable and the visible has been crucial in discussing the
domain of image. If both text and image are involved in representing
reality, the question remains as to whether image and text configure
thought differently. It also alludes to another question on the
relation between resemblance and abstraction in representing reality.
The resistance against resemblance has been regarded as the formal
imperative of modern and contemporary art. Yet our culture has been
dominated by visual spectacles. We seek scholarly discussions on the
disquiet pertaining to the fate of image, presumably confrontational
relationship of image to text. Possible discussion includes the
relation between artists’ writings and visual artworks together
without intervening in the means of the other. All perspectives and
methodologies are welcome.
