Per un'ecologia della storia dell'arte (contemporanea)

The article examines how the ‘ecological turn’ – which is reshaping the humanities as a call for renewal and methodological and disciplinary expansion, and which has triggered a genuine epistemological shift, with a shift in focus from an anthropocentric to a more-than-human view, where human beings, as an integral part of nature, recognise the agency of other entities – animals, plants and minerals – and the need to address the environmental emergency at an ecosystemic level, has begun to reverberate through art history.
