Abstract

Did Spain fall into decline or flourish in the seventeenth century? This edited collection looks at perceptions and representations of Philip IV, Spain's 'Planet King', and his government against the backdrop of the seventeenth-century General Crisis in Europe, wars, revolutions and a sovereign debt crisis. Scholars often associate Philip's reign (1621-1665) with decline, decadence, crisis, stagnation and adversity (as did many contemporaries); yet the glittering cultural and artistic achievements (enhanced by his patronage) of the period led it to be dubbed 'the' Golden Age. The book analyses these contradictions, examining Philip's own understanding of kingship and how he and his courtiers used art and ceremony to project an image of strength, tradition, culture and prestige, while, at the same time, the empire grappled with revolts in Europe and falling trade with its New World colonies.

Abstract

L'œuvre de l'intellectuel et homme d'État sénégalais Léopold Sédar Senghor (1909-2001) a été largement discuté et commenté par les générations nées au lendemain des indépendances, entre rejets et relectures successives. Aujourd'hui, Senghor est une figure sollicitée par de nombreux intellectuels africains à travers le monde. L'exposition « Senghor et les arts. Réinventer l'universel » se détourne d'un parti-pris hagiographique pour relire les questionnements qui ont habité Senghor il y a plus d'un demi-siècle. Il a affirmé le rôle de l'Afrique dans l'écriture de son histoire, passée comme présente, et a défendu l'idée d'un « rendez-vous du donner et du recevoir », engageant un dialogue avec le reste du monde pour aboutir à une civilisation de l'universel. Ce catalogue a pour ambition de présenter et d'interroger la politique culturelle de Léopold Sédar Senghor mais aussi de construire une sorte de « manuel de la pensée senghorienne » constitué d'essais, de textes d'archives, d'interviews, de photographies inédites et de reproductions d'œuvres d'art qui ont accompagné la vie et l'œuvre de Senghor.

Abstract

There is widespread consensus that we are living at the end-of democracy, of liberalism, of capitalism, of a healthy planet, of the Holocene, of civilization as we know it. In this book, drawing on radical futurisms and visions of justice-to-come emerging from the traditions of the oppressed-Indigenous, African-American, multispecies, anti-capitalist-as materialized in experimental visual cultural, new media, aesthetic practices, and social movements, T. J. Demos poses speculative questions about what comes after end-of-world narratives. He argues that it's as vital to defeat fatalistic nihilism as it is to defeat the false solutions of green capitalism and algorithmic governance.How might we decolonize the future, and cultivate an emancipated chronopolitics in relation to an undetermined not-yet? If we are to avoid climate emergency's cooptation by technofixes, and the defuturing of multitudes by xenophobic eco-fascism, Demos argues, we must cultivate visions of just futurity and multispecies flourishing.

Abstract

"This book is about the Dominican church in Antwerp (today St Paul's). It is structured around three works of art, made or procured by Peter Paul Rubens: the Fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary cycle (in situ), Caravaggio's Rosary Madonna (Vienna) and the Wrath of Christ high altarpiece (Lyon). Within the artist's lifetime, the church and monastery were completely rebuilt, creating one of the most spectacular sacred spaces in Northern Europe. The author reconceptualises early modern churches as theatres of political economy, advancing an original approach to cultural production in a time of war. Using methodologies at the cutting edge of the humanities, the place of St Paul's is restored to the crux of Antwerp's commercial, civic and religious life"

Abstract

Forms of Abstraction engages with abstrac­tion not as a formal option in art, or as an airy theoretical speculation, but as an operational force that has redesigned our world and continues to do so. The first volume, Objections, takes its cue from the Latin root of object, obiectum—which refers to something put before the subject, something thrown in one’s way. This sense of the object as obstacle or obstruction, and of the artwork as an aesthetic and political objection, is explored in this volume. Objections sees artists engaging with materiality and value, with subatomic particles and radiation as well as with the objectification of human and nonhuman organisms. Along the way, we encounter theoretical objects such as the fetish, the plaster cast, the patented bacteria, the buried radioactive container, and the contemporary artwork itself. Contem­porary art is analyzed here as a set of aesthetic practices revolving around prob­lematic and questionable objects that can act as productive objections.
