  Artists' representations

  X D. João VI Museum Seminar

  The ways in which we understand this figure in the history of art are the result of the visual and textual discourses built upon it. Its representations are present in portraits and self-portraits, sculptures, paintings, engravings and objects. It is also built through artistic criticism, the press, caricature, pieces of literature, biographies, or autobiographies. From texts of self-promotion to cinematographic works, we are interested in all forms of representation of the artist's figure, both visual and textual. Our temporal range is ample, reflections on the artist in diverse historical places and periods, including contemporaneity, are emphasized in the Brazilian and Latin American context, without ignoring comparative perspectives. Our starting point is the following question: In what ways have the transformations of perception about artists and their meanings (social, cultural, symbolic and political) marked the writings of art history?

  Artists’ collections

  Art Collections in Portugal and Brazil in the 19th and 20th centuries

  What are the representations of the artist's figure and how have they transformed over time? Intellectuals or artisans, martyrs or demons, naive or revolutionary, madmen or philosophers? Possibly, artists have been and still are characters in which several layers of interpretation coexist and blend. In this X edition of the D. João VI Museum Seminar, we present the theme "artist’s represetations", in parallel to the exhibition organized by Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo and the Brazilian Museum of Fine Arts, with the objective of investigating the historical constructions of the artist's image, bringing the reflection to the Brazilian and Latin American context, past and present. This has been extensively explored in French and English literature and acquires special relevance in this specific geographic universe, marked by the social distinctions concerning manual labor and the late formation of the art medium in the modern sense, after the formation of the academies and an artistic promotion system through exhibitions and the art market.

  Conference, symposium - Thought

  Education, ethics and politics in contemporary times

  Dans un moment où l’air du temps impose des ruptures (et pas encore une continuité) par rapport à l’ordre établi, la relation entre éthique, politique et éducation se donne à penser. Non pas comme « objet », mais comme interpellation vitale. La pensée française joue un rôle pivot en ce qui concerne les questions contemporaines d’intégration des différences culturelles (la philosophie de la différence) et de réflexion sur les enjeux politiques qui en découlent (l’idée d’une démocratie à venir).
