The inclusion of non-western artistic traditions in cultural policy:Contrasting social justice and public diplomacy approaches
2017
On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a variety of disciplines, including theatre, music, dance, literature, cinema and visual arts. This article offers a systematic comparison of two such initiatives that have been developed at the national level: the Equity Office of the Canada Council for the Arts and Spain’s network of cultural ‘Houses’ (Red de Casas). While the former was assigned a so…
Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” as Bildungsromane
2018
Abstract In this essay, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” is read as a series of Bildungsromane that test the limits of that genre. In these thematically unrelated novels, characters reach critical points in their lives when they are confronted with the ways in which their respective childhoods have shaped their grownup expectations and professional careers. In each, the protagonist has a successful career, whether as a musician (The Unconsoled), a detective (When We Were Orphans), or a carer (Never Let Me Go), but finds it difficult to overcome childhood trauma. Ishiguro’s treatment of childhood in these novels foregrounds the tension between individual subjectivity and the formal st…
Artrepreneurs and the autonomy paradox
2022
In this article, we examine the views that young (under 35 years) freelancers and entrepreneurs who work as professional artists in Finland have of their work. We refer to them as artrepreneurs. Our data sample is composed of the responses of entrepreneurs and freelancers (n = 209) from a survey data on young artists (n = 565) collected in 2017. By using a set of quantitative methods we study the impact of different factors on the job satisfaction experienced by freelancers and entrepreneurs, the nature and motivation factors of their work, as well as their status and livelihood. In our interpretative framework, central concepts are the “hybridity” and “precarity” of artists’ work and “auto…

L’impact de l’incongruence d’un produit culturel nouveau sur l’acceptabilité d’une innovation artistique : un cadre théorique
2018
In this research, we agree with the definition of artistic innovation as a new product/service (or a new feature of a product/service) that breaks existing artistic conventions. As a result, artistic innovations can be perceived as incongruous by consumers. Congruence/incongruence expresses a correspondence or a non-correspondence between two entities, which can be an object and the schema that it evokes (Meyers-Levy and Tybout, 1989) and/or two or more elements contained in an object (Mandler 1982). On theother hand, a perception of incongruence may elicit a feeling of dissonance in people, relying on the theory of cognitive dissonance. This defines it like the negative affective state cau…
I Dolfin e la loro dimora veneziana. Vicende attorno a una nobile famiglia e al palazzo di San Pantalon
2014
Questo saggio apre l’ultima parte del volume dedicato a Ca' Dolfin, trattando gli aspetti storici e storico-artistici che riguardano il palazzo dell’antica famiglia dei Dolfin. Il contributo concentra in particolare sulla dinastia dei Dolfin, di cui il palazzo su rio Novo rappresentò la dimora principale e di conseguenza ospitò importanti episodi della storia politica e artistica di Venezia. Viene inoltre ripercorsa la storia di competenza fra la famiglia Dolfin e i diversi artisti che hanno decorato il palazzo, tra cui in particolare Giambattista Tiepolo e i suoi dieci teneri di tematica romana antica.
The Road to Parnassus. Artist Strategies in Contemporary Art. Rise and Success of Glasgow artist Douglas Gordon and of the wider YBA generation
2015
How can one become a successful artist? Where should one start a career in the art world? What are useful strategies to achieve recognition in the art system? Such questions hoard in students' minds ever since entering art school and they probably chase every kind of art professional who is at an early career stage. “The Road to Parnassus” tries to understand what makes a good start in today's art world, who are influential players in the field and which strategies might apply. The swift career ascension of Glasgow artist Douglas Gordon – one of today's leading visual artists – and of the broader YBA generation that rose into worldwide prominence in the 1990s – Damien Hirst and Sarah Lucas …
Il Cielo in una Stanza
2021
Il testo, nato nell'ambito del progetto "Noi come voi, mission impossible?" patrocinato dall'Università degli Studi di Palermo, è un racconto illustrato concepito come una guida per accompagnare bambini e ragazzi nella visita dei tesori artistici della città. Al centro del percorso è la "stanza delle meraviglie", che è stata recentemente scoperta in un edificio ubicato fra il Palazzo dei Normanni e il mercato di Ballarò." La scommessa", scrive Giuseppe Zanniello, "è stata quella di ritenere che i bambini delle scuole primarie potessero migliorare la propria autostima riflettendo sui tesori artistici che sono fisicamente presenti accanto alla loro scuola e alle loro abitazioni, ma ai quali e…
