Excess? Images of body, health, morality and emotions across the media

A central goal of the workshop is to open up an international exchange and to connect perspectives from the history of science, the history of emotions, the history of the body and media history in order to shed new light on a history of health as a cultural history. The event is part of the research project “The Healthy Self as Body Capital: Individuals, Market-Based Societies, and Body Politics in Visual Twentieth Century Europe” funded by the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Advanced Grant agreement No 694817) led by Christian Bonah (University of Strasbourg) and Anja Laukötter (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin).

Dynamis of the image: the archaeology of possibles

The project Dynamis of the image aims at exploring the power of images in the contemporary globalized world by focusing not on the image’s referential functions, but on its performative forces. By asking by what means images generate affects, produce events or sometimes even provoke wars, the project critically reflects on the traditionally dominant Western paradigm of image thinking which has customarily reduced images to mere signifiers or inanimate objects. On the other hand, the project points toward a more encompassing perspective on images by including non-Western, premodern oder anthropological frameworks where the image has been reflected upon not in terms of its ontology, but in terms of its efficacy.

French-German interfaces in popular culture and the media

Intercultural mediation and the forms of perception of the other

Au-delà des médiatieurs individuels ou institutionnels « classiques », les mass média font eux aussi partie des vecteurs centraux de transfert interculturel de la culture et du savoir. Ces « instances médiatrices non intentionnelles » (Umlauf / Colin) seront au centre de l’intérêt du colloque. Du fait qu’elles focalisent et transmettent souvent des formes culturelles populaires, elles peuvent être considérées comme agissant dans la largeur du champ culturel. De ce fait, elles ouvrent également des contextes et des espaces nouveaux à des processus de médiation interculturelle. Ceux-ci en sont souvent exclus par la notion de culture parfois exclusive des instances de médiation intentionnelles, mais laissent néanmoins des traces profondes dans la mémoire collective.

Vision in movement: configurations of time

Le Réseau international d'histoire de l'art, en collaboration avec le master « Aisthesis. Arts et littératures » (universtité de Augsburg, université Ludwig Maximilian de Munich, université de Ratisbonne et université catholique de Eichstätt-Ingolstadt) organise, du 30 au 4 octobre 2013, un atelier de recherches sur le thème Vision en mouvement : configurations du temps. Pour traiter de la temporalité inscrite dans l'image, l'histoire de l'art a longtemps fixé son attention sur la narration propre à la peinture ou à la sculpture d'histoire. Cet atelier de recherche souhaite aborder la question différemment. Plutôt que de traiter des œuvres comme synthèses d'une narration, il entend viser les manières par lesquelles l'art configure le temps.
