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.

30 anos de construção da cena brasileira moderna (1948-1978)

Revista Sala Preta número 18 – Volume 2/2018

Gostaríamos de destacar neste número estudos sobre os processos artísticos que se empenharam na construção de uma moderna cena no Brasil com interesse na pesquisa de formas novas de representação da sociedade brasileira. Ainda que a recorte temporal proposto faça menção a dois momentos do teatro em São Paulo, a criação do Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia (TBC), em 1948, e a estreia do espetáculo Macunaíma, em 1978, espera-se poder contar com diversos focos analíticos do tema e perspectivas que atendam à diversidade da ideia de nacional, com exame das experiências de modernização nos estados e desenvolvimentos regionais. Os estudos propostos devem ter como questão o trabalho de encenação em seu sentido conceitual, crítico e prático, o que inclui o conjunto dos elementos de produção do espetáculo, métodos de ensaio, organização do trabalho, relação com atuação, cenografia, iluminação, escrita cênica em tensão com a dramatúrgica etc.

Circulation and decentralisation of arts and literature

2nd symposium of the Guiana Shield

Loin des centres politiques, économiques, intellectuels européens et brésiliens, la région des Guyanes est un espace hétérogène composé de pays et de territoires rassemblant des caractéristiques uniques. L'université Fédérale d'Amapá (UNIFAP), et l’université de la Guyane française (UG), parce qu'elles sont présentes dans cette localité, sont capables de rassembler les recherches produites dans et sur la région. En ce sens, la II^e journée d’études du Plateau des Guyanes : Circulations et décentralisation des arts et de la littérature s'inscrit dans la perspective de la réflexion sur le « décentrement » de la connaissance. Cette posture implique de réfléchir au rôle des théories et des pratiques académiques dans un contexte situé hors du centre, sans pour autant nier la relation centre-périphérie.

Conference, symposium - America

Thinking Latin-American Right-Wings in the XXth Century

This conference is the continuation of two previous conferences held in France (2014) and Argentina (2016) which saw the gradual emergence of a community of researchers working on the questions of identities, ideas, practices and discourses of actors and movements from Latin American rightwing. It is difficult to establish the precise conceptual limits of the rightwing because of the heterogeneity and plurality of the groups and movements that have historically been part of this family and which are thus characterized by the presence of diverse political traditions. It is therefore essential to imagine flexible boundaries when considering rightwing history and taking into account the changes it experienced over time. Our purpose is not to establish canonical definitions, but rather to contribute to set general frameworks for this field of study whose historical relevance and actuality are no longer to be demonstrated, but whose limits and fundamental characteristics are still debated.

The Francophone press in the Americas

La culture et la langue françaises ont joué un rôle important dans le monde, tout particulièrement dans la presse du XIX^e siècle, phénomène qui s’étend jusqu’au milieu du XX^e siècle et s’est développée grâce à l’expansion des moyens techniques de production et de communication, permettant la circulation des modèles de presse et des sujets traités, ainsi que la constitution d’imaginaires mondialisés. Ce congrès est ainsi consacré à rassembler des chercheurs dédiés à l’étude de la presse périodique francophone dans les Amériques du XIX^e et début du XX^e siècle, comme journaux, revues et almanachs.

Vilém Flusser, Walter Benjamin – The technical ambiguities

“Artefilosofia” Journal

In different moments of his work, Walter Benjamin reflects upon the question of technology and related issues such as work as the mediation between man and nature, conducting his critical analysis of progress. He says: “What’s the idea? to speak of progress to a world sinking into the rigidity of death. (...) The concept of progress must be grounded in the idea of catastrophe. That things are 'status quo' is the catastrophe. It is not an ever-present possibility but what in each case is given.” Marxism will also be reviewed by him according to his critical conception of progress: “Marx said that revolutions are the locomotive of world history.

The ergological approach : assessment and perspectives

Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, cet appel à communications pour le IV^ec ongrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) - qui aura lieu à Brasilia, Brésil, les 27, 28 et 29 août 2018 - s’appuie sur la diversité des travaux des différents groupes dans le monde qui mènent des recherches en convoquant la démarche ergologique. Rappelons que les recherches qui se réclament de la démarche ergologique ne sauraient se réduire aux seuls travaux menés dans un cadre universitaire ou effectués par des chercheurs professionnels. Elles incluent par principe toutes les initiatives qui ont pour objectif d’illustrer et de développer les connaissances sur l’activité humaine.

13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil

13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil

The 13^th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil, entitled “Os fins da arte”, aims to highlight recurring themes in the history of philosophical aesthetics, elaborating the already constant ambiguity in its title, namely: “fins”. The term refers to the millenarian discussion about the uses of art in the past, present, and future. This takes on the important question about the autonomy of art and the regime of its heteronomy that not only asserted itself in its beginnings, but still imposes itself in the form of market demands tending to disfigure the original impetus of important aesthetic manifestations.

Our idea of "sharing"

Depuis la nuit des temps, l’humanité essaie de se réunir pour échapper aux dangers visibles (animaux sauvages, tribus ennemis, clans hostiles, cataclysmes de toute sorte) et invisibles (esprits malins, spectres, fantasmagories...), enfin, par amour, par peur, par haine ou par devoir, - par n’importe lequel de ces « géants de l’âme » – hommes et femmes mettent en scène une mythique réunion où tous puissent partager des objectifs communs, une destinée ou une mission, un projet, pour provisoire qu’il soit, ou pour utopique que cela paraisse aux yeux des incrédules.
