What are these reasons and which starting point can be linked to a certain art historian, how and why?&#160;AHS publishes material, dealing with all time periods and/or methodologies, media (incl. cinema, photography, music), techniques, debates within the field of art history.&#160;Contributions to AHS from any other science or discipline (humanitarian or not) corresponding to visual culture or representations of it are more than welcome.&#160;Refer to Art Histories Society website (www.arths.org.uk) for more information&#160;&#160;&#160;
