  Colloque - Europe

  Vision et spéculation dans l'art de Pieter Bruegel

  Ce colloque propose d’envisager la représentation de la nature et des activités humaines chez Bruegel dans le contexte de cette pensée spéculative. À la fois miroir du monde et miroir tendu au spectateur, les images spéculatives de Bruegel sont conçues comme des exercices de discernement. Il s’agira dès lors d’interroger deux des caractéristiques fondamentales des oeuvres de Bruegel.

  Iconotrop

  Symbolic and Material Changes to Cult Images in the Classical and Medieval Ages

  Iconotropy is a Greek word which literally means “image turning.” William J. Hamblin (2007) defines the term as “the accidental or deliberate misinterpretation by one culture of the images or myths of another one, especially so as to bring them into accord with those of the first culture.” In fact, iconotropy is commonly the result of the way cultures have dealt with images from foreign or earlier cultures. Numerous accounts from classical antiquity and the Middle Ages detail how cult images were involved in such processes of misinterpretation, both symbolically and materially. Pagan cultures for example deliberately misrepresented ancient ritual icons and incorporated new meanings to the mythical substratum, thus modifying the myth’s original meanings and bringing about a profound change to existing religious paradigms. Iconotropy is a fundamental concept in religious history, particularly of contexts in which religious changes, often turbulent, took place. At the same time, the iconotropic process of appropriating cult images brought with it changes in the materiality of those images...The conference hopes to generate new research questions and creative synergies by initiating conversation and the exchange of ideas among scholars in the arts and humanities.
