7. Image and Imagination. A research path between cross-sections and etchings

Author

Oldani, Andrea and Oldani, Andrea

Abstract

Since the second half of the 19th century, the evolution of culture produced an increasing fragmentation and specialization of knowledge that had essential effects also on architecture. As well as other effects, the birth of several specialisms led to a more strong necessity of distinction between the ‘artistic’ ways of drawing and a more technical and scientific approach, proper of the architecture discipline. More, in general, this process was simultaneous to the separation between the Academies and the newborn Schools of Architecture. A phenomenon that has subsequently distanced architects from the knowledge of a world of materials and techniques become increasingly distant from the universe of architectural representation. This lack of cultural contamination between forms, techniques and languages produced a reduction of the ways to express imagination, limiting the means to amplify the narrative space of the drawing. As a consequence, in the more recent panorama of architectural design, the opportunities for some impartial, hybrid and highly critical narrations become extraordinarily rarefied, as the individual expression of few outstanding protagonists. Starting from this analysis, the research assumes as experimental field one iconographic model: the cross-section, and one technical space: the etching. These two components become themes for building a theoretical framework and realize practical experience. The result is a going on work consisting of a series of etchings reassuming the desire to describe, in a way suspended between reality and fiction, the complex interaction between humanity, soil and environment.

Abstract

TIl saggio analizza la gestione del patrimonio fondiario e del network relazionale del monastero di S. Prospero di Reggio Emilia, nel corso del Trecento. Attraverso l’analisi di una fonte inedita si è visto come diversi fattori (economici, politicosociali, demografici) influirono sul cenobio reggiano, mettendo in luce aspetti di continuità e di discontinuità. Continuità che si può riscontrare nel network di relazioni imperniato sul monastero, composto principalmente da comitatini e da esponenti dei ceti cittadini. Tra essi spiccano anche membri di estrazione aristocratica, i quali, al fine di radicarsi nel monastero, prendeva in conduzione terre monastiche in affitto oppure in feudo. Discontinuità che invece emerge in maniera evidente a livello della contrattualistica agraria. Sotto la spinta di esigenze economiche (aumentare la resa dei coltivi, razionalizzare e compattare i fondi) e politiche (ricostituire un solido network dopo le epidemie di peste e il governo di Feltrino Gonzaga) i contratti agrari ridussero la loro durata, da lunghi a mediobrevi, e in alcuni casi aggiunsero clausole volte a caricare il rapporto di dipendenza tra il massaro e l’abate. DOI 10.17464/9788867743322, The aim of this paper is to illustrate the management of the properties and the relational network of the monastery of S. Prospero in Reggio Emilia during the 14th century. The analysis of an unpublished source allow us to see how different causes of the Crisis of the 14th century (economic, social, demographic and political) affected the monastery, showing aspects of continuity and discontinuity. On one hand continuity can be spotted in the relational network gravitating around the abbey, consisting of both rural and urban population. The members of the urban oligarchy in order to establish deep roots in the monastery of S. Prospero used to receive monastic lands in feud or in leasing. On the other hand, discontinuity can be obviously spotted in the agrarian contracts. Under the pressure of economical (increasing the land’s yield and compacting the farms) and political needs (restoring the relational network after the Black Plague and the Feltrino Gonzaga’s government) the agrarian contracts reduced their duration, from long time ones to short ones, and sometimes they added new clauses, whose aim was to increase the dependency between the abbot and the peasants.
