Parution : Katherine Dauge-Roth et Craig Koslofsky (dir.), “Stigma. Marking Skin in the Early Modern World”, University Park, Penn State University Press, 2023

The early modern period opened a new era in the history of dermal marking. Intensifying global travel and trade, especially the slave trade, bought diverse skin-marking practices into contact as never before. Stigma examines the distinctive skin cultures and marking methods of Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas as they began to circulate and reshape one another in the early modern world. By highlighting the interwoven histories of tattooing, branding, stigmata, baptismal and beauty marks, wounds and scars, this volume...

Parution : « Indecent Bodies in Early Modern Visual Culture », Amsterdam University Press, 2022

The life-like depiction of the body became a central interest and defining characteristic of the European Early Modern period that coincided with the establishment of which images of the body were to be considered ‘decent’ and representable, and which disapproved, censored, or prohibited. Simultaneously, artists and the public became increasingly interested in the depiction of specific body parts or excretions. This book explores the concept of indecency and its relation to the human body across...

Appel à communication : “Le corps du sensible. Lectures et écritures phénoménologiques du littéraire XVIe-XVIIIe s.”, Lyon et Sherbrooke, date limite le 31 octobre et le 15 décembre2022

Le corps du sensible.  Lectures et écritures phénoménologiques du littéraire (16e-18e siècles) Qu’avons-nous à gagner à lire ou relire le littéraire de la période moderne avec l’éclairage de la phénoménologie ? Quel bénéfice intellectuel, quel supplément de compréhension critique retirer d’une telle approche ? Solliciter la pensée phénoménologique peut sembler une démarche inutilement anachronique : les textes sont d’abord de leur temps et du passé dont ils héritent, qu’ils reformulent et actualisent. Pourtant, appréhendée comme un geste interprétatif...

Parution : Michael W. Kwakkelstein, « Anatomical Studies », Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

The central theme of Rubens’s paintings is the human figure, often represented nude or partially clothed and involved in dramatic action. As a history painter, Rubens’s acclaimed skill in rendering the human body whether male or female, lean or fleshy, mature in years or young, animated or lifeless, vigorous or diseased, heroic or cowering, sensuous or decrepit, idealised or blemished and imperfect enabled him to vie with the greatest artists ever known, while creating increasing...

Séminaire : « Transformative Bodies in the Premodern World », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 27 juin 2022, 13h-17h

Transformative Bodies in the Premodern World: Experiences and Materials The theme of this workshop is the transformation of bodies through, with or in relation to experiences and materials. Eight speakers will be exploring the ways, in which past peoples engaged with objects and materials from a variety of disciplinary and geographical backgrounds. The presentations will engage with practices (e.g. ritual, artistic, medicinal) that affected an actual or perceived change (in/of the body of the practitioner...

Exposition : « Flesh and Bones. The Art of Anatomy », Los Angeles, The Getty Center, 22 février-10 juillet 2022

Focused at the intersection of science and art, this exhibition explores themes of art and anatomy from the 16th century to today. From spectacular life-size illustrations to delicate paper flaps that lift to reveal the body’s interior, the structure of the body is represented through a range of media. Artists not only helped create these images but were part of the market for them, as anatomy was a basic component of artistic training for centuries....

Conférence en ligne : Christian Kleinbub, Art and Internal Anatomy – Michelangelo, Bronzino, and Mannerist Bodies, 8 février 2022, 5:00-6:30 pm (CET)

Christian Kleinbub – Ohio State University Building on the speaker’s research on Michelangelo’s investment in internal anatomical matters, this talk proposes that other artists of his time, especially Bronzino, paid particular attention to the meaning of the internal organs like the liver, heart, and brain, referencing those organs to explain the internal states of represented bodies. Although such references were only occasionally systematic, this talk contends that they contributed to something like an elite visual language of...

Appel à contribution : GRIM/Imago, « Les états du corps en images », Paris, INHA, 12 mai 2022, date limite le 21 janvier 2022

Depuis les deux dernières décennies, les historiographies médiévistes anglo-américaine et  européenne se sont emparées de la question de la matérialité et de la perception sensible des œuvres. Au-delà de la matérialité et de la sensorialité, une question mérite d’être explorée, dont l’horizon d’anthropologie religieuse est fondamental pour la compréhension des images et des comportements : celui des états du corps, rendus visibles par des ornements, des traits anatomiques des mouvements spécifiques, et par des situations singulières...

Appel à contribution : « Humankind and Fat. Attraction, Repulsion, Health and Politics », Timişoara, Centre for Applied Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies / C-CLASC at the Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, 27-29 octobre 2021, date limite le 30 août 2021

Fat that our bodies accumulate, fat we consume, our representations of fatty foods and bodies… The relationships between humankind and fat are a fascinating topic for social and medical scientists. They are highly variable according to the places and the times and, often, much more nuanced and complex that the dominant discourse suggests. Not very so long ago, European peasants valued fat. Today, their urbanised descendants have panic attacks if they have to move a...

Conférence en ligne : Crip Authority and the Art of Consolation in Renaissance Representations of Disability, Londres, The Warburg Institute, le 25 février 2021 à 18h

Elizabeth B. Bearden (UW-Madison): ‘Crip Authority and the Art of Consolation in Renaissance Representations of Disability’ Having explored how discourses of monstrosity influence representations of disability in the global Renaissance in her 2019 monograph, Bearden’s talk will reflect on this project and will present material from her next book, which examines how canonical Renaissance writers and artists represent themselves and their work by drawing on the ancient tradition of consolation, or texts that offer comfort...
