Appel à contributions : journée d’études de la revue Marges : « Qu’est-ce que la recherche-création ? »
Date limite d’envoi des propositions : 15 juin 2023
La question de la recherche-création occupe une place de plus en plus importante ces dernières années au sein des réflexions sur l’art. Il s’agit de rompre avec une vision surannée de la création artistique qui voudrait que les artistes se contentent de puiser en eux-mêmes la matière de leurs œuvres (en une sorte d’introspection infinie), au profit d’autres modèles où les œuvres sont davantage ouvertes, processuelles, exploratoires, ne produisant pas nécessairement d’objets mais mettant à profit des réseaux . . . → En lire plus

Histoire publique et bande dessinée : actualité et potentialités des écritures et des usages de l’histoire en bande dessinée
Face à l’objet qu’est l’histoire, les auteurs de bande dessinée ont multiplié les approches. Pascal Ory en a défini deux, majeures et toujours d’actualité : la bande dessinée historique, où l’histoire est un décor exotique et un prétexte aux aventures des personnages, et la bande dessinée historienne, attentive à la véracité des faits et au sens de l’histoire – avec toutes les nuances et les circulations qui existent entre ces catégories poreuses.
Si un tournant du récit d’aventure historique est amorcé par les éditions Glénat dans les années 1970-1980, avec les magazines Circus (1975) puis Vécu (1985), la bande dessinée historique est . . . → En lire plus
The 11th AISU International Congress Beyond the Gaze. Interpreting and Understanding the City
Session 6.10 The construction site within the city and the territory in modern European cities
From: Valentina Burgassi Deadline: May 15, 2023
Coordinators: Gaia Nuccio (Università degli Studi di Palermo), Valentina Burgassi (Politecnico di Torino) E-mail: gaia.nuccio@unipa.it
Construction and building site practices gained a significant place in architectural history studies of the last thirty years, as fundamental elements for the investigation and understanding of the built environment; however, the role of the building site within the urban and territorial context, studied through its iconography, represents a more recent topic of interest and susceptible to further investigation. The image of the progress of a building site is perhaps « »plus captivante que celle de l’oeuvre bâtie, plusvivante, pluspuissante . . . → En lire plus

Sous son slogan habituel « Les sources au travail! », la neuvième édition de l’Université d’été de la Bibliothèque Kandinsky (5-13 juillet 2023) entend questionner ce que la queerness fait au musée, à la bibliothèque, aux archives, et inversement, ce qu’il advient d’elle dans le contexte institutionnel.

In the 1920-30s, France was a transnational laboratory of ideas, with Paris hailed as the capital of modernity. However, new intellectual and artistic trends were often imported by immigrants, many of them from Central and Eastern Europe (Fotiade 2001; Tihanov 2004). After Berlin declined as a diasporic capital in the early 1930s, thousands of Eastern Europeans settled in Paris. The influx of innovative currents of thought (Marxism; phenomenology; existential thought) and artistic avant-gardes (Dadaism; Futurism; Surrealism) from Central and Eastern Europe radically shifted cultural life in France between the wars. The significance of Paris as the capital of Russians who fled the Revolution and Civil . . . → En lire plus

Journée d’études, Vendredi 17 novembre 2023, Université de Lausanne
Dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, la jeune discipline de l’histoire de l’art s’inté- resse peu à peu à l’architecture qui marque la fin de la période qualifiée jusqu’alors de Renaissance et qui prendra bientôt le nom générique de Baroque. Au même mo- ment, les architectes se penchent sur les formes révélées par les scientifiques et les adaptent aux édifices contemporains, faisant ainsi revivre les différentes expressions en vogue sous l’Ancien Régime.

Le arti a Roma nel secondo Seicento

Si invitano studiose e studiosi a presentare contributi innovativi ed inediti che gettino luce sul secondo Seicento a Roma, un periodo di passaggio estremamente affascinante e complesso, segnato da importanti avvenimenti (dalla scomparsa di artisti come Pietro da Cortona, Nicolas Poussin e Gian Lorenzo Bernini, alla fondazione dell’Académie de France e dell’Accademia dell’Arcadia, fino all’inizio del collezionismo da Grand Tour) e ricco di tendenze stilistiche che convivono, di artisti sommi e di tanti comprimari che partecipano della vita artistica della città, contribuendo al suo rigoglio.

Conference organised by the Society for Art History in Finland and the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki.
In the last decades established art historical canons and narratives have increasingly been challenged. Intersectionality, decolonisation, transnational approaches, and the introduction of global art history are only a few examples of the modes of thinking that have gradually emerged from the margins to mainstream art history.
Conventional ways of constructing periodisations and genres based on notions of national specificity and the idea of progress have become highly questionable in the context of recent political, societal, and cultural developments. The urgency of generating new approaches and conceptual and methodological tools has become indisputable. Global and transnational perspectives have not only questioned the self-evidence of national canons, but also that . . . → En lire plus
The Portuguese Association of Art Historians (APHA) is currently promoting the V Congress of Art History, with the theme “Art History: Legacies, Debates and New Perspectives”. This meeting aims to encourage and affirm the area of Art History in the national scientific environment and to project it internationally. We therefore appeal to the active participation of all those who make the discipline their modus vivendi, such as researchers, scholars, teachers, students and other professionals connected with heritage, whether in monuments or museums, or in town councils, libraries or archives.
Interested in discussing and reconsidering the concept of the discipline, its own work methodology and the main challenges faced today by the art historian, APHA proposes three distinct areas of reviewing: the theoretical inheritance received by the local Art . . . → En lire plus
Conference: Historical Fragments: Making, Breaking, and Remaking, hosted by the Material and Visual Culture in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Research Cluster, The University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh College of Art.
Taking ‘fragmentation’ as the conceptual starting point for the day, the Material and Visual Culture in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries Research Cluster is hosting a one-day hybrid conference that considers the materiality and shifting conditions of global objects and collections (focusing on the time period 1500-1800) as they are broken, fragmented, remade, or assembled. Seeking to investigate the ‘brokenness’ of such material culture objects and collections, the conference will de-centre conservation and restoration which often dominate discourse on the subject.
The Research Cluster aims to provide a space to foster interdisciplinary discussion centred around approaching fragmented objects . . . → En lire plus
“To tear these images from time”: Exploring Visual Representations from Nazi Camps, Ghettos, and the Holocaust.
The chair for Art History at Jena University seeks applications for an international conference that will take place in Jena from October 9-12, 2023. The conference will probe the potential of analytical approaches to drawings, sculptures, albums, paintings, and other visual artifacts that were created in extremis within National Socialist camps, ghettos, and in hiding as well as in the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust and World War II.
It is due to the great merit of a few persistent survivors, archivists, and historians that the scattered artifacts were collected, and the biographies and circumstances of production recorded. However, in particular images depicting Nazi crimes through mostly figurative means have been widely neglected in . . . → En lire plus
