Suggested topics on the emotional reactions of individuals/communities, from any geographic area or time period (between 300-1500), may include, but are not limited to:...

Colloque : « ‘Heureux ceux qui croient sans avoir vu’. Pouvoirs et limites, les paradoxes du sensible dans l’appréhension chrétienne du divin entre les XVe et XVIIe siècles », Paris, INHA, 14-15 juin 2023

Sentir Dieu ; percevoir l’Éternel par les sens. Un paradoxe qui fut le lieu d’un intense investissement aussi bien intellectuel que matériel. Parce que Dieu se rendit un jour présent en se faisant chair avant de mourir sur la croix pour ensuite ressusciter et enfin se retirer du monde, l’humain n’aura de cesse de le chercher. L’alternance entre expérience et témoignage, mise en doute et preuve, structure le paradoxe de l’économie chrétienne dont l’épisode de...

Appel à contribution : « On the Rhetoric of Images and Power », Venise, Ca’ Foscari Zattere, 4-6 octobre 2023, date limite le 14 mai 2023

Art is a powerful and non-neutral tool. Its forms and expressions can influence, entertain, educate, and manipulate the realm of the real. Throughout history, the artists’ creative power was able to give form, substance, and meaning to otherwise inert matter, making them a demiurge. Images, however, once they have taken on their final form and are put into circulation, undertake a life of their own. Images can direct the spectator’s interest toward their own content. The more...

Themes covered include the interaction between patrons, advisors, architects, and artists, as well as local negotiations among competing traditions that yielded new visual and spatial constructs for which natural light...
