IV congreso internacional de mitocrítica

Mito y emociones

Junto a la lógica racional existe una lógica emocional, responsable última de muchas acciones que realizamos. La mitocrítica suele abordar los relatos míticos desde una perspectiva estructural, social, histórica, etc. Sin embargo, a menudo ignora el componente emocional. Parece como si la dimensión afectiva, particularmente activa en nuestra sociedad contemporánea, no fuera pertinente en los estudios de mitología. El congreso investigará el papel que desempeñan las emociones tanto en la estructuración de los relatos míticos como en los procesos de mitificación de personajes y acontecimientos históricos. El marco de trabajo son los mitos antiguos, medievales y modernos en la literatura y las artes contemporáneas (desde 1900).

Staging American Bodies

For this seventh International Symposium on Staging America, we invite scholars to explore the various ways in which American bodies have been staged and represented throughout history and through various media. From P.T. Barnum’s freak shows to modern-day tattoo conventions, from Carson McCullers’ and Flannery O’Connor’s grotesque characters to twenty-first century sideshows, bodies have always been a source of both attraction and repulsion. The fascination triggered by deformities – whether natural or self-inflicted – reveals as much about Americans’ conceptions of normality, hence of identity, as it does about the nature of the body itself.

Images of Animate Movement. Representations of Life

The fascinating paradox that we can see life in abstract images is the starting point of this conference. In a drawing of just a few lines, we can immediately recognize a human figure walking. A moving quadrangle can be seen as a crawling caterpillar. And some well-placed moving points are directly joined together in the form of a dancing couple. Again and again, we are astonished that we can actually see a creature moving in the image – even when the image is of such a reduced and simple nature or when it is not even a temporal moving image. How this impression of animate movement can be explained is what is explored at this conference: how can a simple line or form suddenly transform into something so specifically meaningful? How is this transition – this coming to life – to be described? How can it be constructed in the first place? The conference "Images of Animate Movement. Representations of Life" brings together different domains of knowledge in order to approach the phenomenon of animate movement and its images in its complexity in a new way.

Translatio imaginum

Translating images

According to which logics do images migrate, metamorphose, transform themselves? Is it possible to translate an image? How do images convey meaning through their incessant self-alteration? The conference "Translatio imaginum" aims at conceptualizing this oven overlooked aspect of images.
