Intersections. New perspectives for public humanities
HFC-INT 2020
The international network Humanities for Change, in accordance with the interdisciplinary spirit and the contaminatory approach that characterize its activities, intends to organize a day of study on the theme of public humanities. The meeting aims to stimulate some reflections coming from different fields of knowledge and to encourage the dialogue between researchers on the possibilities of the humanities to escape from academic circles. In this sense, the main object of study is the analysis of methodologies and tools related to knowledge dissemination practices for historical, artistic and philological-literary disciplines. Particular attention will also be given to new professional figures connected to the degree courses of the humanities faculties (such as the 'public historian') and to the interactions of these professional figures with the new media of communication and mass dissemination.

Veduta – Landscapes, perspectives and panorama
The history of Venetian art, research seminar 2019
Voir Venise et son profil si singulier, fixer le cadre et la mettre dans une boîte : ce topos des voyageurs et des amateurs de la Sérénissime explique à la fois sa fortune historique et son infortune touristique. C’est pourtant dans ce territoire qui englobe la cité lagunaire et sa terra ferma que s’est aussi élaborée la notion même de veduta et de paysage. Une vue construite par le regard, en premier lieu, en tant que genre pictural, progressivement autonome de Bellini et Cima à Giorgione et Titien, dans un registre humaniste et littéraire ; mais aussi comme nouvel enjeu architectural et spatial. D’autres esprits plus scientifiques tâcheront d’élaborer, de recréer astucieusement ce que la vue offre à Venise depuis ses postes d’observation singuliers qu’offrent canaux, balcons, campaniles, jusqu’à ces fameuses altane. Patrie du premier travelling, Venise et son territoire restent un terrain d’expérimentation innovant, du Mondo nuovo aux dernières expériences de visualisation spatio-temporelles par le numérique proposées par le Venise Time Machine Project. C’est à cette « fabrique de la vision », pour reprendre la belle expression de Carlo Montanaro, que convie ce séminaire vénitien.

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.

“Venetian” enamels on copper from the Italian Renaissance
Artistic geography, collecting, technology
Enamelled and gold flecked copperware are a rare and highly refined feature of the decorative arts of the Italian Renaissance, of which less than three hundred pieces survive, and which are traditionally referred to as Venetian. Admired and sought after in the 19th century, when the main European collections were built up, these objects, whose origins date back to the end of the fifteenth century, were subsequently forgotten. The cross-disciplinary conference will shed light on technical and manufacturing aspects, and the forms and decorations of these artistic masterworks, which can be found in major museums and collections throughout the world, and point to the socio-cultural context of which they are a product. An attempt will be made to define a corpus of forms and decorations, to identify clients and patrons, thanks mainly to research into heraldry and symbols, and finally to trace their arrival on the European and American art markets in the 19th and 20th centuries respectively.
