Over the last three years the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, the Cluster of Excellence “Asia and Europe in Global Context” of Heidelberg University and the program Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices have been collaborating in a series of workshops under the overarching title “Terminologies and Art Histories”. The workshop on 12-13 December 2016 in Florence discusses primarily the ways art-historical discourses engage with historical aesthetic terms, modes of description and the denomination of artefacts in a variety of languages—including, for example, Sanskrit, Chinese, Nahuatl, Greek, Farsi, Arab and African—both in the premodern and modern period (with an emphasis on the first).
