Deadline: 15 April, 2014

Among the increasingly monarchic arena of Early Modern Europe, the powerful Italian cities of Genoa, Rome, and Venice are exceptional. Genoa and Venice, the largest remaining republics in Italy, predominated the financial, mercantile, and military spheres of the Mediterranean. Rome’s religious authority and historical cachet, along with its sizable territory, were the foundations of its leading position.

Houses as Museums/Museums as Houses

The relationship between museums and domestic spaces is a long and complex one. Museums were born in the houses of collectors, while the reconstruction of the house or domestic room – of ‘home’, effectively – continues to be an influential if controversial model for museum display. On the other hand, museums have at times invested heavily in the idea of their spaces as public, scientific and definitively non-domestic. The line between house and museum is therefore also one between public and private, scientific and domestic; and house-museums/museum-houses have acted both to confirm, to . . . → En lire plus

International Conference. Zurich, October 9-11 2014

Organizers: Prof. Dr. David Ganz (University of Zurich) Prof. Dr. Barbara Schellewald (University of Basel)

In a traditional perspective, book religions are seen as agents of logocentrism, establishing a sharp dichotomy between scripture and aesthetics, religion and art. This judgment was based primarily on dogmatic assumptions and posterior idealizations, however. In the light of their material, performative and artistic practice, religions of the book show a surprisingly strong tendency to evolve their own »aesthetics of inlibration«. Especially in pretypographic cultures, »clothing« sacred texts with precious materials and ornate forms was a powerful instrument for creating a . . . → En lire plus

The theme of this 40th colloquium is the art of getting away, an exploration of exotic or dreamlike escapes that were evoked, depicted, or acted out in the visual arts of nineteenth-century France. What methods, projects, theories, expressions, or modes of representation and visual thought encouraged escapism and flight to new philosophies, to dreams of a new life, or to new social imaginaries? And what were artists fleeing? Political regimes? Constraining artistic conventions from the academic tradition? An oppressive bourgeois morality in the rise of the industrial revolution?
