For its 2025 issue, Anales de Historia del Arte is interested in studies focused on the art of dance, especially in those addressing the rich interaction stablished throughout history between dance and other artistic disciplines.
The volume seeks to contribute to the ongoing expansion of this field of study through the incorporation of innovative methodologies from Art History and Visual Culture. It also wants to generate new narratives within the History of Dance, therefore accentuating the impact that this art form has had on the broader artistic and cultural landscape throughout history.
Anales de Historia del Arte is therefore interested in research articles that address the study of dance from Antiquity to the present. Special attention will be paid to studies focused on the study of dance at a global level, attending to those geographical contexts that have been traditionally misrepresented in canonical narratives, and those covering cross-cultural perspectives typical of the dynamism inherent to certain scenic circuits. We also welcome contributions that pay special attention to the relationship between dance and visual arts, that promote critical reflection on the corporal and ephemeral nature of this art form and focus on the use of material means for its registration or notation. Studies on the representation of dance in the visual arts are also especially welcomed, as well as those interested in its impact on architecture, which may reflect on notions such as rhythm, movement, gestures, identity, imaginary or corporeality.
Anales de Historia del Arte is open to research articles focused on some of the following subjects without being limited to them:
Representation, iconography and practice of dance from antiquity to the present day.
Dance as a social, ritual, popular, courtly, festive, political, educational, scenic practice, etc. and its representation throughout history.
Case studies on dancers, choreographers, set designers, costume designers, etc.
Treatises and writings on dance, and especially their illustrations.
Processes of choreographic notation and transcription of gesture and movement.
Studies on scenography, ephemeral architecture, costumes and visual material for dance and similar, related shows.
Study of the relationships, connections and influences between film, photography, architecture, painting, sculpture, drawing, literature and dance.
Studies on the relationship between dance and performance and its inclusion in museums and archives.
Dance as intangible heritage, its recovery, conservation and reinterpretation.
