INNOVATION AND ITS CONTESTANTS

5th Annual Emerging Scholars Conference McGill University Department of Art History and Communications Studies

Keynote Speaker: Keith Moxey, Barbara Novak Professor of Art History and Department Chair at Barnard College (Columbia University)

Deadline for Submissions: 24 January 2014

The concept of innovation buttresses a paradigmatically modern Western belief in the possibility of infinite economic growth and technological progress. It is in fact a buzzword with remarkable contemporary currency, one that is instrumentalized as a constant search for new technologies, means of production, market adaptations, scientific discoveries and social changes. As a fundamental . . . → En lire plus

Images qui font signe. Modes et pratiques de représentation diagrammatique dans les informational images

Photographies au microscope, diagrammes, illustrations techniques, cartes, graphiques.

Objets visuels différents mais réunis sous la catégorie d’informational images (Elkins), c’est-à-dire images capables de véhiculer des informations et de représenter concepts et relations.

Les articles pourront développer le thème de la représentation diagrammatique à partir de différents objets visuels (images scientifiques, artistiques, visualisations de données et d’informations, images . . . → En lire plus

Call For Papers

Kinetic Art: Then and Now Session at the Midwest Art History Society Annual Conference, St. Louis, MO

In the mid-1950s and 1960s kinetic art became an international phenomenon. With no single leader, manifesto, or aesthetic the term covers a wide range of works involving actual and optical movement, as well as works that demand collaborative engagement in the form of audience interaction. Tracing a lineage through early twentieth century avantgarde artists, such as Marcel Duchamp, Naum Gabo, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, the revival of interest in kinetic practices in the postwar period . . . → En lire plus

Collect, Exchange, Display: Artistic Practice and the Medical Museum (London, 6 June 2014)

For hundreds of years, medical collections have been sites of medical and artistic exchange. Not only were many of their contents created by artists and physicians, but the collections were also often compiled by doctors, who were themselves artistes manqués. Although medical museums have recently received attention in museological and historical studies, they remain relatively ignored within art historical scholarship.

This one-day conference will look at the anatomical, pathological or medical museum from the perspectives of . . . → En lire plus

Columbia’s Italian Academy invites applications for projects in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.

In the fields of science, technology and engineering, applications that relate to Columbia’s strengths will be welcomed.

Applications dealing with the scientific and technological aspects of culture and memory are also encouraged. Special consideration will be given to proposals in the neurosciences relevant to the Academy’s ongoing project in Art and Neuroscience.

Two Alexander Bodini Research Fellowships are also offered: in Developmental and Adolescent Psychiatry, and in Culture and Religion.

Appel à communication : « L’erreur, l’échec, la faute » dans le monde médiéval

Posté par ckikuchi, le 10 octobre 2013;

Date limite : 1er novembre 2013
Date et lieu des rencontres : 8 novembre 2013 et 13 décembre 2013, 18-20hParis, à la Maison de la Recherche de la Sorbonne (28 rue Serpente, 75005), en salle D223.

Appel à communication sur « L’échec, l’erreur, la faute » pour les séances de Questes des 8 novembre et 13 décembre 2013

« Errare humanum est, sed persevare diabolicum » écrit saint Augustin. À sa suite, les hommes du Moyen Âge pensent l’erreur, l’échec, la faute. Travailler sur ces notions, c’est se plonger au cœur du monde médiéval ; c’est l’aborder par le revers de la médaille, en s’intéressant non pas à ses succès mais à leurs contraires, sans pour autant retomber dans le mythe d’un Moyen Âge obscurantiste. Trois niveaux de lecture se dégagent :

– Une lecture morale et théologique, d’abord, qui insiste, dans l’ombre de la Chute, sur la nature faillible de l’homme, sa rétribution et sa rédemption. Une lecture . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : « Near View, Distant View : Art and the Experience of Nature in Italy from the Fourteenth to the Sixteenth Century » (Frankfurt am Main, 10–12 juillet 2014)

Posté par Pascale Dubus, le 11 juillet 2013;

Date limite : 30 septembre 2013
Date et lieu du colloque : 10–12 juillet 2014, Allemagne, Frankfurt am Main.

In his Ricordi published in 1554, Fra Sabba da Castiglione describes a scene in which art and nature are in opposition to and – to the same degree – close reciprocal relationship to one another. Suffering from the crippling heat of a July day, the humanist seeks refuge in the shade of a tree in his overgrown garden in Faenza, and there experiences a special instance of art enjoyment : in natural surroundings, he immerses himself in the contemplation of his recently acquired Dürer engraving and admires its figures, animals, landscapes and vistas.

Sabba da Castiglione’s account sparks fundamental questions about the relationship . . . → En lire plus

Universal – Specific. From analysis to intervention?

« No one sees the Earth globally. » Or: « A crowded place of risk and unwanted consequences. » (B. Latour, 2011)

The universal – specific opposition has been central to epistemological debates and methodological shifts within the history of most (if not all) scientific disciplines. An equivalent dualism confronts artists and architects addressing a wide audience and/or planning and realizing transformative or critical interventions that involve both local factors and a range of far-reaching political, social or economic constellations and processes.

The term « synaesthesia », from the Greek « aisthesis » (« Sensation », « sensory impression ») and « syn » (« together ») means the experience of two or more sensory impressions at the same time.

http://descomp.scripts.mit.edu/futurespast/ In 1960, the readers of the IRE Transactions on Human Factors in Electronics encountered J.C.R. Licklider speculating on the future. “The hope,” he contended, “is that, in not too many years, human brains and computer machines would be coupled together very tightly and the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought.” He called this new cooperative interaction between the human and the computer a “symbiosis.” At that moment, computers were conceptualized either as compliant instruments extending the capabilities of the human subject, or intelligent replacements, automating operations previously performed . . . → En lire plus

Working Wonder

Venue: Newcastle University, UK Date: 14th June 2013 E-mail: wonder.conference@ncl.ac.uk Website: http://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/wonderconference/ Wonder has always been understood as a place outside of the familiar cultural framework. It has been linked to the fascination of change, the coincidence of oppositions, often placed at the threshold between aesthetic and scientific realms. The wondrous object becomes therefore not only the carrier of the inexplicable, but moreover exposes our relationship to the alien, enigmatic and perplexing. Recent scholarship has been focused on a variety of topics ranging from shifting aspects of curiosity and wonder (Benedict 2001), . . . → En lire plus
