Art historians have frequently been faced with the challenge of writing for an international audience and translating their own work into a foreign language – whether forced by exile, voluntary migration, or simply in order to reach a wider audience.

Migrating Histories of Art aims to study the biographical and academic impact of these self-translations, and how the adoption and processing of foreign-language texts and their corresponding methodologies have been fundamental to the disciplinary discourse of art history. While often creating distinctly „multi-layered“ identities and establishing an international disciplinary discourse, self-translations also fostered the creation of linguistic and methodological hegemonies.
