Hard Bodies: Aesthetic, Materiality, and Mediality of Masculinity in American and European Art and Visual Culture, c. 1900 – today
Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.M., Jan 9–11, 2025 Deadline: Jul 15, 2024
Description: The hard body is omnipresent in contemporary culture. It evokes purity, whiteness, and resistance to cracking or contamination. It is the result of disciplined self-optimization (physical training, a strict diet, dietary supplements, and/or surgery) and part of the iconography of white supremacy. Contemporary artists only refer to the hard male body to destroy it – like Candice Lin in her installation A Hard White Body (2017).
So, why should we revisit the hard male body, with its undeniable hegemonic bias? Why not dismiss it, and look at the fragmented, performative, vulnerable, and transformative male body instead?

Colloque « Breaking Out, repenser les imaginaires carcéraux féminins »
24 et 25 juin 2024 -Université de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens
Une actualité éditoriale, curatoriale et scientifique tend à reconsidérer l’importance d’une réflexion quant aux imaginaires contemporain des espaces carcéraux – et des corps et individualités qui les habitent, en particulier féminins. Après une période de relative invisibilisation de ces questions ayant fait suite aux travaux largement diffusés de l’observatoire des prisons et de Michel Foucault en particulier dans les années soixante-dix, un ensemble de manifestations permet d’observer une transformation des représentations et des imaginaires associés aux conditions carcérales . . . → En lire plus

(P)Ostkolonialismus (Berlin, 24-25 Oct 24)
Berlin, Oct 24–25, 2024 Deadline: Jul 14, 2024
In the 19th century, Poland, the so called “Wild East”, already formed part of Germany’s colonial aspirations (Kopp 2012). Both Prussia and the German Empire, as well as the Nazi state, repeatedly attempted to fulfill their colonial settlement ambitions in Eastern Europe. This materialized in Bismarck’s Germanization policy, the occupied territory “Ober Ost” during the First World War, and Nazi Germany’s “Generalplan Ost”. The German mass crimes in the region during the Second World War were based on these continuities of anti-Slavic policies and convictions. Colonial and racist patterns of thought and behavior towards Eastern Europe continue to have an impact in many respects in the present day.

 When Mannerism emerged as a field of art historical study during the first part of the twentieth century, it was construed as a moment of crisis. To proponents of Geistesgeschichte such as Max Dvořák, Walter Friedlaender, and Erwin Panofsky or Marxists like Friedrich Antal and Arnold Hauser, Mannerism became a token of crises, either of a philosophical and existential nature or an outcome of tensions in the socio-economic base. Much criticism of these scholarly approaches has since emerged from different ideological and methodological perspectives, including that of John Shearman who during the 1960s argued for a “stylish style,” indifferent to societal change. The aim of this session is not to rehearse the historiography but to . . . → En lire plus

 International Congress: « Baroque Times: The table’s scenography ».
Call for Papers: When discussing the table or the act of being at the table, our immediate thoughts go to the act of eating, the company present, and the food to be shared. However, the table transcends its practical function to become a richly layered symbol, both materially and conceptually, embodying sociability in myriad ways throughout history.
During the modern era (17th-18th centuries), the table’s significance unfolded across diverse contexts and environments, from the opulent settings of palaces to the humble abodes of common citizens. Regardless of setting, the table served as a focal point, drawing together a spectrum of personalities and activities, thus assuming . . . → En lire plus

 Puritan Picture: Vanity, Morality, and Race in Seventeenth-Century Britain.
Yale Center of British Art, New Haven, CT, USA, Sep 27–28, 2024
The middle decades of the seventeenth century in Britain were characterized by radical political, religious, and social change. In this period, an unknown artist created a remarkable painting that spoke to fears and anxieties crystallizing around a perceived increase in moral laxity, gender transgression, and the insidious influence of foreigners. The painting depicts two women side by side, each wearing a conspicuous array of beauty patches. The woman on the left reprimands her companion with the words “I black with . . . → En lire plus

Résumé:
Goya, les femmes, la pornographie et la terreur
Si la pornographie signifie littéralement écrire sur la prostitution, peu d’œuvres de la fin du XVIIIe siècle relèvent aussi clairement de ce genre que les Caprices, un ensemble de 80 estampes radicalement subversives, dont une grande partie commente de manière satirique l’exploitation et le dénigrement des femmes. Cette conférence examinera les Caprices en relation avec les débats contemporains sur les droits des femmes (en . . . → En lire plus

Form, Style, Principles: Art Historical and Theoretical Reflections – A Conference of the Wölfflin Edition, University of Zurich
Scientific Organization: The team of the Wölfflin edition project, https://www.woelfflin.uzh.ch/de.html
Recent discussions in aesthetics and art history, literature, and visual studies have seen a renewed interest in questions of form and formalism. Whether in connection with algorithmic thinking, computer vision, and artificial intelligence, or with transcultural comparisons, revised narratives of modernism, re-conceptualisations of formlessness, and cognitive reflections on connoisseurship, form and formalism have regained currency in current discourses on a transhistorical and transdisciplinary level. It has become clear that an “archaeology of knowledge” about these crucial notions is indispensable in teasing out their critical potential and in productive application of what has also been termed “new formalism” or “post-formalism”.

 Plaster casts molded from artworks are ubiquitous in museum and university collections. In the art history department at the university of Vienna, for instance, a small vitrine surrounded by plants displays old plaster casts of medieval ivories. The installation functions simultaneously as an educational tool from the past, an archive of the department history, and a decorative ensemble. The German anthropologist Leo Frobenius had multiple plaster casts made of several terracottas he excavated in 1910 in Ife, Nigeria, marked them with his name and donated them to European ethnographic museums. He thus transformed masterpieces of an ancient West African civilization into . . . → En lire plus

The Expert’s Eye: Method, Limitations, and the Practice of Art History.
The work of the art historian revolves around the art object, and the need to tailor one’s methodology to that object gives the discipline its variety and richness. Yet paradoxically, to stress that art works are the centre of art history feels almost transgressive at a time when basic questions of identification and dating are increasingly deemphasized in training new generations of scholars and curators. Perhaps as a result, recent years have seen a proliferation of news about masterpieces that have gone unnoticed until some expert (typically from the art market rather than the university or the museum) has recognized the hand of a leading artist. Among Old Master paintings, it is common knowledge that Caravaggio final . . . → En lire plus
