The Artl@s Bulletin (http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/artlas/) recently came to my attention. This is a peer-reviewed online journal published by the École normale supérieure and the Centre national pour la recherche scientifique in Paris. As its editorial statement (part of which I've pasted in below) makes clear, its concerns are quite relevant to those of many of the constellations and related initiatives, including Itinera and Contemporaneity.
From http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/artlas/about.html
- ARTL@S Bulletin promises to never separate methodology and history, and to support innovative research and new methodologies. Its ambition is twofold: 1. a focus on the “transnational” as constituted by exchange between the local and the global or between the national and the international, and 2. an openness to innovation in research methods, particularly the quantitative possibilities offered by digital mapping and data visualization.
- By encouraging scholars to continuously shift the scope of their analysis from the national to the transnational, ART@S Bulletin intends to contribute to the collective project of a global history of the arts.
- The ARTL@S Bulletin welcomes submissions from scholars worldwide and at every stage in their career throughout the year. As a general guideline, manuscripts submitted to the ARTL@S Bulletin average between 5,000 and 7,000 words, including footnotes. Articles may be in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish.
- The Artl@s Bulletin is indexed by ARTbibliographies Modern.
