Since 2015, the centenary of the original publication, the Swiss art historian\u2019s work has been the subject of renewed interest, spurring readers to reinterpret it in the light of contemporary debates. A new edition by L\u2019Ecarquill\u00e9 has just been published.\u00a0At the same time, the University of Zurich has been preparing a critical edition of the author\u2019s complete works for almost a decade, in paper and digital versions,<sup>\u00a0<\/sup>edited by Tristan Weddigen, Oskar B\u00e4tschmann\u00a0and Joris van Gastel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have the opportunity to revisit this emblematic figure from a critical point of view with the help of two young researchers: R\u00e9mi Mermet, FNRS postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles, who holds a doctorate in philosophy and art history, and Giovanna Targia, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Zurich, who holds a doctorate in art history and is a member of the editorial team for the complete works of W\u00f6lfflin. How can the \u201cprinciples\u201d of W\u00f6lfflin\u2019s art history prove relevant today, at a time when art history is rethinking itself in the light of critical readings of Western historiography and when the very concept of its subject \u2013art\u2013 is called into question by theoretical perspectives which relativise its significance and dissipate its specificity within a de-hierarchized relationship to cultural forms?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Publication in issue\u00a0No. 63 | Fall\/Winter 2024\u00a0of the journal\u00a0CRITIQUE D\u2019ART\u00a0of an interview with R\u00e9mi Mermet and Giovanna Targia about the Principles of Art History.
