Call for Papers

In most societies the heroic is in many ways gendered. When considering the heroic, attributes of masculinity might first come to mind. Yet, from a historical perspective it becomes apparent that heroizations often also have feminine connotations. The social and cultural production of the heroic cannot be analyzed exclusively in terms of masculinity (and masculinity-studies), nor can we regard women or femininity simply as exceptions in this field. Rather, the relational character of . . . → En lire plus

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. All three of these cities stand out for their oligarchic power structures; while Genoa and Venice were . . . → En lire plus

Écorché represent the underlying musculature of the human figure, modelled in wax, carved in wood or cast in plaster or bronze for the purpose of anatomical instruction. This one-day conference takes the écorché as its subject, reconsidering the many ways in which it has been understood in relation to sculpture from the sixteenth century to the present day.

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 alter, . . . → En lire plus

This panel seeks to discuss the connection between religious and philosophical concepts and the theoretical discourse on architectural modernism from the period 1945-1970.

Following up on Michel de Certeau, the summer school looks at the multi-layered quality of space, and discusses its theoretical and practical implications. Analyzing the anachronistic and multi-directional relations among action, object and time, we aim to define concepts of space, and to understand their medium-specific significance in a media history of arts by means of looking at exhibition spaces, interiors, and international magazine culture.

La complexité du rapport entretenu par les artistes avec le régime fasciste de sa création à sa chute (soutien, art de propagande, retrait de la vie artistique, résistance, exil). Il s’agira d’étudier comment, à travers des parcours singuliers, les artistes se sont confrontés à la montée et à l’installation du fascisme.

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 close . . . → En lire plus

« Have Art, Will Travel: Mobility and Dislocation in the Early Modern World »

In recent years, a global turn in art history has dissembled the cartographic boundaries that formerly defined the field, opening the discipline to a more nuanced understanding of transregional exchange. As such, this methodological approach has moved us toward a new “geography of art,” to borrow Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann’s term, and emphasizes the theme of mobility in what has become an increasingly globalized discourse of early modernism.

Peinture_de_Jeaurat_de_Bertry_Nicolas_Henry_1728_-_1796_Un_tambour_et_une_epeeokLa guerre civile anglaise constitue aujourd’hui, d’un côté comme de l’autre de la Manche, un épisode bien oublié de l’histoire britannique. Il n’en a pourtant pas toujours été ainsi : au XIXe siècle, la Grande Rébellion était au contraire érigée en référence, tant par ceux qui tentaient de penser les soubresauts politiques qui secouaient alors l’Europe que par de nombreux écrivains et artistes, qui y trouvaient une inépuisable source d’inspiration. L’expression « Révolution anglaise », qui fait écho à « Révolution française », a été forgée par François Guizot pour désigner la période qui couvre les années 1640-1660.
