The Illegible Doctor’s Writing as a Visual Artifact and Creative Stimulation for Art Education
2014
El presente artículo analiza las posibilidades educativas de la particular escritura de los médicos, estudiando la componente gráfica de sus documentos, tanto históricos como recientes. Defendemos la escritura manual como un elemento gráfico importante para la educación artística, a partir de las premisas de la cultura visual. Nos basamos en los resultados positivos de la exposición “Caligrafías de la enfermedad. Letra de médico”, una muestra en la que los visitantes son protagonistas, intérpretes y constructores de significados. Utilizamos la metodología de los estudios de caso, incorporando la observación directa de varios grupos de visitantes. También aportamos otros datos de la experien…
Riscrivere la città: Inside Out Project e Pangrel, esperienze d’arte urbana a Palermo
2019
In 2018 Palermo, Italian Capital of Culture, has been the focus of many artistic experiences aimed at rewriting the urban environment and rethinking new forms of acceptance and integration. Inside Out Project e Pangrel, two different but integrable urban art models, discussed these issues with the aim of awakening the gaze of those who live and cross the city; so he/she can have new awareness and he/she can be able to act in space redesigned by these artistic interventions. The collective action of Inside Out Project wants to show that the differences and the contradictions between cultures are false and misleading: gaze, free from usual ways of seeing, and collective action produce new spa…
Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage: ViC-CH a Synthesis Between Digital Representation and Heritage Experience
2019
The dissemination possibilities offered by digital technologies provide multiple ways of reading and fruition of the cultural heritage. In order to define a visualization and communication strategy through images, the paper shows some of the results of the ViC-CH Visual Culture and Cultural Heritage workshop, which involved the University of Trento and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The graphic elaborations focused on the Library of the Priest Seminar in Brixen; photomodelling, short films with drone shots and virtual visits have been some of the ways of manipulating the image for the animation and realistic visualization of a cultural heritage not easily accessible to date (The pape…
Framing in Crisis. Literature and Optical Devices in the Age of Hoffmann
2016
This book analyzes the interplay of gazes, optical devices and images in literature. Following the developments of Visual Culture studies, literary theory has expanded its original field of investigation and addresses, beyond the traditional relationship between the verbal and the visual, the influence that gazes, optical devices and images can have on literary texts. This research tries to define the literary lives of the scopic regimes of modernity: the gazes of English early modern women's writing, the optical devices in German literature between Classicism and Romanticism, and the images of the mineral world in modern French aesthetics.
Pazienza in His Limits: Living Experience and Iconotextual Practice
2016
The analysis of the relationship between verbal and visual textualities can find a favored object of study in the comics: an “iconotextual” device characterized by features comparable to other traditional artistic works – in order to limit ourselves to the “narration by images” mechanically copied we can think about the “moral series” by William Hogarth –, it shows, in the comparison between its figurative elaboration and at least a meaningful part of its verbal solutions, some differential specificities: beyond the inscription of the words in the balloon – with voices and thoughts of the represented subjects – the writing often attends the images with an evident descriptive intention – irr…
Disney y Ghibli: Educación sin migraciones en la cultura visual. El cine de animación como recurso didáctico en las aulas
2021
Se parte de Disney y Studio Ghibli como referentes del cine de animación en occidente y oriente respectivamente y se presenta el tratamiento que ambas toman sobre el concepto de migración. Siendo conscientes de la influencia de la cultura visual en quienes la consumen se pretende conocer el posicionamiento que un grupo de estudiantes del Grado en Maestro en Educación Primaria de la Universitat de València tiene sobre el concepto de migración en la cultura visual (Disney y Studio Ghibli) y las potencialidades que en esta perciben como recurso didáctico en las aulas. Para ello se recurre a la metodología cualitativa, concretamente al estudio de caso. Los resultados reafirman el potencial del …
Anne d’Autriche en ses images : légitimation du pouvoir féminin et culture visuelle de la majesté dans la France du XVIIe siècle
2018
Anne of Austria offers an important part, yet neglected, in the the development of royal iconography in seventeenth century France. Devoided from management of power under the reign of her husband Louis XIII, she is however the subject of many representations. The number of her images increases when she accedes to the responsibilities of the government at the death of the king, in 1643, becoming regent in the name of her minor son, Louis XIV. Beyond its majority in 1651, she maintains herself at a prominent place, until the death of Mazarin in 1661. During these two decades, a deep political crisis in France culminates in the so-called Fronde. In this context, the image of Anne of Austria b…

Visioni celesti. La pareidolia e l'immaginazione simbolica
2019
Attraverso la spiegazione di fenomeni percettivi quali l'apofenia e la pareidolia, il saggio approfondisce lo studio delle immaginazioni legate al dipinto della Vergine di Guadalupe, crasi iconografico-culturale che attesta l’incontro avvenuto nel XVI secolo tra la cultura europea e quella mesoamericana, che risulta essere una vera e propria collezione di immagini nascoste. L'esempio della Vergine di Guadalupe, e della sua immagine acheropita, inoltre, dice molto sulle molteplici sfumature dell'identità mariana che, benché fortemente radicata nella sfera sacra del cristianesimo, travalica i confini del simbolico per abbracciare il più vasto e laico orizzonte della cultura visuale. Through t…
L'aura de la memòria. La imatge de Jaume I en la València baixmedieval (ca. 1338 - ca. 1538)
2022
La tesis doctoral indaga en el período inicial de gestación del recuerdo de Jaime I en la ciudad de Valencia, entre el primer y el tercer centenario de la fiesta de la conquista, en el marco de la cultura visual; es decir, del conjunto de manifestaciones figurativas y arquitectónicas, así como de actos performativos y objetos comunes que no se adaptan a la idea tradicional del arte. Establece un diálogo con los argumentos que ya han esgrimido historiadores y filólogos para definir cuál era el papel de las imágenes en la historia de la memoria del rey. Publica nueva documentación de archivo, relee las noticias ya exhumadas y, en definitiva, presenta la revisión de un tema –reconsidera la ima…
