Artistic geographies is a series of art-historical and literary studies that critically questions how the arts and letters are shaped by physical and cultural landscapes and how such landscapes are influenced by artistic and literary practices. The series welcomes contributions of various kinds that investigate the geographical distribution of sources and objects of art and architecture, the mobility of artists and works, the networks of clients and the market, the methods of transmission of styles, techniques and materials, the circulation of themes and models, the registers of communication between artists and writers, according to perspectives sensitive to environmental studies, debates on cultural heritage, and themes of human geography. Through a plurality of voices, methods and languages, the series immerses itself with historical and philological rigor in the mobile geographies of the arts to investigate more closely the life of cultural places, in which spaces of sociability intertwine and open up to cosmopolitan receptions, beyond the boundaries of national identity rhetoric and the dichotomies between public and private, center and periphery, local dimension and global dimension of artistic and literary making. Artistic Geographies presents itself as a new crossroads between different disciplines that wish to deepen the understanding of these relationships, opening up new historiographical narratives and new opportunities for collaboration and critical reflection.
