The interdisciplinary sub-field of social art history, which combines formal visual analysis with historical, social, and aesthetic research, offers a pathway forward toward this integration. Details about the sub-field’s history and debates over its practice can be found in the work of Vladimir Friche and Arnold Hauser—its founders, as well as in the writings of Herbert Read and T. J. Clark, two authors who contributed significantly to the sub-field’s expansion. However, since this essay aims not to provide a textual description of the state of the sub-field, but to show what social art history can reveal about visual images and what those revelations can add to our discipline, I will turn now to two pictures completed in 1934: Aleksandr Samokhvalov’s At the Rope Winch (from the series Female Metro Builders) and Solomon Nikritin’s The People’s Court.

The article analyses the phenomenon of positive representation in Soviet caricatures devoted to international relations.

Musical notation has enjoyed universal recognition for centuries, whereas dance notation has remained comparatively underdeveloped and conceptually challenging. As a kinetic and embodied art form, dance requires a system of notation capable of reflecting its visual, affective, and technical dimensions while at the same time meeting the normative demands of stage practice.

Может ли кино быть субъектом, а не объектом особой чувственности? В своей книге Дарина Поликарпова утверждает, что да; более того, идея эта не нова и восходит к опытам Дзиги Вертова, Жана Эпштейна и других ранних практиков и теоретиков кино. Увлекшееся в последние десятилетия антропоцентрическими подходами, киноведение перестало учитывать уникальную природу кинематографа, сводя его к тексту, ...
