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...

Parution : Vladimir Ivanovici, Alice Isabella Sullivan (dir.), « Natural Light in Medieval Churches », Leyde, Brill, 2022

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...

During their object history, these images have been subjected to repeated changes by multiple actors. Their formation as artefacts is inextricably linked to the developments of the cult of the saints as a social phenomenon (Peter Brown). In sophisticated ways,...
