Il lavoro in città III: La valigia dei sogni (Luigi Comencini, 1953)

Ciclo di Film Seminars
Con l’inizio degli anni Cinquanta, la ripresa degli studi di Cinecittà come luogo della produzione coincide con il racconto cinematografico del suo stesso impatto come macchina dello spettacolo. Allo stesso tempo Roma, con la sua espansione urbanistica e trasformazione edilizia, continua a essere esplorata sebbene in discontinuità con l’esperienza neorealista. Gli studi di via Tuscolana, le scalinate di Piazza di Spagna, le consolari che collegano il centro con le aree più periferiche, il nuovo Ponte Marconi, sono solo alcuni dei luoghi di Roma resi iconici e animati dalle reti affettive e sociali attivate dal racconto filmico di questo decennio.

‘Mental Spinning’: The Female Craft of Thought in the Dutch Republic

Research Seminar
Images of women bend over needlework were popular in the Dutch Republic of the 17th century as exemplars of obedience and housewifery duty. Hanneke Grootenboer argues that in the context of the early modern debate on women’s education (also referred to as the querelle des femmes), these images should also be understood as portrayals of female thinking—the pictorial equivalent of the melancholy male philosopher—and the act of needlework they represent, as a moment of subversion and escape.

Medieval Art in Georgia through the Soviet Lens: from Colonialist Marginalization to Nationalist Acclamation

Research Seminar Series: “Shifting Images and Ideas of Europe’s East: An Art Historical Approach from the Margins”
Speaking of Europe often presupposes the existence of a stable unity of people with a common history, culture and identity. Yet it is not only the current political crisis that reveals major imbalances within the continent, where the gap between ‘West’ and ‘East’ looms particularly large. This series of research seminars offers the opportunity to read Europe's East from a historical perspective, in its relationship to other European regions, some of them (self-)declared as the center, as well as to the neighboring continent of Asia.

Rinascimento visionario: Giovanni di Paolo tra i surrealisti

Research Seminar
L’intervento intende ricomporre la fortuna critica e la memoria visiva di un artista senese del Quattrocento in ambito surrealista: dalle pagine della rivista «Documents» alla mostra Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism al MoMA di New York, l’interesse crescente per la pittura ‘eccentrica’ di Giovanni di Paolo è esemplare dell’osmosi che esiste tra storiografia e arte moderna e interroga le dinamiche che definiscono questo scambio in termini di riscoperta critica, appropriazione culturale, intertestualità visiva.
