Presentation

IDEA – Interdisciplinary Discourses, Education and Analysis launches a call for articles for its new issue dedicated to Visual History.

History has been widely represented by visual arts and this fact has changed, from multiple points of view, our approach to historical facts and to historical knowledge. Cinema, photography, television, the media, but also painting and comics, have read, interpreted and told history in many different ways and styles. While their nature as incontrovertible truths remains absolutely central, historical facts, and different historical periods, have been perceived in new different manners after becoming objects of visual representation. On one side, historical facts, periods, characters, social forms, but also visions of history and of historical truth, have been elaborated in visual forms, becoming relevant historical narrations ; on the other, images of history have strongly contributed to a more articulated knowledge of the past, but also of recent and very recent history. Representing the past in visual and audiovisual forms deals with different aims : popularizing historical knowledge, narrating history, elaborating forms of public history, sharing artistic re-interpretations of the past, sharing memories and building processes of remembrance and knowledge of the past. What are the tensions between historical reconstruction and visual evocation of history through visual means ? How do they define the interdisciplinary space of interaction, between creation and reconstruction, between imagination and fact, between art and science ? What type of scientific operation is defined by different forms of visual history ? Is there a common space of work between storytelling and history narrating ? Under what light can the forms of visual history be acknowledged as scientific spaces of elaboration ? Or do they describe operations of imaginary work on the past ?

As viewers, critics, authors, theorists, and researchers, our attention has been often focused on the multiple ways in which historical moments or periods have been chosen by visual arts such as film, photography, television, or other intermedia practices in the contemporary context. This IDEA’s new issue, dedicated to visual history, aims to develop new interdisciplinary research itineraries and strategies by gathering together scholars from a series of study fields such as historiography, film and media studies, memory studies, and anthropology.

The journal issue intends to question the disciplinary boundaries between some scholarly areas and to shape new research paradigms in the contexts of historiography, the epistemology of history, the anthropology of representations, memory studies, and film studies.

We are interested in articles aiming to propose an academic contribution in developing the research debate on the subjects mentioned above.

Selection process

Received abstracts are subject to an initial screening and judged by the Editorial Board. In the event that there are guest editors for a specific issue, abstracts will be reviewed and judged by the coordinator(s).

If their abstracts are selected, authors will then be invited to send their manuscripts. Contributions are read by as many of the editorial collective as possible. The final decision rests with the group of issue editors, and will depend on the balance of articles in those issues as well as on the merits of the work itself for what concerns research focus, originality, overall organization of the proposed article, and adequacy to research standards for the specific theme/subject.

When preparing their texts for submission, authors should refer to the Referencing Guide File. The articles length should be between 5000 and 7000 words, excluding notes. Should your article be longer than this, please contact the Editorial Board.

The Editorial Board, or the issue coordinators, decide whether the article is to be accepted, accepted with revisions, or rejected. In the second case, authors are invited to revise the article according to the recommendations before resubmitting it. The authors then will have a reasonable time to undertake the changes needed and resubmit the article.
