Since the global turn in the early 2000s concepts of transnationalism abound in the field of art his- tory, in addition to radically changing the discipline’s topography. Increasingly the fixed national frameworks that once characterized art historical scholarship are eclipsed by seemingly fluid inter- regional flows, diasporic cultural matrices, mobility and globalized interactions. This 2-day work- shop explores the current state of transnationalism in the field, with an interest in understanding new methodologies in transnational research within art history and directions for future scholar- ship. It considers various modalities and theorizations of transnationalism including, but not limit- ed to trans-spaces of imagination (transpacific and transatlantic connections), forms of worlding and minor transnationalisms. Some of the workshop’s animating questions are: what new spatiali- ties can be drawn under transnational frames? How have the flux of mobility combined with new technologies since the late 1960s shaped global, nomadic artistic subjectivities? In what ways are these subjectivities still circumscribed by their national origins? In what ways do concepts of deterritorialization and dislocation serve as a model to describe artistic processes unhinged from geographical, territorial, national or regional importance?
This workshop, part of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amster- dam and organized in collaboration with the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, proposes to share and discuss work on art from and in relation to the Global South, highlighting the history and operation of transnationalism as it relates to these geographies, while also taking into account possible axes of solidarity and relational fields of production.
