Journées d’étude : « Sacred Drama. Art, Devotion and Performance », en ligne et sur place, St Andrews, University of St Andrews, 11-12 mai 2023

This interdisciplinary conference will bring together scholars from nine countries, from fields including history, art history, architectural history, theatre history, music, theology/religious studies, and literature, with two main objectives: The first is to consider an inclusive definition of ‘sacred drama’ that refers not only to religious theatre, as traditionally understood, but includes rituals and various forms of devotional practice, as well as engagement with sacred images, objects and spaces. What are the elements of this...

Parution : C. Strine, M. Mclnroy, A. Torrance, « Image as Theology. The Power of Art in Shaping Christian Thought, Devotion, and Imagination », Turnhout, Brepols, 2022

Our lives are saturated with images. They exert an unparalleled power in contemporary culture. However, the power of images is in fact nothing new. Although texts are often the most important historical sources for academics, the image played an enormous role for those who actually lived in these past societies. Images communicated all manner of concepts and messages to a much wider audience than theological texts. Throughout history, images frequently depicted God, human beings, and...

Parution : Bianca Kühnel, « Jerusalem Icons in the European Space », Louvain, Peeters Publishers, 2022

Based on scripture, exegesis, and an ongoing dialogue with the Jewish and Islamic presence, Jerusalem maintains a central position in Christian spirituality. After several studies that mapped visual references to the holy city in various other representational media, Bianca Kühnel dedicates the present volume to the monumental presence of Jerusalem in European Latin Christianity. The works discussed in this book have a spatial dimension, defined by mimetic architecture and mimetic topography brought to life by...

Séminaire : David Young Kim, « The Desert and the Lagoon », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 31 mai 2022, 18h-20h

This seminar will examine formats that develop art historical arguments outside the conventional methods of printed publications and conference talk. David Young Kim will screen his new film “The Desert and the Lagoon” (co-directed with Amelia Saul) which offers a close reading of Giovanni Bellini’s Saint Francis in the Desert. This experimental film essay uncovers the painting’s background and setting, putting them in relation with the abandoned and deserted islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Shooting locations include...

Séminaire : David Ekserdjian, « God and the Painters : The Altarpiece in the Italian Renaissance », Londres, The Courtauld Institute, 10 décembre 2021, 18h30-20h

“My book The Italian Renaissance Altarpiece: Between Icon and Narrative, came out in June 2021. It is never easy to judge one’s own work, but what I think I have tried to do is to provide a species of taxonomy for Italian renaissance altarpieces and at the same time to explore who – between the patrons, the ecclesiastical authorities, and the artists – actually calls the shots.” David Ekserdjian is Professor of History of Art and Film at...

Quid est secretum? Visual Representation of Secrets in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1700 is the companion volume to Intersections 65.1, Quid est sacramentum? Visual Representation of Sacred Mysteries in Early Modern Europe, 1400-1700. Whereas the latter volume focused on sacramental mysteries, the current one examines a wider range of secret subjects. The book examines how secret knowledge was represented visually in ways that both revealed and concealed the true nature of that knowledge, giving and yet impeding access...

Parution : Chiara Franceschini (dir.), « Sacred Images and Normativity: Contested Forms in Early Modern Art », Turnhout, Brepols, 2020

Early modern objects, images and artworks were often nodes of discussion and contestation. If images were sometimes contested by external and often competing agencies (religious and secular authorities, image theoreticians, various Inquisitions, etc.), artists and objects were just as likely to impose their own rules and standards through the continuation and/or contestation of established visual traditions, styles, iconographies, materialities, reproductions, and reframings. While issues such as censorship and iconoclasm have already received much attention from...

Appel à contribution : « Food: Sacrificial, Spiritual, and Secular », Taipei, National Taiwan University, 23-24 octobre 2020, date limite le 6 janvier 2020

Food, whether secular or spiritual, physical or metaphysical, human or nonhuman, has been an important issue throughout the history of this planet. Human history is a long story of appetitive contest with nature and the environment, while consumption is an empowering practice that involves struggle and sacrifice. The matter of food may illuminate or complicate histories of labor, leisure, science, production, ethical considerations, religious discourse and practices, and environmental concerns. Eating and drinking are not...
