'One of the dilemmas that national museums face in the age of globalization is that while they have been established with the original purpose of representing a nation’s identity, they are also riddled with the task of examining the nature of such a role. The museum continues to operate within the framework of national and/or local identities, but the fact that there is a conspicuous move to attempt an alternative narrative—one that differs from the critical practices regarding the system or institution—under the name of contemporary art is also very true. In the face of this paradox, the journal selected the following questions connected to the special theme of this issue on transnationalism: How does transnationalism manifest itself within artistic practices? Is a new interpretation of art history that crosses national borders possible? Is a transnationalistic, or global curating, a possibility?' - extracted from publisher's website
