Methodological Frameworks for a Defiant Region

Reflections on methodology are at the forefront of today’s humanistic endeavors. They are reshaping not only the practice of the humanities and social sciences; they are imaginatively redefining disciplinary boundaries. In this regard an early version of Mathew Rampley’s essay motivated me to capitalize on the editors’ invitation to organize a special issue of Umění/Art to which invited scholars representing an array of perspectives, nationalities, and professional commitments might productively engage methodological issues central to our academic discipline. The reflections advanced in the following essays thus exhort us to think afresh about how to treat the artifacts, critical contexts, and multiple meanings of Central European modern art specifically, and modern art as a whole.
