De l’image à l’imaginaire médiéval
Facing the mediatic image’s crushing power in contemporary societies, can we conceive the locus of image in Middle Ages? How are we able to enframe it’s value out of a radical overvaluation of the visual that daily submits us? How to understand it’s functions complexity without immediate anacronism?...

description | Facing the mediatic image’s crushing power in contemporary societies, can we conceive the locus of image in Middle Ages? How are we able to enframe it’s value out of a radical overvaluation of the visual that daily submits us? How to understand it’s functions complexity without immediate anacronism? While reconstituting a brief Image’s history, from the dawn of platonism, in Ancient Greece, up to the consolidation of Christianity, this text shall address the formation of a medieval imaginary, grounding on the affirmation of sensible reason a thought that not only uses concepts but also mobilizes affects. It will question how the process of image’s symbolization occurs and how, through it, concepts like invisible and visible, perception and interpretation, memory and the promise of what’s to come, pass and future, are connected and articulate. |
