Resumen de The subject in/of art history
Part of a symposium on the subject in art history and the subject of art history. The writer notes that recent art history postulates that subjects are constructed in relation to artworks. He argues that the idea of a subject-constituting artwork, in its strong and specific form, is false. More precisely, he contends that artworks are subject-constituting for reasons that are largely unrelated, and historically prior, to their production as artworks.
