24 Many other institutions in Britain and the US followed in establishing social history of art and feminist courses at under- and post-graduate level. 25 The arcane complexities of abstract theorising in radical art history and other humanities disciplines, if not thought through very carefully in terms of pedagogic practice, can mirror this exclusiveness. 26 Given the general decline in Left and feminist activism throughout the world in the 1990s – though other forms of oppositional organisation, based on, for example, racial identity and sexualorientation politics, have grown in the same period – there is a real danger that radical art history might become simply another academicism, largely unconnected to the world outside.
Rowbotham, L. Segal and H. Wainwright Beyond the Fragments: Feminism and the Making of Socialism, London: Merlin, 1979. For an overview of debates within feminism in relation to art and art history, and an extensive bibliography, see Thalia Gouma-Peterson and Patricia Mathews ‘The Feminist Critique of Art History’, Art Bulletin, September 1987: 327–57. One of the best introductions to deconstruction remains Christopher Norris’ succinct Deconstruction: Theory and Practice, London: Methuen, 1982.
To recapitulate then. I have identified radical art history as the appropriate name for a set of interacting currents of work in art history produced after 1970, genetically related to the ‘moment of May 1968’ and the emergence of the New Left, and concerned to produce social and political accounts of art and culture. Marxist and feminist radical art historians (particularly the latter) also devoted a good deal of their time to examining and denouncing contemporary mainstream or ‘institutionally dominant’ art history, as Fred Orton and Griselda Pollock called it.
