This roundtable discussion is the edited version of an online event, Critical Globalism: Perspectives from Early Modern Artistic Networks, held on 12 October 2020 in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) and the Edinburgh Centre for Global History, at the University of Edinburgh. The conversation aims to highlight fractures and disconnections within the field of Global Art History. The combined engagement of academics and curators with diverse disciplinary backgrounds contributes to the questioning of the methodological foundation of global art history as a field and serves to problematize interrelated issues in research, teaching, conservation, and exhibition practices. The scholars gathered are all early modernists but are engaged in a discussion of how the history of a period of intensifying global connections is remembered, taught and displayed today.
