Résumé anglais | Art history and cannibals, Laurence Bertrand Dorléac. A borderline discipline by nature, surrounded by better established scientific fields, art history carved for itself in the past a pure identity, without grasping the strength it could derive from its crossroads position. At a time in which nobody doubts any longer the importance of the study of works of art for an understanding of the world, its members are more and more divided on the behavior to adopt : a fearful withdrawal of the institution (an already long-tested tactic) or a permanent dialogue with the audiences, mediators and neighboring disciplines which make up many of its actors. Between internalists, advocates of an intransigent isolation and holders of an antiquarian tradition, and externalists, favorable to scientific opening up and debate, there is now a war, intensified by the renewal of the status of culture in France. | |
