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. Foregoing such evaluations, this interdisciplinary conference sets out to develop an alternative account. . . . → En lire plus

Appel à communication : Littératures et arts du vide (Cerisy-la-Salle, été 2017)

BEUYS-INSTALLATION-02_450_04Ce colloque se propose d’explorer les diverses représentations du vide dans la création littéraire (fiction, poésie, théâtre, essai) et artistique (peinture, sculpture, dessin, photographie, installation) du XXe et du XXIe siècle. Le vide reflète avant tout un parti-pris esthétique de dépouillement et d’épure des formes. Mais Il débouche aussi dans de nombreux cas sur l’expression d’une crise, sinon d’une fin de l’art dans la culture occidentale, comme l’a prouvé le mouvement Fluxus dans les années soixante et soixante-dix. Au-delà de ces principes formels et de ces tensions philosophiques, . . . → En lire plus

CALL FOR PAPERS: ”Life and/as Art in the Eighteenth Century”, Noémie Etienne (Getty Research Institute) and Meredith Martin (New York University), American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Annual Conference, Pittsburgh, March 31-April 3.

automateDuring the eighteenth century, a whole series of artistic productions aimed to simulate motion and life, at the same time that individuals became ever more preoccupied with performing or embodying static works of art. This session aims to explore such hybrid creations and the boundaries they challenged between animate and inanimate form, art and technology, the living and the dead. Papers may focus on specific objects, such as the automata created by the clockmaker Pierre-Jacques Droz that imitated . . . → En lire plus

Journée d’étude : « Object Lessons: Sculpture and the Production of Knowledge » (Leeds, 3 Octobre 2015)

Programmed alongside the exhibition ‘Object Lessons’ in Gallery 4, this conference considers the relationship between sculpture and the production of knowledge in the nineteenth century. In the early nineteenth-century publications such as Elizabeth Mayo’s ‘Lessons on Objects’ (1830) (held in our Research Library collection) gained traction in Britain, North America and India as guides to an approach to education developed by Swiss educationalist Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827) that advocated exposure to concrete objects to develop abstract thought.

Prior to the eighteenth century, ‘art’ and ‘science’ were often considered complementary, rather than opposite, expressions of human culture. They enlightened one another: through comparable curiosity, knowledge and observation of the world, but also in their resulting products: paintings, prints, books, maps, anatomical preservations, life casts, and many others.

Editors: Dr Sam Bowker, Charles Sturt University & Professor Craig Bremner, Charles Sturt University

Ever since Vasari published the ‘Vite’ in 1550, art history has been skewed in favour of named individuals whose biographies can be unveiled or re-evaluated. However, the majority of contributions to visual culture do not fit this criterion. If it is impossible to determine an artists’ name, some of the most significant cultural and commercial imperatives for new scholarship are lost. Due to related methodological prejudices, analyses primarily drawn from material culture have been reserved for ‘inferior’ contributions to visual culture. The presentation of . . . → En lire plus
