Abstract

This thesis investigates the relationship between Japan and Britain through the promotion, diffusion, reception, and appreciation of Japanese visual and material culture in the North East of England between 1862 and 1913, focusing on both art and design as well as high and popular culture. This regional study clearly demonstrates the nuanced ways in which the Anglo-Japanese transcultural relationship evolved during the Victorian period, - more so than previous art historical studies which focused broadly on Anglo-Japanese exchange or on the works of specific artists or designers. In addition to re-evaluating the international trade and diplomatic relation between the Asian country and the British region from a cultural standpoint, this study sheds light for the first time on the ways in which Japan, its culture, and its people were presented and domesticated in both urban and rural communities of the North East through images of Japan and Japanese objects. Rather than accepting a simplistic and strict dichotomy between "East" and "West," Japanese visual and material culture has been analysed through the concept of transculturality, which facilitates the identification of the multiple - and occasionally contradictory - ways in which Japanese textiles, fans, screens, ceramics, and other decorative articles, have been discussed, purchased, displayed and consumed in different "contact zones" such as regional newspapers, public events, charity bazaars, shops, and domestic interiors. This thesis argues that the dualism between a pre-modern and unchanging "Old" Japan and an industrialised and militaristic "New" Japan became a daily topic of much interest even in rural areas of the North East thanks to cultural mobilisers such as newspaper journalists, lecturers, museum curators, performers, companies of decorators, retailers, and authors of domestic advice literature. While reinforcing an unequal power relationship between the dominant British Empire and subaltern Meiji Japan, the resulting image of the Asian country was characterised by an ambiguity which not only favoured the diffusion of cosmopolitan liberalism, but also partly questioned strict dichotomies such as Self/Other and masculine/feminine encoded in the racial discourse concerning Japanese culture in Britain. This comprehensive investigation of the multiple ways in which the North East was entangled with a transcultural phenomenon such as the European and American enthusiasm for everything Japanese opens new grounds of enquiry providing a more nuanced understanding of the everyday experience of foreign cultures in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

7. TIBERIO: UNA VITA ATTRAVERSO L'OTIUM.

Author

PAPINI, MASSIMILIANO

Abstract

The article offers a critical review of the periods of Tiberius’ otium (Rhodes, horti di Mecenate, praetorium speluncae, Capri), with a consideration of the archaeological and literary evidence. The contribution thus reaches new conclusions regarding various themes, such as on the permanence in the horti of Maecenas and on different aspects of the decoration of the Sperlonga cave, among which the chronology of the statue of Ganymede stands out. The contribution closes by reconsidering the nature of the stay on Capri: Tiberius is a prototype of a tyrant in Tacitus, for which he was attracted by the solitudo of the isle. But even there he remained a tormented soul. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

La siguiente tesis doctoral tiene por objeto el análisis, de manera multidisciplinar, de la imagen y la autorrepresentación del poder público del emperador romano Publio Licinio Galieno, miembro destacado de la domus Licinia Augusta y gobernante del Imperio romano desde el año 253 hasta el 268.Para esta tesis se ha empleado una metodología multidisciplinar, a través del estudio sistemático de las diferentes fuentes literarias, plásticas, epigráficas, numismáticas y arqueológicas relacionadas explícitamente con el emperador. Además, también se ha usado constantemente una metodología dual, cualitativa y cuantitativa, a través de la recopilación de los diferentes datos publicados hasta la fecha, de su posterior sistematización y, finalmente, del estudio numérico y estadístico de los mismos. Por último, se ha llevado a cabo también el estudio comparativo de la autorrepresentación de Galieno en las dos etapas de su gobierno: primero entre los años 253 y 260 conjuntamente con su padre Valeriano, y, posteriormente, entre los años 260 y 268 a través del estudio de su gobierno en solitario..., The following doctoral thesis aims to analyse, in a multidisciplinary way, the image and self-representation of the public power of the Roman emperor Publius Licinius Gallienus, a prominent member of the Domus Licinia Augusta and ruler of the Roman Empire from 253 to 268.A multidisciplinary methodology has been used for this thesis, through the systematic study of the different literary, plastic, epigraphic, numismatic and archaeological sources explicitly related to the emperor. In addition, a dual qualitative and quantitative methodology has also been constantly used, through the compilation of the different data published to date, their subsequent systematisation and, finally, their numerical and statistical study. Finally, a comparative study of Gallienus' self-representation in the two stages of his rule has also been carried out: first between 253 and 260 together with his father Valerian, and then between 260 and 268 through the study of his rule alone...

12. ALBERI E BOSCHI SACRI DEL LAZIO ANTICO: LETTERATURA E IMMAGINI.

Author

Papini, Massimiliano

Abstract

According to Pliny the Elder at the beginning of book 12 the trees were originally temples of the numina while, even now, according to an ancient rite, simple country people consecrate a more beautiful tree to the god; indeed, according to a moralistic perspective, gold and ivory simulacra do not arouse more veneration than luci; the reasoning follows on certain kinds of trees protected as they are dedicated to numina, such as the oak to Jupiter, the laurel to Apollo and so on. The intervention will analyze some passages of Latin literature dedicated to the sacred groves (Virgil, Ovid, Lucan) searching for parallels or identifying the differences with the most distinctive components of the category of so-called idyllic-sacral paintings. In similar images, sacred trees are often found at the center of the composition, in association with architectural structures of various types. The second part of the article will be dedicated precisely to the latter and to their actual correspondence or not to constructions known from archaeological evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

L’enquête a pris pour point de départ une figure familière aux habitants du quartier de la place Navone, la célèbre statue parlante de Pasquino. Dès sa découverte à la Renaissance et jusqu’à nos jours, ce marbre antique est devenu le lieu d’affichage d’épigrammes et d’autres formes d’expression écrite à l’encontre des autorités religieuses et politiques, les « pasquinades ». A partir de ce cas spécifique dont la renommée à l’époque moderne est singulière, l’enquête s’est vite élargie à l’ensemble des manifestations illicites dont les statues ont été le réceptacle depuis l’Antiquité, mais aussi plus largement aux divers signes et manifestations qui leur ont été attribuées, sans négliger le lien unissant la statue elle-même, dès sa conception ou son installation dans un lieu public, et le texte qui l’accompagne officiellement. L’image statuaire, par la vie et les paroles qu’on lui prête, devient alors le lieu d’une expression revendicative, voire d’une contestation violente. Pour en finir avec les forces qu’elle déploie ou qui s’affrontent dans la représentation elle-même, il n’y a qu’un pas à franchir, lorsque la conjoncture s’offre aux manifestations brutales : la destruction ou la mutilation de l’objet lui-même. Ainsi les mécanismes à l’œuvre pour « faire parler » une statue portent-ils toujours en eux le risque de les « faire taire » un jour. Les travaux réunis dans le présent volume – centrés sur le monde gréco-romain, ils s’ouvrent à d’autres contextes et d’autres périodes - appartiennent donc aux deux volets indissociables d’un même effort d’explicitation, depuis la naissance de l’Ecriture jusqu’à l’âge de la médiatisation planétaire.

19. Le statue parlanti (e I tanti modi per zittirle) nell’antichità greca e romana

Abstract

L’articolo fornisce una rassegna di casi di statue parlanti (in particolare di natura funeraria) a partire dall’età arcaica : grazie alle iscrizioni produttrici di un durevole kleos, le sculture erano in grado di acquistare la parola. Le immagini potevano poi evocare l’illusione di parlare secondo quegli elogi persistenti da Omero alla tarda antichità – e oltre – che esaltano scultura e pittura per il grado di perfezione mimetica : sembrano sul punto di respirare e anche di parlare le creazioni degli artefici più celebrati per la ricerca della veritas/aletheia. Dopo la menzione di casi celebri di statue parlanti di diversi luoghi e tempi, come quelli di Memnon a Tebe in Egitto e di due divinità in epoca repubblicana (Fortuna Muliebris al momento della sua consacrazione nel tempio sulla via Latina e Giunone a Veio in occasione della conquista della città da parte di M. Furio Camillo), il contributo riserva la parte finale anche a differenti esempi di offesa e distruzione di sculture da due poli temporali opposti, il VI-V sec. a.C. e l’età tardo-antica.

27. Introduction - An internal ecosystem: power balance in British curatorial practice.

Abstract

In her research about the museum ecosystem, Jung (2011) explored the links between art galleries and the wider society they aim to serve. However, this ecosystem theory did not delve into notions of power or authority within the museum institution. Whilst scholars have investigated the nature of museums as a source of power/knowledge, there is no similar in-depth analysis of the impact of this social power on curatorial practices. This special issue aims to shed light on the often overlooked but significant power dynamics taking place within the walls of the museum, with a focus on the British art institutional context. Through a series of case studies, the contributors investigate and deconstruct the relationship between curators and their institutions in a range of periods, art forms, circumstances and locations within the UK. Together, the articles offer a critical analysis of the strategies put in place by curators within their institutional structures, shaping their interactions with artists, colleagues, critics, connoisseurs, private collectors, commercial art galleries and public funders. The contributions move away from the opposition between an artistic centre and a periphery, to instead consider the constellation of practices making up the British curatorial scene and its intersection with a globalised art world.

49. GLI SGUARDI DELLA PITTURA: I VOLTI E GLI OCCHI NELLE EIKONES DI FILOSTRATO MAGGIORE.

Author

PAPINI, MASSIMILIANO

Abstract

In the Eikones Philostratus the Elder praises painting against the many forms of plastic art: modelling in clay, imitation in bronze, and the work of those who carve Lygdian or Parian marble. Painting makes its contribution by the use of colours and with this one means ingeniously accomplishes much more, showing light and shadow and knowing the gaze, now of the man who is mad, now of the man who is sorrowing or rejoicing. The article focuses on the attention that Philostratus reserves for the faces, the eyes and other features of the painted figures as an expression of their character and feelings.
