This edited volume proposes a theoretical reflection on the different artistic geographies of East-Central Europe (ECE) from an interdisciplinary perspective found at the intersection of art history, art and politics, and critical geography.
Contributors argue that this multiplicity is a defining feature of the region. At the same time, chapters employ the concept of "plural geographies" and call for an equal geography, based on solidarity and an equal distribution of capital, which could allow plural geographies to exist and be described. The "multiple geographies" of ECE consider the perspective of local conditions and emphasize how this region was part of successive empires with an important ethnic diversity and changing borders, giving it historical layers and multicultural characteristics.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, political studies, cultural studies, and geography.
