The problem of the body and its representation has for some decades been considered one of the major themes in the history of culture and is a subject of an enquiry that is dealt with by various disciplines. Its centrality in the development of the scientific, artistic and historical thought of the medieval, modern and contemporary age, as well as in a historiographical and methodological reflection, and in the different approaches that define Western civilization in a non-unique way, will be the topic of the next issue of Venezia Arti. The various forms of body representation, its design, its visions, its deformations, and also the many forms of relationship that the body establishes inside the work of art itself – from the dynamics of creation to the engaging relationship with the viewer, to the experienced cognitive backgrounds – will be inquired, from the canon to the different post-human declinations.
