Making Art History is a collection of essays by contemporary
scholars on the practice and theory of art history as it responds
to institutions as diverse as art galleries and museums, publishing
houses and universities, school boards and professional
organizations, political parties and multinational corporations.
The text is split into four thematic sections, each of which
begins with a short introduction from the editor, the sections
include:
- Border Patrols, addresses the artistic canon and its
relationship to the ongoing 'war on terror', globalization, and the
rise of the Belgian nationalist party.
- The Subjects of Art History, questions whether 'art' and
'history' are really what the discipline seeks to understand.
- Instituting Art History, concerns art history and its relation
to the university and raises questions about the mission, habits,
ethics and limits of university today.
- Old Master, New Institutions, shows how art history and the
museum respond to nationalism, corporate management models and the
'culture wars'.
