Early Modern period towns in the Czech lands as a subject of art-historical research over the past twenty years
2013
Abstract
The year 1989 brought new methodological and institutional impulses to the field of art-historical research. The discipline is both demarcated and enriched by interdisciplinary approaches from the fields of cultural history, cultural and social anthropology, the new history of art or social linguistics.
The ""national"" perspective gives way, including for reasons beyond the fields, to a transnational view which, however, has had only partial success. New possibilities have opened up for heritage care, including transcendent attempts as its theoretical-methodological establishment; nevertheless, the problem of protecting monuments stems from corruption in public administration and the senseless devastation of cultural value.
