Abstract

"In Monumental Sounds, Matthew G. Shoaf examines interactions between sight and hearing in spectacular church decoration in Italy between 1260-1320. In this "age of vision," authorities' concerns about whether and how worshipers listened to sacred speech spurred Giotto and other artists to reconfigure sacred stories to activate listening and ultimately bypass phenomenal experience for attitudes of inner receptivity. New naturalistic styles served that work, prompting viewers to give voice to depicted speech and guiding them toward spiritually fruitful auditory discipline. This study reimagines narrative pictures as site-specific extensions of a cultural system that made listening a meaningful practice. Close reading of religious texts, poetry, and art historiography augments Shoaf's novel approach to pictorial naturalism and art's multisensorial dimensions"--

Abstract

For two centuries, Gesamtkunstwerk—the ideal of the “total work of art”—has exerted a powerful influence over artistic discourse and practice, spurring new forms of collaboration and provoking debates over the political instrumentalization of art. Despite its popular conflation with the work of Richard Wagner, Gesamtkunstwerk’s lineage and legacies extend well beyond German Romanticism, as this wide-ranging collection demonstrates. In eleven compact chapters, scholars from a variety of disciplines trace the idea’s evolution in German-speaking Europe, from its foundations in the early nineteenth century to its manifold articulations and reimaginings in the twentieth century and beyond, providing an uncommonly broad perspective on a distinctly modern cultural form.

Abstract

Marres' projects focus on the senses, the vocabularies of the body, and have an emphasis on experience. The publication 'Sensing Art, Training the Body' highlights this exhibition and training program. This book brings together a collection of 12 of the popular cahiers that Marres publishes for each exhibition between 2017 and 2021. Each presents a variation on the traditional visitors' catalogue: some cahiers contain explanatory texts and images, others are picture pamphlets, and yet others take the form of a fold out art poster. It includes The Painted Bird (2017), Dreaming Awake (2018) and Museum Motus Mori (2019) and many others. In addition to the cahiers, this publication also offers a broad selection of exhibition images and two new essays. Publicist Edo Dijksterhuis writes about Marres' full-environment art installations and anthropologist and medical doctor Anna Harris writes about the Training the Senses program. Sensing Art, Training the Body forms a compendium to The Collection that compiled all the 11 cahiers between 2013 and 2017. Sensing Art, Training the Body is available with five different cover images from five different exhibitions: Dreaming Awake (1), Museum Motus Mori (2), Marijn van Kreij: Nude in the Studio (3), The Floor is Lava (4) and Marres Movements (5) .

Abstract

Interruptions and Transitions: Essays on the Senses in Medieval and Early Modern Visual Culture is an anthology of the most recent works by Barbara Baert, discussing the connection between the experiences of the senses in the medieval and early modern visual culture, the hermeneutics of imagery, and the limits and possibilities of contemporary Art Sciences. The six chapters include Pentecost, Noli me tangere , the woman with an issue of blood, the Johannesschüssel , the dancing Salome, and the role of the wind. The reader is shown a medieval and early modern visual culture as a history of artistic solutions, as the fascinating approach between biblical texts, plastic imagination, and the art-scientific métier. This makes him a privileged guest in a unique in-between space where humans and their artistic expression can meet existentially.

Abstract

Dans le champ étendu des recherches actuelles sur le corps, la question des cinq sens et de leur hiérarchie est peu abordée. C'est le premier ouvrage véritablement consacré à l'histoire des cinq sens, à leur théorisation philosophique et à la variété de leur mise en scène dans la littérature et les arts, occidentaux principalement. Son organisation chronologique, depuis l'Antiquité grecque jusqu'à l'extrême contemporain, met en lumière les différentes manières dont nos modes sensoriels ont été appréhendés durant l'histoire, traduisant l'évolution de nos schémas de pensée non seulement sur le corps et ses sensations, mais aussi sur l'âme. C'est l'identité humaine qui s'en trouve redessinée. L'ouvrage obéit à une approche résolument plurielle et pluridisciplinaire, selon les fondements essentiels des études sur l'imaginaire, dans les domaines de la littérature, la médecine, la philosophie, l'anthropologie, la religion, aussi bien que dans les arts (l'iconographie, les arts plastiques, le théâtre, l'opéra, la bande dessinée), chacun révélant la fécondité de cette notion. Instauré par Platon, repris par Aristote, adopté par les Romains, le débat des sens témoigne du dualisme entre le corps et l'esprit qui structure toute l'histoire de la pensée occidentale. Notre culture s'est construite autour de la vue et, dans une moindre mesure, de l'ouïe, sens valorisés parce qu'ils font tendre le corps humain vers le corps divin, tandis que le goût, l'odorat et le toucher étaient considérés comme des sens inférieurs entraînant le corps humain vers le corps animal. Le débat sur les sens fait l'objet d'une représentation riche et complexe dans l'art et les textes médiévaux, comme en témoigne la tapisserie de la Dame à la licorne ; il demeure au centre des préoccupations philosophiques de la Renaissance. Un tournant majeur se produit au XVIIIe siècle où apparaissent une esthétique de l'émotion et une valorisation du sens du toucher au détriment de la vue. C'est toute l'expérience sensible qui est repensée. La remise en cause de la hiérarchie des sens se poursuit à l'époque moderne. La représentation littéraire accorde désormais une large place à l'expérience sensorielle qui se déploie jusqu'à la synesthésie. L'époque contemporaine, dans un mouvement de transgression, s'attache à se dégager d'un modèle culturel prohibitif, et les pratiques littéraires et artistiques contemporaines cherchent à réhabiliter tous les sens et à leur donner sens. De la hiérarchie aristotélicienne à la pluri-sensorialité de la scène lyrique d'aujourd'hui, c'est le "régime sensoriel" d'une culture à un moment donné que l'ouvrage éclaire.

Abstract

Challenges the traditions that privilege visual experience, demostrating that touch was, and still is, crucially important to museums and art history while arguing against ideas of touch as an unmediated and uncomplicated mode of learning.
