| Description | It may seem surprising that the first article published on the new platform Critical Inquiries in Medieval Culture has apparently little to do with medieval culture as such. It deals, however, with figures of émigrés who have durably impacted the field of art history and who also happened to have left their footprint on the field of medieval art history. Above all, it deals with problems inherent to the medieval world and to the world in which we live: the movement of persons — forced or not — as a vector of cultural transfer, creativity, and transformation. Furthermore, this article originated with a reaction contextualized by ongoing work on emigration and art history. |
