Mannerism, instead of being confined to a system for the periodisation of art history, now becomes a condition in the production of art. |
However, there are also difficulties with the comparative approach, some of the substantive arguments, and the choice of periodisation. |
This periodisation has been criticised for the misconceptions it has given rise to. |
Writers are fleer than critics to ignore the strictures of periodisation, the interminable debates about location and positioning. |
This periodisation goes rather unquestioned in the literature on social democracy, but there are grounds to doubt its veracity. |
I was comforted to see that the late Kurt Rothschild in a recent article which examines the EU's experience from 1960 to 2007 adopts a not dissimilar periodisation. |
