The journal explores themes related to the Enlightenment, including the evolution of scientific inquiry, human rights, and the role of reason in shaping modernity.
Trending and Emerging
- Visual Narratives and Iconography:
Recent publications highlight a trend towards exploring the narrative and iconographic dimensions of visual art, particularly through the works of Caravaggio, indicating a deeper engagement with the meaning and impact of images. - Philosophical Intersections with Science:
There is a growing focus on the intersections between philosophy and science during the Enlightenment, examining how philosophical thought influenced scientific developments and vice versa. - The Role of Spectatorship:
An emerging theme is the exploration of spectatorship in art, particularly how viewers engage with and interpret iconic images, which has implications for understanding agency and perception in early modern culture. - Revisiting Enlightenment Ideals:
Papers are increasingly revisiting Enlightenment ideals, discussing their relevance to modern issues such as individual rights, governance, and the nature of knowledge, signaling a revival of interest in this critical period. - Cultural Collecting and Knowledge Production:
The journal is also seeing a trend towards examining the practices of collecting and the production of knowledge in the early modern period, reflecting on how these practices shaped cultural narratives and identities.
Declining or Waning
- Focus on Medieval Philosophy:
There appears to be a waning interest in medieval philosophical themes, as recent publications increasingly prioritize early modern thinkers and their contributions rather than earlier medieval thought. - Traditional Historical Narratives:
There is a noticeable decrease in articles that adhere strictly to traditional historical narratives, with a growing inclination towards more nuanced and complex interpretations of early modern events and ideas. - Alchemical Studies:
Interest in alchemical studies has diminished, with fewer papers exploring this theme, possibly due to a shift towards more contemporary scientific discussions and methodologies. - Eurocentric Perspectives:
The journal is moving away from exclusively Eurocentric perspectives, reflecting a broader trend in academia towards inclusivity and the examination of global contexts in early modern studies. - Reductionist Views on Art:
Analyses that reduce artistic expression solely to technical or stylistic elements are less frequent, as there is a growing emphasis on the socio-political and philosophical dimensions of art.
