Or so it seems. Depictions of books\, in particular\, provide a locus for understanding painters’ nuanced relationships to tangible real-world things. This talk will investigate the verisimilitude of books in the art of Jan van Eyck and his contemporaries\, relying on the newly launched Books as Symbols in Renaissance Art (BASIRA) database to compare and contrast. What is revealed is an array of approaches\, ranging from archaeologically exact renditions of actual books to structurally plausible but impossibly lavish avatars imbued with fictive production histories and material biographies. In the end\, the prism of the book provides a way to see beyond the conventional paradigm of symbolism disguised as reality\, exposing the ability of early modern painting to imagine alternative worlds. \n  \nDr. Herman is the Lawrence J. Schoenberg Curator at the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies and Medieval Studies Librarian at Penn Libraries. His teaching and research focus on manuscript illumination and its intersection with other media in fifteenth- and early-sixteenth-century Europe.

Girolamo Cardano classified sport as requiring two separate abilities\, “agility of body\, as with a ball; or of strength\, as with a discus and in wrestling\,” and in the sixteenth century exercises which emphasized agility over brute strength increasingly gained prominence as venues for the salubrious maintenance of physique and the performance of aristocratic masculine virtue during social and political conduct. A rhetorical slippage between sport and war frequently manifested itself in both artistic representations of and the performance of sport in order to ascribe the virtues of virility to aristocratic athletes. Yet the real or potential corporeal dominance of a brawny artisanal class\, a “rivalry not of birth\, but of strength and ability\, wherein villagers are quite a match for nobles\,” in the words of Castiglione\, also fundamentally influenced the regulation and representation of bodies through sport. The rising need for a professional class of athletes paid to perform on the street and as salaried members of courts\, experts who also wrote about and taught their athletic arts\, alongside the rising need for craftsmen to produce and manage equipment and spaces\, proved a complication to the maintenance and perception of social hierarchies. The codification of systems of rules and equipment\, far from simply reflecting a growing interest in athletics\, was a response in part to bodies on display\, and thusly created structures of supervision that consolidated control for powerful operators in homosocial networks. Sports were a central tool in literally and imaginatively shaping the bodies of early modern men and women within intersecting systems of bodily signification\, political performance\, and social decorum. \n  \nDr. Kelli Wood is an interdisciplinary researcher\, writer\, and curator whose work combines methods from art history\, game studies\, sports science\, and museology. In 2019 she joined the University of Tennessee as the Dale G. Cleaver Asst. Professor of Art History – Museum & Curatorial Studies following three years as a postdoctoral scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows. Wood’s research on the visual and material culture of games and sports spanning from Renaissance board games to contemporary video games has been published in journals such as Art History\, Renaissance Studies\, ArLis\, and in edited volumes and art magazines. Her first book based on her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago\, The Art of Play in Early Modern Italy\, is under contract with Amsterdam University Press. In 2021-2022 Wood undertook an NEH-Mellon Fellowship in Digital Publication for her project on digitizing board games from the Renaissance as playable video games. Her new scholarly projects turn toward sixteenth and seventeenth-century Goa\, India\, and her research as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar to India in 2022-2023 is forthcoming in Renaissance Quarterly. Wood’s research has also been generously supported by the Fulbright Italy\, a CASVA Kress fellowship at the NGA\, and the Renaissance Society of America. Wood curated a permanent wing of the Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum\, A Global History of Sport\, which opened in 2022 for the FIFA World Cup. She serves as Field Editor of Early Modern Art for the College Art Association and an editor of The New Art Examiner.

This sensorial turn has led to innovative ways of experiencing and analyzing art\, architecture\, and cultural practices. Multi-sensory approaches have allowed us to reassess assumptions of past material culture\, while providing new directions for contemporary artistic production. Uncovering the Senses aims to foster conversations about multi-sensory perceptions and reactions to art beyond its visuality.

We live in an era of precarity and ecological anxiety that threatens landscapes and monuments of cultural heritage. What does it mean to practice fieldwork in such a tense present and what kinds of unexpected collaborations and new sensitivities are required to study landscapes\, monuments\, and their communities in the Anthropocene? In what ways can humanities contribute to debates on climate change? In this paper\, Professor Ömür Harmanşah presents the concepts of landscape and fieldwork as sites of creativity in thinking toward a resilient and politically engaged practice that engages with architectural heritage. \nÖmür Harmanşah is Director of the School of Art & Art History and Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is an architectural historian and landscape archaeologist and his research and teaching focuses on the art\, architecture\, and material culture of ancient Western Asia. His more recent research is in environmental humanities\, addressing political ecology and cultural heritage in the Anthropocene. He is the author of Cities and the Shaping of Memory in the Ancient Near East (Cambridge\, 2013)\, and Place\, Memory\, and Healing: An Archaeology of Anatolian Rock Monuments (Routledge\, 2015). He is also a co-author in Thames & Hudson’s new global art history textbook The History of Art: A Global View (2021). For fieldwork\, he has been directing Yalburt Yaylası Archaeological Landscape Research Project\, an archaeological survey in Turkey’s Konya province since 2010. He was also the Lead-PI for “Political Ecology as Practice: A Regional Approach to the Anthropocene” (2017-2019)\, funded by the Humanities Without Walls Consortium with a grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation. His current book project is titled Landscapes of the Anthropocene: Archaeology\, Fieldwork\, and the Politics of Heritage in the Middle East (under contract with Routledge).

Since then\, however\, scholars have shown how this particular extremist group – one among many ultraist socio-political formations active worldwide – should in fact be considered hyper-modern in its use of futuristic-nostalgic rhetoric\, astutely crafted visual messaging\, and vast portfolio of media and communication technologies. \nAs of late\, however\, ISIS has been outstripped in sheer production and online presence by right-wing political groups in Europe and the United States\, such as Identity Evropa\, Alternativ für Deutschland\, Act for America\, and Stop Islamization of America. A close analysis of the rhetorical and visual production of these Euro-American extremist and hate groups reveals not a diametric clash with ISIS’s own output but rather a concurrence in symbolic lexica\, in which\, above all\, a new form of Orientalism – of anathemizing the perceived other – is asserted to craft and entrench a nativist stance. This “border security” stance involves a range of identity-based taxonomic simplifications as well as a calculated visual instrumentalization of fears linked to migration\, miscegenation\, and misogyny. \nDr. Christiane Gruber is Professor of Islamic Art and Former Chair in the History of Art Department at the University of Michigan as well as Founding Director of Khamseen: Islamic Art History Online. Her scholarly work (available here) explores medieval to contemporary Islamic art\, especially figural representation\, depictions of the Prophet Muhammad\, manuscripts and book arts\, architecture\, and modern visual and material cultures. Her two most recent publications include The Praiseworthy One: The Prophet Muhammad in Islamic Texts and Images and The Image Debate: Figural Representation in Islam and Across the World\, and her public-facing essays have appeared in Newsweek\, The Conversation\, New Lines\, Jadaliyya\, and Prospect Magazine\, among others.
