A type of artist established himself in western culture once Marsilio Ficino took up Chapter XXX, I of the pseudo-Aristotelian Problems, where the creative figure is already described as manic and melancholic by his very nature. Melancholy hence became the condition of genius, the dark shadow to the clarity of artistic production. The diagnosis of ‘melancholy’ was removed from clinical vocabulary in the course of the twentieth century and replaced by a fundamentally different conceptual apparatus. No longer identified as the defining and formative characteristic of genius, it was instead reluctantly conceded to be a brief clouding of the mind described as a case ‘of’ melancholy. Yet the psychopathological concept . . . → En lire plus
CFP Sixteenth-Century Society Conference, Bruges (August 18-20, 2016) Panel: Sacred Spaces, Secular Acts: Non-Religious Functions of Italian Church Buildings The Italian church interior in the early modern period witnessed far more than mere religious rite. As a venue for courtship rituals, dances, theatrical performances, political meetings, legal business and even sexual encounters, churches were versatile, multi-functional spaces which could change their purpose and ambience in response to distinct activities. Conservative ecclesiastics such as Archbishop Antoninus of Florence, San Bernardino da Siena and Fra Savonarola condemned such acts, indirectly confirming their widespread practice. Further evidence is provided by notarial documentation, which . . . → En lire plus

Un vif faisceau lumineux, une offre alléchante, une odeur peu appétissante, une personnalité charismatique, un frisson, des couleurs fluorescentes, un endroit idyllique – la stimulation désigne aussi bien la sollicitation de nos sens que l’attraction qu’un objet ou une personne peut exercer sur nous. Les deux dimensions de sa définition forgent quasiment l’essentiel de la production et de la réception de l’art et de la culture. Ainsi la peinture abstraite se fonde sur la dominance des couleurs et des formes, que notre sens visuel perçoit immédiatement, déclenchant, de ce fait, une émotion. L’industrie de la publicité utilise ce même pouvoir de séduction des stimuli visuels pour susciter des besoins spécifiques chez les consommateurs. L’omniprésence de stimulations . . . → En lire plus

Deadline: Nov 22, 2015 Placing Prints: New Developments in the Study of Print, 1400-1800 Traditionally, the history of printmaking has fallen in the space between art history and the history of the book. Often ‘reproductive’ and multiple in nature, prints have long been marginalized in art historical scholarship in favour of the traditional ‘high’ arts. The inherent complexities in the manufacture and sale of print, often involving multi-faceted networks of specialist craftsmen, artists, publishers and sellers, has also led to much confusion. Not knowing how prints are made has affected our ability to understand the medium and its aesthetic . . . → En lire plus

Deadline: Nov 30, 2015 The term ‘post-photography’ seems to imply rejection of what photography is or used to mean. Digital technology, by offering potentially limitless scope for manipulating images, questions the very possibility for the world to be truthfully represented by mechanical means. The post-photographic turn profoundly affected the study of photography, its history and theory. It has proven that the equation between the camera and the eye is mainly a metaphorical one and that the discussion of photography needs not be limited to the image itself, thereby opening the field of research beyond the study of photography as art. Despite this, much of the photographic practice . . . → En lire plus
«Western : Rien de plus exotique pour un Européen que ce terme qui évoque les paysages de l’Ouest américain, parcourus de ‘cow-boys’ et d’Indiens. » Jacques Portes, Une fascination réticente: Les États-Unis dans l’opinion française, 1870-1914 (Nancy : Presses Universitaires de Nancy, 1990), 85. Annonçant la venue du spectacle de Buffalo Bill à Paris en 1889, The New York Times précisait qu’il serait « adapté pour s’accorder aux idées françaises ». Qu’étaient donc ces « idées françaises » et quelles représentations et projections de l’Ouest américain contenaient-elles ?
