Summary

The cultural effects of globalization constitute one of the most important challenges for the discipline of art history today. The aim of this publication is to take a critical look at art historical narratives. Based on transcultural object biographies, the volume brings together analyses of objects and images that circulate in transcultural contact zones: their histories of origin, circulation and perception slice through space and time. The histories of these objects and images thus demonstrate in exemplary fashion how knowledge and understanding can be generated, communicated or also challenged in cultural contact zones. Hence, the publication is designed as a methodological contribution to a transcultural art and cultural history. It is also conceived as an instrument for teaching and contains a critical-discursive glossary of key-terms that combines theory and practice of transcultural art history.

Die kulturellen Auswirkungen der Globalisierung gehören heute zu den bedeutendsten Herausforderungen für das Fach Kunstgeschichte. Ziel dieser Publikation ist eine kritische Betrachtung kunsthistorischer Narrative auf der Basis von transkulturellen Objekt-Biografien. Der Band versammelt Analysen von Objekten und Bildern, deren Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichten sich über Kulturräume und Epochen hinwegbewegen. Sie führen beispielhaft vor, wie Wissen und Erkenntnis in kulturellen Kontaktzonen erzeugt, transportiert oder auch herausgefordert werden. Auf diese Weise versteht sich die Publikation als methodischer Beitrag zu einer transkulturellen Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte. Sie ist auch für den Einsatz in der universitären Lehre konzipiert und beinhaltet ein kritisch-diskursives Glossar von Schlüsselbegriffen, die Theorie und Praxis der transkulturellen Kunstgeschichte miteinander verbinden.
