The challenge of globalization and the “decolonization” of our way of thinking have become a major concern for most art historians. While it is still too early to assess the impact on the discipline of the “Global turn”—a turn that is all the more timid that it materializes more slowly in public collections and public opinions than in books—we nonetheless wanted to probe scholars who are paying close attention to the new practices in global art history. Coming from different cultural milieus and academic traditions, and belonging to different generations, they agreed to answer our questions, and to share with us their insights, questions, doubts, but also hopes for the discipline. This survey must be regarded as a dialogue in progress: other conversations will follow and will contribute to widening the range of critical perspectives on art history and the Global challenge.

En este libro investigo el modo en que el archivo burocrático le dio forma a la práctica artística en el siglo XX, del montaje dadaísta a la instalación finisecular. Más específicamente, propongo que el uso de archivos en el arte de fines del siglo XX reacciona en una variedad de formas al asalto de las vanguardias de los inicios de esa centuria contra la objetivización (y fetichización) del tiempo lineal y el proceso histórico. A lo largo del ensayo espero hallar respuestas tentativas a algunas interrogantes formuladas por Allan Sekula en el ensayo “El cuerpo y el archivo”: “¿Hasta qué grado la práctica modernista autorreflexiva se acomodó al modelo del archivo? ¿Hasta qué grado los modernistas, consciente o inconscientemente, resisten o subvierten el modelo del archivo?”1 . Al archivo al que hace referencia Sekula se lo percibe como una clave del sueño moderno del control total de la abarcadora disciplina administrativa; es decir, como un gigante archivero en el centro de una real...

The paper considers epistemological aspects of Hanne Darboven's work: can collecting be considered a form of reading? I also relate to Darboven's work a "didactic" dimension - the term here drawn from discussions of conceptual art in the mid-1960s, when didactic was not (yet) only a bad word. The article was published in an exhibition catalogue for a Darboven show at Reina Sofia, Madrid.

The paper focuses on the difference between what I am terming *horizontal and vertical archives* and on art practices for which conventional archival taxonomies may no longer be adequate.
