Introduction
The Journal of Art History and Culture (RHAC) is a periodical publication associated with the History Postgraduate Programme of the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences of the State University of Campinas (Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas – IFCH/Unicamp). It is also endorsed by Unicamp’s Art History and Archeology Centre (Centro de História da Arte e Arqueologia – CHAA). Its main goal is to promote an ongoing development of Art History and Culture in Brazil, relating them to the field’s international production.
The Journal is the natural continuation of the Revista de História da Arte e Arqueologia (RHAA), which throughout its 24 issues, between 1994 and 2015, became a reference among Brazilian scientific journals in the field, besides being the first to tackle both subject areas analogously.

Both publications are fundamental participants in the area’s uprising interest, which in the History Department of Unicamp crystalizes within the academic fields of Art History and its research lines. This periodical consolidates the commitment with the field and its worldwide dissemination. Its online publication guarantees unrestricted view to all people interested in the discipline.
