Les recherches sur la couleur ont été marquées par le débat des années 1960-1970 qui a opposé, sur le terrain africain, les tenants de la classification de l’évolution des langues en fonction des noms de couleurs, et ceux qui montraient la diversité de la perception et de la catégorisation des couleurs dans les populations classées comme primitives par les premiers. Cela montrait et montre encore aujourd’hui combien ce thème est un révélateur de questions sociales sur la perception de soi-même et des autres.

La « régence absolue » fait le lien entre le long règne de Louis XIV et celui, encore naissant, de Louis XV. Existe-t-il un portrait politique du Régent qui s’appuie sur l’iconographie du corps sacré du roi, que ce soit celle de son illustre aïeul comme de . . . → En lire plus

Il y explique comment l’art peut être étudié comme un produit social dont la consommation révèle des marqueurs sociaux, des interactions sociales au sein de la classe dirigeante, ainsi que des processus de stratification sociale. En sociologie, il s’agit d’une des premières fois où la relation entre les beaux-arts et la classe dirigeante fut mise en avant.

From Iacopo Sannazaro’s lyric evocation of the Campania landscape in his Arcadia to Giambattista Vico’s attempts to anchor human civilisation in man’s existential confrontation with the forces of nature, the literary, visual and scientific culture of early modern Naples is deeply grounded in the city’s natural environment. Ever since Jacob Burckhardt wrote dismissively of «das prunkliebende Neapel», the city’s culture has been characterised as both derivative and excessive.
