"An open-access journal devoted to progressive scholarship on medieval art.
Different Visions aims for inclusive publishing and welcomes a variety of approaches and topics reflecting the diversity of medieval visual and material culture. It publishes work that engages with all forms of critical theory, including Premodern Critical Race Studies, Gender Studies, the global Middle Ages, and Medievalism. The journal also seeks integrated, socially-engaged, or pedagogical projects that examine the role of medieval visual culture in our contemporary world. In addition, the journal welcomes projects that work at the intersection of medieval art history and the digital humanities. Unlike a traditional print journal, the e-format of Different Visions accommodates dynamic and interactive new media. We invite submissions that include digital content, including but not limited to film and audio clips, three-dimensional models, and gigapixel and spherical panoramas."--About page.
"Radical, majority QPOC collective making DIY research-based zines focusing on police violence: a history of the 2015 Baltimore Uprising told through teens' tweets; a 150-year compendium of cats attacking cops. Our zines draw from primary source documents and other archival materials, photocopied and bound by us and always sold pay-what-you-wish."-- 2019 Printed Matter Art Book Fair
"Marking the Museum’s entrance into online publishing, Altered States: Etching in Late 19th-Century Paris combines a scholarly collection of essays with a video glossary of printmaking techniques. The online publication compliments the exhibition by the same name that was on view at the RISD Museum June 30 –December 3, 2017.
In late 19th-century Paris, the printmaking process of etching underwent a revolutionary transformation. At a time when prints were usually made as copies of paintings rather than as original works of art, a revival of interest in etching led to greater knowledge of technique, allowing artists to experiment with subject matter and process more than ever before. The publication focuses on the creativity and experimentation that proliferated in these years, during and after etching’s revival, and the centrality in this important shift."
