Abstract

En Grèce ancienne, une modalité importante de la perception du divin, bien qu¤elle ne soit pas la seule, est la perception visuelle. Celle-ci a pu se faire notamment au moyen des images, qui, tout en relevant du visible, permettent de " montrer l¤invisible " et de donner corps au divin. Dans le but de nourrir le questionnement sur la représentation et la perception du divin dans le système religieux des Grecs, la présente étude propose une analyse des diverses stratégies de mise en image(s) de la présence divine au sein d¤une production artistique spécifique : la peinture de vases attique des VIe et Ve siècles av. J.-C. En effet, si la représentation figurée des dieux a pu prendre de multiples formes, notamment dans la statuaire, le vase peint en est un support particulièrement intéressant à étudier, car l¤iconographie céramique fonctionne sur un mode propre et donne ainsi un éclairage particulier sur les représentations que les Grecs se faisaient du monde et d¤eux-mêmes. Par la lecture et l¤analyse des images, cette étude touche en outre à certaines problématiques plus vastes, portant notamment sur l¤éventuel référent cultuel de ces images, sur la relation établie entre les mortels et les divinités au travers du rituel, et sur l¤idée que les Grecs se faisaient de leurs dieux et des manières dont ils pouvaient se manifester.

Abstract

"Staging the archive: art and photography in the age of new media is dedicated to art practices that mobilize the model of the archive, demonstrating the ways in which such archival artworks probe the possibilities of what art is and what it can do. Through a variety of media, methodologies and perspectives, the artists surveyed here also challenge the principles on which the notions of organization, evidence and documentation are built. The book shows how artists have, over recent decades, read the concept of the archive against the grain, questionning not only what the archive is and can be but what materials, images or ideas can be archived. Ernst van Alphen explores the work of artists such as Marcel Duchamp, Marcel Broodthaers, Christian Boltanski, Fiona Tan, and Sophie Calle, writers including Georges Perec and film-makers such as Alain Resnais and Péter Forgács. Staging the Archive reveals how modern and contemporary artists have used and contested the notion of the archive to establish new relationships to history, information, data.

Abstract

"For more than eleven hundred years, the Vestal Virgins dedicated their lives to the goddess Vesta, protector of the Roman state. Though supervised by a male priest, the Pontifex Maximus, they had privileges beyond those of most women; like Roman men, they dispensed favors and influence on behalf of their clients and relatives. In 1883, Rodolfo Lanciani, Director of Antiquities for Rome, discovered the first Vestal statues. The recovery of the Vestals' house, and the objects contained therein, was an exciting moment in Roman archaeology. Newspapers were filled with details about the huge numbers of sculptures, inscriptions, jewelry, coins, and terracotta figures. Molly M. Lindner examines the sculptural presentation of the Vestal Virgins and investigates what images of long-dead women tell us about their lives. She addresses why these portraits were created, and why they only began to appear in the late first or second century CE--much later than portraits of other Roman priestesses and nonimperial women. Lindner sheds light on the distinctions between a Vestal portrait and portraits of other priestesses, and considers why Vestal portraits do not copy each other's headdresses and hairstyles. In addition to the extensive illustrations that complement the text, a catalog of all known Vestal portraits displays historical clues embedded in the hairstyles and facial features of the Vestals and other women of their day."--Jacket.

Abstract

The icon known as the Image of Edessa (and later the Mandylion) is attributed to the times of Christ, although its existence before the sixth century is a matter for debate. It was taken from Edessa to Constantinople in the mid-tenth century and all traces of the icon are lost after the sack of Constaninople in 1204. The Image has never had its own biography containing all the known texts and information about this fascinating object. This book provides critical editions with previously unpublished versions of all related texts, translations of all texts into English and a detailed analysis of the origins, known history, possible fate and exact nature of the Image of Edessa.
