We strongly recommend checking the journal’s author guidelines before submitting an article.<br><br>The materials and technologies of the contemporary art invite us to reconsider, not only the role that these play in the articulation of artistic practices, but also the theoretical frameworks that demonstrate the role of the materiality itself inside the Art History. These premises involve new methodological challenges and important epistemological transformations in the examination of art; challenges that must be analysed, discussed and contrasted with the long and fertile tradition of Art Studies. Fundamental problems such as the distribution of the agencies involved in the research and the artistic practice, the lines of temporal causality, the interconnection between materialities and discursivities, the role of technology and society, the spatiality and location of Art, gain relevance from the suggested challenges.<br><br>This Special Section of Artnodes Journal welcomes those researches that rebuild the relation between art and its materiality: contributions focused on theoretical, methodological and epistemological reconsiderations and, specially, empirical studies centered on art routines and infrastructures. Perspectives such as Media Archaeology, the Actor-Network Theory or the New Materialisms contribute decisively to the possibility of blurring or even erasing preconceived ontological distinctions –inoperative today-, traditionally supported by the framework of our modernity. </p><p style="margin:1em 0px;color:rgb(113,110,105);font-family:tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;line-height:15.680000305175781px">More info here: </p><p style="margin:1em 0px;color:rgb(113,110,105);font-family:tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px;line-height:15.680000305175781px"><a href="http://artnodes.uoc.edu/index.php/artnodes/pages/view/call-for-papers">http://artnodes.uoc.edu/index.php/artnodes/pages/view/call-for-papers</a></p></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><br><br><br>+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br><br><div>Dr. Pau Alsina <div><br>Professor dels Estudis d'Arts i Humanitats<br></div><div>Universitat Oberta de Catalunya<br><div><a href="http://arts-humanitats.uoc.edu" target="_blank">http://www.uoc.edu</a><br><br></div><div>Director d'Artnodes </div><div>Revista d'art, ciència i tecnologia</div><div><a href="http://artnodes.uoc.edu/" target="_blank">http://artnodes.uoc.edu</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>(+34) 93 254 (2176) | <a href="mailto:palsinag@uoc.edu" target="_blank">palsinag@uoc.edu</a><br>Av.
