Call for papers RIHA Journal Special Issue

RIHA Journal (http://www.riha-journal.org) invites submissions for its
Special Issue:

"Beyond boundaries. Artists and art critics from Central and Eastern Europe
in the West"

The aim of the Special Issue is to present artists and art critics from
Central and Eastern Europe who gained a special position in the Western
Art World and played an important role in the development of art and
art criticism. Many of them, well-known in the West (i.e., France,
Germany, Great Britain), stayed almost unknown in their homelands
although their output was imposing. The Special Issue is not confined
to one particular period or one country. Papers may deal with figures
active through all the centuries (from the Middle Ages to contemporary
times).

Guiding questions:
1. Mechanics of success
2. Relations with local/national artistic milieu
3. Reception and evaluation by the local/national artistic milieu
4. Fate (from fame to oblivion)

We welcome papers in English, French and Polish. Suitable submissions will
be sent to two expert peer reviewers for blind peer review.

Texts should not exceed 50,000 characters (incl. footnotes and spaces)
and include no more than 15 images. For the format of bibliographic
references please consult the RIHA Journal styleguide at
http://www.riha-journal.org/about/for-authors/style-guide. No
particular electronic formatting is required. Please keep the
electronic formatting of your manuscript as simple as possible.

Submission deadline: 30 November 2013.

Envisaged date of publication of the Special Issue: October 2014.

The Special Issue will be edited by the Institute of Art, Polish Academy of
Sciences (ISPAN), Warsaw.

Please send your submissions to:

Prof. Dr hab. Anna Wierzbicka and Dr Dariusz Konstantynów
