Style Nation. Overlapping Aesthetic, urban and national identities
Under the title Beyond Visuality: Art, Science, Criticism and Global Studies, the third annual symposium will consider interdisciplinary issues such as the recent attempt to restore the Universal History (of Art) and the proliferation of concepts such as ‘World Art’ and ‘Global Art’ within the academic fieldwork. The idea of creating an overall account of the multiple histories of art and the idea of universalizing aesthetic values through the discourse of the postmodern are thus the main ingredients of these debates. Starting from the perception that we are in the midst of a general epistemological crisis that affects not only the art practice and critical thinking as such but also its cultural institutions in a post-national level, this symposium will test the actuality of art history (as a Western institution) and the new global designs of critical thought.
Discurso de Apertura:
James Elkins
James Elkins (born 1955) is an American art historian and art critic. He is E.C. Chadbourne Chair of art history, theory, and criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.[1] He also coordinates the Stone Summer Theory Institute, a short term school on contemporary art history based at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His writing focuses on the history and theory of images in art, science, and nature. Some of his books are exclusively on fine art (What Painting Is, Why Are Our Pictures Puzzles?). Others include scientific and non-art images, writing systems, and archaeology (The Domain of Images, On Pictures and the Words That Fail Them), and some are about natural history (How to Use Your Eyes). Recent books include What Photography Is, written against Roland Barthes’s Camera Lucida; Artists with PhDs, second edition; and Art Critiques: A Guide, third edition.
