  • Images, Media and Migrations: The Visual Cultures of the Medieval Worlds
  • Reflections and New Perspectives on Visual Cultures in the Early Modern Period
  • Debates and Topics in the Study of Modern and Contemporary Visual Cultures
  • Transdisciplinary Approaches to Visual Cultures

  • presentation of a paper at a conference;
  • editorial activities (thematic publications or a scientific journal);
  • professional internship at a domestic or foreign professional institution (such as, for example, a gallery, a museum, a heritage institution or a scientific research institute or publication)

Professor Ivan Foletti specializes in the art of Afro-Eurasia in the Late Antique and Medieval periods. In his research he explores the notion of "sacred space" as multimedia reality, considering all techniques and the performance of human bodies. His further research interests include the interaction between politics, ideologies and art history from 19th Russia and the Caucasus to 20th century Czechoslovakia and France, and the Pilgrimage art of 11th and 13th centuries.
