Workshop „In and Outside Venice. Circulation of Objects, Texts, Languages, techniques, and Cultures (13th-15th Centuries)“

16 Nov 2023

Dear colleagues,

we would like to invite you to the international workshop "In and Outside Venice. Circulation of Objects, Texts, Languages, techniques, and Cultures (13th-15th Centuries)", which will take place within the framework of the GAČR project of Dr. Ilaria Molteni. The aim of the workshop is to explore how Venetian objects, texts, languages, techniques, and cultures circulated to the major centres of the medieval West and East, and to reflect on the ways in which Venetian commercial intelligence and technical know-how served the purposes of cultural domination and political domination.

The workshop will take place from 16 to 17 November at the Hans Belting Library, Veveří 28.

We look forward to seeing you!

RENOVATION & REGENERATION

Throughout global history, theory and historiography, the notions of renovation, revival and regeneration have emerged numerous times in different epochs. From Renaissance and the return to the Antiquity, to Enlightenment with its fascination with the Noble Savage, to Modernism’s inclination towards folk and tradition. The strive for regeneration has been related with the nostalgia for the Golden Age triumphs, the past “better times”, or the need to establish (or re-establish) an authority.

The Lecture StředověC JinaX – Armenofobie: Umění [a] marginalizace

We cordially invite you to the April lecture of the series StředověC JinaX. Margarita Khakhanova will tell us whether art history can change the borders of modern states.

As far as this idea sounds far-fetched, there are examples that confirm it. One of them is the impact of how Armenian medieval art was studied in Tsarist Russia.
