Abstract

"Des années 1960 à nos jours, nombre d'artistes à l'échelle internationale ont exploré la fabrique de l'objet du quotidien en dialoguant avec un certain design dans le champ élargi de la culture matérielle. Ils interrogent la veine utilitariste des objets afin de la contrer, mais aussi le formatage des normes de goût, pour revisiter les dimensions mémorielle, affective, fétichiste, sociologique, anthropologique, de la culture matérielle. De Claes Oldenburg à Richard Artschwager, de Robert Gober à Jeff Koons, de Wiebke Siem à Rachel Whiteread, de Martin Boyce à Tobias Rehberger, de Franz West à Fabrice Hyber, entre autres, les créations mettent au jour le passage du modernisme au postmodernisme dont il convient désormais de retracer une généalogie critique. Chaque œuvre se veut par ailleurs l'emblème de la circulation des échanges de valeurs culturelles dont on peut observer la transformation au fil du temps. Il en résulte un phénomène de mutation esthétique, politique et historique ouvrant une nouvelle appréhension de l'objet du quotidien, où la liberté de l'expérience devient fondatrice pour réinventer les modes de vie. Les artistes revisitent ces emblèmes et créent peu à peu des objets du don, dont la dimension symbolique engendre une conception des relations sociétales contemporaines porteuses de nouvelles modalités de l'échange."

Abstract

In December 1788, in the northern Peruvian city of Trujillo, fifty-one-year-old Spanish Bishop Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón stood surrounded by twenty-four large wooden crates, each numbered and marked with its final destination of Madrid. The crates contained carefully preserved zoological, botanical, and mineral specimens collected from Trujillo's steamy rainforests, agricultural valleys, rocky sierra, and coastal desert. To accompany this collection, the Bishop had also commissioned from Indian artisans nine volumes of hand-painted images portraying the people, plants, and animals of Trujillo. He imagined that the collection and the watercolors not only would contribute to his quest to study the native cultures of Northern Peru but also would supply valuable information for his plans to transform Trujillo into an orderly, profitable slice of the Spanish Empire. Based on intensive archival research in Peru, Spain, and Colombia and the unique visual data of more than a thousand extraordinary watercolors, The Bishop's Utopia recreates the intellectual, cultural, and political universe of the Spanish Atlantic world in the late eighteenth century. Emily Berquist Soule recounts the reform agenda of Martínez Compañón—including the construction of new towns, improvement of the mining industry, and promotion of indigenous education—and positions it within broader imperial debates; unlike many of his Enlightenment contemporaries, who elevated fellow Europeans above native peoples, Martínez Compañón saw Peruvian Indians as intelligent, productive subjects of the Spanish Crown. The Bishop's Utopia seamlessly weaves cultural history, natural history, colonial politics, and art into a cinematic retelling of the Bishop's life and work.

Abstract

Located in the heel of the Italian boot, the Salento region was home to a diverse population between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. Inhabitants spoke Latin, Greek, and various vernaculars, and their houses of worship served sizable congregations of Jews as well as Roman-rite and Orthodox Christians. Yet the Salentines of this period laid claim to a definable local identity that transcended linguistic and religious boundaries. The evidence of their collective culture is embedded in the traces they left behind: wall paintings and inscriptions, graffiti, carved ­­tombstone decorations, belt fittings from graves, and other artifacts reveal a wide range of religious, civic, and domestic practices that helped inhabitants construct and maintain personal, group, and regional identities. The Medieval Salento allows the reader to explore the visual and material culture of a people using a database of over three hundred texts and images, indexed by site. Linda Safran draws from art history, archaeology, anthropology, and ethnohistory to reconstruct medieval Salentine customs of naming, language, appearance, and status. She pays particular attention to Jewish and nonelite residents, whose lives in southern Italy have historically received little scholarly attention. This extraordinarily detailed visual analysis reveals how ethnic and religious identities can remain distinct even as they mingle to become a regional culture.
