Ziel der Tagung ist es zum einen, die Vorstellungshorizonte und Bewertungen, die mit künstlerischer Spontaneität verbunden wurden und werden, über eine Rekonstruktion der jeweiligen Werkprozesse auszuloten und auf diese Weise Spontaneitätsmythen zu begegnen. Zum anderen gilt es, die Bedeutungen und Funktionen solcher Herstellungsverfahren, seien sie künstlerischer, ideologischer oder historiographischer Art, zu analysieren und historisch zu kontextualisieren.

From racially and financially motivated scholarship to the pseudo-science of conspiracy theories, art historical boogeymen are ubiquitous. The discipline of art history has deep, potentially inseverable, roots in explicitly nationalistic discourses and the relationships between art history and unsavoury political regimes are written into the scholarly record. Quarantining what we might think of as art historical contagion, however, let alone inoculating the discipline against its past infections, is far from straightforward. Contagion as a metaphor is rich with value and has proven productive in certain historical moments.
