History and drama: The pan-European tradition

DramaNet Conference V

Rereading Aristotle, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, and Demetrius through the lens of contemporary narratology provides scholarship with a potentially fruitful perspective for investigating the relationship between historical narrative and other forms of literature. In particular, the reflections of Dionysius and Demetrius on narrative style at the micro-level, as well as those of Aristotle on history and tragedy as ways of representing knowledge at the macro-level, might enable historians and comparatists to focus on the question of how pan-European historical narratives are related to the drama of their times.

Art History for Artists: Interactions Between Scholarly Discourse and Artistic Practice in the 19th Century

The development of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18^th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19^th century.

Intersections of Art, Science, and Technology in Soviet Film and Culture

By maintaining the tension between artists’ imaginative approaches to technology in the Soviet Union (Meyerhold’s Biomechanics), film directors’ use of science such as physiology (Eisenstein’s Expressive Movement), and scientists’ own theorization of art history (Lev Vygotsky’s The Psychology of Art), this workshop aims at unpacking the historical and political forces behind Soviet film theory, film practice, and art history in relation to science and technology. While examining the juncture between art, science, and technology in post-Revolutionary Russia, with a focus on the avant-garde period until the death of Joseph Stalin, cinema is thus considered as a device beyond its medium of film (Francois Albera, Maria Tortajada: Cinema Beyond Film) and the medium-specificity of the arts is called into question.

Frankfurt

Counts and abbeys in the Frankish world

West Francia, east Francia and Burgundy (late 9th-late 11th centuries)

Cette journée d'études proposera un état de la recherche des jeunes chercheurs travaillant sur les espaces francophones et germanophones autour de la question des relations entre comtes et abbayes dans le monde franc durant la période post-carolingienne (de la fin du IX^e siècle à la fin du XI^e siècle). Durant cette période de changements politiques, la manière dont les comtes ont créé et/ou dominé des abbayes (abbatiat laïque, avouerie) et dont les moines ont représenté ces comtes (rouleaux des morts, livres de mémoire, documentation diplomatique) ont fortement évolué, suscitant des conflits, très souvent soulignés par l'historiographie, mais aussi des collaborations importantes, mises en valeur par la recherche récente. Les approches historiographiques diffèrent par ailleurs des deux côtés du Rhin et cette journée attachera une importance particulière à la comparaison des travaux francophones et germanophones.

Form und Leben. Morphologie als Paradigma zwischen Philosophie und Wissenschaft

Tagung des DFG-Netzwerks “Morphologie als Paradigma” in Zusammenarbeit mit dem ZfL Berlin

Die Tagung eröffnet die Forschung zum Begriff der Morphologie im Rahmen des DFG-Netzwerks »Morphologie als Paradigma«. Im Horizont der namensgebenden These werden hier zur ersten Orientierung kultur- und naturphilosophische sowie poetologische und lebenswissenschaftliche Verwendungen von morphologischen Modellen ins Gespräch gebracht. Dabei soll zum einen der Modellfunktion der Morphologie bei Ernst Cassirer, zum anderen der Frage nach Parallelen bis in die moderne funktionsbiologische Disziplin Raum gegeben werden. Letztlich steht damit in kritischer Auseinandersetzung auch zur Debatte, ob hier möglicherweise ein Ansatzpunkt zur Redefinition der Aufgaben und Methoden der Kulturphilosophie liegt.

Undiszipliniertes Soziologisieren?

Eine Erkundung zu Partizipationsmöglichkeiten und epistemischen Praktiken außerhalb des Hochschulstandards

Was kann eigentlich als “soziologisch” bezeichnet werden? Mit dieser Frage wollen wir versuchen eine Vielzahl an Problemen zu adressieren, die sich aus den Erfahrungen ergeben, bei der die Soziologie als wissenschaliche Disziplin Grenzen des Soziologisierens vorgibt. Dabei verstehen wir unter “soziologisieren” gerade nicht nur die Art und Weise, wie soziologisches Wissen in Form von empirischen Daten oder abstrakten Theorien generiert, sondern auch, wie diese angewandt, organisiert, darüber diskutiert und darauf Bezug genommen wird.

Art history for artists: interactions between scholarly discourse and artistic practice in the 19th century

The conference seeks to examine the shaping of art history as a discipline during the 19^th century in relation to artistic training and exchanges between artists and scholars. The development of art history has been associated with an array of socio-political and economic factors such as the formation of a bourgeois public, the politics of national identity and state legitimacy or the needs of an expanding art market. This conference aspires to explore yet another, less studied dimension: the extent to which the historical study of art was also rooted in an intention to inform contemporary artistic production.
