Philosophy of Artl@s Bulletin

The Artl@s Bulletin is a blind peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary journal devoted to spatial and transnational questions in the history of the arts, which publishes two to three thematic issues every year. .

If you would like to contribute to the journal with an article or propose a theme for a future issue, please contact the editors Catherine Dossin (cdossin @ purdue.edu) and Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel (beatrice.joyeux-prunel @ unige.ch ). We welcome suggestions, ideas, and submissions from scholars worldwide and at every stage in their career. However, an expression of interest on the part of the editors is not an assurance of publication. Articles considered for publication are subject to blind peer review. The review process typically takes 3 to 4 months.

For more information on the Artl@s Bulletin, please see the About the Journal page.
