H-ART. Revista de historia, teoría y crítica de arte opens a new call for papers for the dossier "Art in the Amazon: Connecting Borderlands". This dossier aims to gather articles that study the material and visual culture of the Amazon beyond national borders.
The call invites a long-term perspective that views the region as a fluid space of exchange at different points in history. Accepted papers will highlight continuities between local traditions and knowledge, and early modern art and architecture in the region, as well as artistic and collecting practices in modernity.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Cartographic representations of the Amazon from an art-historical perspective;
- The importance of ethnohistorical narratives for art history;
- Transcultural negotiations between missionaries and spiritual representatives of native societies;
- Global circulation of objects, transfer agents and exchange circuits;
- Indigenous knowledge used to transform nature into artistic materials and techniques;
- Collecting practices and exhibition of objects from the Amazon region in South America and Europe;
- Images and imaginaries of the Amazon in early modernity;
- Indigenous artistic production from the pre-Columbian period to the present.
