SUMMARY:Fragile Images: Conceptions and Configurations of the Image
DESCRIPTION:The ERC project FRAGILE IMAGES (Grant no. 101141247) invites to
  challenge the dominant notion of understanding images as powerful actors.
  Moving away from the prevalent focus on affective\, persuasive\, and imm
 ersive images\, this project foregrounds the temporal instability\, semant
 ic ambiguity\, and ontological self-reflexivity of images. Starting from t
 he gaze as a mediator between image and viewer\, between activity and pass
 ivity\, between power and weakness\, the project proposes to intertwine a 
 praxeology of showing with a praxeology of viewing. This radically new app
 roach brings together perspectives from Visual Studies and cultural histor
 y and applies them to Roman imagery from the 2nd century BC to the 4th c
 entury AD. On the basis of archaeological and written evidence from this p
 eriod\, ‘fragility’ is explored as a pictorial quality.\\r\\nIn collab
 oration with eikones - Institute for the Theory and History of the Image -
  this workshop situates these concepts within a broader framework. In thre
 e days\, we will test\, refine\, and expand the potential of “fragility
 ” as an image-theoretical concept by deliberately juxtaposing contributi
 ons on Roman imagery with studies focusing on other historical periods\, g
 eographical areas\, and disciplinary backgrounds. \\r\\nProgram [https://
