  Caging the sky: artistic, historical and anthropological approaches to avaries

  Ancrées dans le temps long de l’histoire des techniques, de la construction architecturale, de la domestication et de l’acclimatation par l’homme des espèces animales, les volières constituent un objet de recherche interdisciplinaire qui offre de multiples points d’entrée pour étudier les liens, présents ou passés, qui unissent les sociétés à leur environnement, pour explorer la place des oiseaux dans les imaginaires collectifs, mais aussi apprécier l’originalité des œuvres ou des constructions dont l’une des fonctions est de représenter, de signifier ou de rendre effectivement présente la vie animale.

  Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries

  Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to  represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

  Fake news. Counterfeit art and information: the manipulation of reality between artistic production and historical-critical investigation

  VII giornata di studi dottorali del Rome Art History Network (RAHN)

  Il tema delle fake news è di grande attualità e rilevanza per i mezzi e i fini con cui queste vengono messe in circolazione: esse hanno il potere di alterare la realtà e diffondere notizie prive di fondamento. Invero, la manipolazione delle notizie e delle immagini è sempre stata presente nelle discipline umanistiche, mossa da intenti encomiastici, sociologici o politici. La giornata dottorale del 2019 vuole indagare la modalità in cui l’alterazione del messaggio è stata assunta come verità nella storia dell’arte. Si intende analizzare l’iter del processo artistico e la conseguente creazione delle fake news: così, dall’idea della committenza si passa all’elaborazione dell’artista fino ad arrivare alla ricezione del pubblico. L’oggetto artistico diventa, dunque, veicolo di una realtà alterata. Spaziando dall’antichità al contemporaneo, il convegno vuole mettere in risalto le diverse metodologie impiegate dai dottorandi per delegittimare le fake news nella storia dell’arte.

  The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts

  Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions

   

  In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.
