  Contemporary art as mediation of ecological crisis

  6th STS (Science and Technology Studies) Italia Conference

  In this session of the 6^th STS Italia Conference on Sociotechnical Environments, we will consider how contemporary art addresses new questions to environmental issues; how it questions our relation with nature and technique; and how artistic creation may indicate new kinds of answers to contemporary ecological issues. This call is open to various disciplinary fields: contribution proposals could aim to describe kinds of knowledge that contemporary art contribute to produce in the field of ecology, as to trace a history of the dialogue between environmental issues and artistic creations, and, more generally, on case studies questioning the notions of art, technique and environmental issues.

  Il modello architettonico

  Funzione ed evoluzione di uno strumento di concezione e di realizzazione

  Nonostante le mostre dei più rappresentativi modelli architettonici svolte nell’ultimo decennio del Novecento a Palazzo Grassi (1994) e nella Palazzina di Stupinigi (1999) ancora oggi questo soggetto non è pienamente esplorato dalla storia dell’arte. Le loro funzioni vanno dallo strumento durante la progettazione, alla simulazione tridimensionale destinata a convincere un committente fino a riferimenti normativi per le maestranze impiegate nel cantiere. Il seminario si propone di confrontare l’impiego di modelli durante diversi periodi, in diversi paesi europei e di aprire un dibattito su future ricerche che riguardano un censimento delle testimonianze disperse, delle norme per il loro restauro e la creazione di un museo virtuale.

  Typical Venice?

  Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries

  What are “Venetian” commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts. This conference focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods.

  Heraldry and papacy - from the Middle Ages to the Modern period

  Moyen Âge - Temps Modernes

  Au Moyen Âge comme à l’époque moderne, la papauté dispose d’imaginaires variés pour alimenter sa communication institutionnelle. On pense d’abord à l’Écriture Sainte ou à l’hagiographie, à l’histoire, antique ou récente, à la mythologie, mais on aurait tort de négliger l’héraldique. Un nouveau pape apporte avec lui les images de son blason qui paraissent sur les monnaies, sur les sceaux, sur les médailles, sur la vaisselle et les ornements liturgiques, sur les reliures et les illustrations des livres, dans les armoriaux et dans la littérature de célébration ou de satire (pasquinades), sur les façades et les décors peints ou sculptés des bâtiments (succès dans la grotesque), dans les diverses fêtes et cérémonies, sur les monuments et les tombeaux, sans oublier les jardins, les fontaines, etc... Les cardinaux augmentent souvent leurs armoiries de celles du pape qui les a créés. Ce n’est pas un hasard si la Rome pontificale peut être considérée comme l’une des capitales les plus héraldiques du monde.
