  Image, Cinema & Politics: the Avant-Garde Dilemma in the Interwar Period (1918-1936)

  In this publication we would like to explore the relation between the post-1918 crisis of the liberal system and the use of art and image as political media including its nationalist, gender and class discourses since they reflect the political and economic transformations of the post-war years. Art and cinema allow us to observe processes such as accelerated urbanisation, electrification and the automobile revolution, the incorporation of women into the waged- labour market or class struggles, all of which fed the insecurity and anxiety of industrialised societies which sought shelter in growing protectionism and corporatism.

  Picturing Tomorrow: Future-directed Imagination in American Art

  How do we understand the concept of the future? Is it inevitable and shaped by a long sequence of events and interconnected chance occurrences? Or do we conceive of it as something that is determined by our actions and decisions in the present day? Is it a pure potentiality, a promise of a radically different world and yet unimaginable existence? Or is it something that is forever unreachable, something that defines our experience of the present as a perpetual state of deferral and transience?

  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.

  Art of Medieval Sculpture, 1100-1550

  L’Université de Pennsylvanie (Philadelphie), l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (Paris) et le Philadelphia Museum of Art mettent en place un cycle de journées d’étude et de colloques organisé durant l’année 2012 afin de faire progresser les études sur la sculpture médiévale et de leur donner une meilleure visibilité scientifique et publique. Ces trois institutions se proposent de constituer un groupe de travail flexible mais cohérent constitué d’universitaires, de conservateurs et de doctorants. Ce groupe est appelé à se rassembler à plusieurs reprises dans l’année afin de faire progresser la recherche touchant à la sculpture médiévale. La succession de ces réunions est organisée selon une séquence, conçue volontairement de manière croissante en termes d’intensité et complexité, depuis l’analyse des considérations basées largement sur les objets eux-mêmes (à Paris), pour s’élargir aux questions relatives au statut de la sculpture en tant qu’objet (à Kalamazoo) puis, finalement, pour traiter plus largement encore des interprétations sur le rôle de l’œuvre sculpturale dans le champ des études de la culture visuelle (au colloque de Philadelphie).
