Abstract

Au croisement de l'histoire de l'art, du droit et de la cartographie, cet ouvrage propose d'observer le développement des usages de la carte locale et du plan au cours des derniers siècles du Moyen Age et d'en analyser les causes. L'étude s'appuie sur une centaine de cas de figuration de territoires, de lieux ou d'édifices à partir d'observations et de relevés effectués entre les années 1320 et 1514 par des peintres ou des agents députés par l'autorité en Provence, dans le Dauphiné et dans la cité pontificale d'Avignon. Le dossier formé par ce corpus iconographique et textuel permet de repenser la définition de la pratique picturale de la vue à l'époque de sa gestation et de son premier essor dans la peinture comme dans la cartographie. Par le prisme de la vue figurée, l'ouvrage propose aussi d'interroger les transformations qui furent provoquées par l'accroissement de la place de l'image dans les sociétés de la fin du Moyen Age, notamment dans la conduite à distance du pouvoir. L'avènement de nouvelles pratiques de la vue doit en effet être relié à celui de l'enquête qui lui est contemporain. Ils traduisent ensemble un changement de hiérarchie dans les sources légitimes, ou non, de la connaissance et de l'information territoriale qui caractérise certaines des conceptions de la justice et du bon gouvernement des XIVe-XVe siècles.

Abstract

The book is inspired by the first seminar in a cycle connected to the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the Politecnico di Milano (May 2013). "Dealing with the Image. Ivory Towers and Virtual Bridges" was the motto of this meeting, aiming to stimulate a discussion among engineers, designers and architects, all of whom are traditionally involved in the use of the Image as a specialized language supporting their work, their research activities, and their educational tasks. The volume also includes essays and contributions of invited or interviewed authors from other disciplines, namely Philosophy, Mathematics and Semiotics, together with articles from the poster session and a report from the round table. According to Regis Debray, in the present "Visual Age", which he has significantly defined as a "Video-Sphere", all the information tends to be processed and controlled by means of visual devices. This occurs especially in the various branches of many technical studies and activities, one of the most sensitive areas to the use of Visual Language in the past and even more in the present. The volume includes an interview with the semiologist Ruggero Eugeni.
