  Failing

  Agôn journal (no.9)

  The ongoing global health crisis, rather than overtaking the strike action in France and the UK, has instead highlighted social discriminations even further – exacerbated by its accompanying economical and existential difficulties. Indeed, public funding both for the health system in particular and research in general appears crucial to guarantee fair social policies. However, during the past decade, in research and teaching, as well as in the arts, circumstances have become very stringent: project funding, performance agreements, management via evaluation and performance indicators are more common than anytime before. The right to fail is thus obviously threatened by an ideology of success built by the neoliberal economy.

  A golden century? Rethinking Dutch painting in the 17th century

  The contribution of artistic genres to the construction of a Dutch golden age

  Si on considère depuis Denis Diderot que les genres artistiques sont consubstantiels de la production artistique hollandaise du XVII^e  siècle, leurs définitions, leurs places et leurs spécificités demandent encore à être mieux cernées.

  Intersections of Art, Science, and Technology in Soviet Film and Culture

  By maintaining the tension between artists’ imaginative approaches to technology in the Soviet Union (Meyerhold’s Biomechanics), film directors’ use of science such as physiology (Eisenstein’s Expressive Movement), and scientists’ own theorization of art history (Lev Vygotsky’s The Psychology of Art), this workshop aims at unpacking the historical and political forces behind Soviet film theory, film practice, and art history in relation to science and technology. While examining the juncture between art, science, and technology in post-Revolutionary Russia, with a focus on the avant-garde period until the death of Joseph Stalin, cinema is thus considered as a device beyond its medium of film (Francois Albera, Maria Tortajada: Cinema Beyond Film) and the medium-specificity of the arts is called into question.

  Collectionner les primitifs italiens

  Une passion européenne

  A l'aube du XIXe siècle, un nombre croissant de collectionneurs d'art s'intéressent en France et en Allemagne à une période de la peinture jusqu'alors largement laissée dans l'ombre : celle des primitifs italiens. L'objectif du colloque est d'opérer une synthèse des travaux de recherche sur les collections des primitifs italiens, qui sont restés jusqu'ici plutôt disparates, se focalisant souvent sur des individus singuliers ; ainsi que de les enrichir d'une perspective comparative de manière à ce que les études de cas historiques ouvrent sur la prise en considération de problématiques plus générales.
