The sixth issue of the Journal of Latin Cosmopolitanism and European Literatures forms a diptych with the forthcoming seventh issue, scheduled to appear in Spring 2022. Its title, Winckelmann’s Victims, was the topic of a three-day conference that took place at Ghent University in September 2018. At the heart of the two issues lies the question of classical normativity—with its prejudices and exclusions—and the way in which it affected European cultural self-fashioning (through both art and literature). While issue seven will predominantly deal with literary normativity, the classics and their canonicity, this issue tackles the problem from a more purely art-historical point of view, looking at how Winckelmann’s thinking influenced our ideas and perception of the classical norm.
