Colloque : « Reconnaissance et consécration artistiques »

Si les questions de reconnaissance et de consécration se situent au cœur de toute analyse des univers artistiques et culturels, c’est que ces derniers sont fondés sur des propriétés spécifiques et pour le moins paradoxales. En effet, relativement à d’autres domaines, les mondes de l’art se caractérisent par l’importance majeure que les professionnels comme les publics accordent à la valeur symbolique des œuvres et des artistes et par le désintéressement affiché ou, du moins, la dénégation assumée concernant la valeur et les profits économiques. Ainsi, au sein de ces univers, la hiérarchisation des artistes et des œuvres s’organise essentiellement selon la logique de l’accumulation du capital symbolique. Or, paradoxalement, l’évaluation de la qualité ou . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Making Space for Festival, 1400-1700. Interactions of Architecture and Performance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Festivals » (Venise, mars 2013)

The conference will consider how princely and civic architecture of the period, together with ephemeral architecture constructed for the occasion, have contributed to the implied meaning of a diverse series of festivals across Europe between approximately 1400 and 1700. Scholars have interpreted festivals as temporarily transformative, through visual and dramatic agency, of the political and social significance of great houses and palaces. They have argued further that perceptions of a city’s built environment and princely houses were subject to idealising transformation as a result of ephemeral structures and performed actions during the occasion itself, and subsequently by means of festival books and other records. Festivals were notable occasions of social and political exchange affecting . . . → En lire plus

The Announcement: Annunciations and beyond

Interdisciplinary Conference at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut 2 – 4 May 2013 Deadline: 30. November 2012

The Annunciation is, first of all, a long tradition of representations of ‘the’ Annunciation, the one narrated in the Gospel of Lucas: a ‘caesura’ in which everything changed, but also the fragment of time in which this change was made known. An announcement of a birth to come, of course, but also of death, resurrection and redemption. Daniel Arasse established the essential link between the evolution of . . . → En lire plus

Celestial Bodies and their Orbit in Art

The visible planets and the stars have provided important themes and images for artistic practitioners in almost all human cultures. Ancient peoples made close observations of planetary orbits, and constructed complex calendars upon this data. Awareness of astral influences upon the Earth also supported the allocation of various attributes to individual planets, stars and constellations, as well as their deification. Thus, the celestial bodies, and their representations, have played key roles within a wide range of discursive practices, . . . → En lire plus
