Interventions since 1990 undertakes a thorough methodological reexamination of the contribution of art to history writing
and to its theoretical foundations. The analytical instrument of anachrony comes to the fore as an experimental method, as
will (para)fiction, counterfactual history, testimonies, ghosts and spectres of the past, utopia, and the "juridification"
of history. Eva Kernbauer argues that contemporary art—developing its own conceptual approaches to temporality and to historical
research—offers fruitful strategies for creating historical consciousness and perspectives for political agency.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, historiography, and contemporary art.
