Descrizione del progetto
La produzione del collage pre-moderno
Il collage è una tecnica di creazione artistica nata molto prima che questo termine fosse coniato all’inizio del XX secolo. Il progetto COLLAGE, finanziato dall’UE, condurrà un’analisi multidisciplinare dei collage del XVIII e del XIX secolo. Nello specifico, indagherà la popolarità, il movimento interculturale e l’eterogeneità della produzione culturale composita di questo periodo, concentrando l’attenzione sulle sue manifestazioni nel contesto dell’impero britannico. Inoltre, valuterà la relazione tra i valori collettivi e l’azione individuale in tale epoca storica. I risultati chiariranno come la produzione pre-moderna di collage esprimeva, rifletteva e trasmetteva l’identità di genere, le emozioni e le relazioni delle persone che li creavano, possedevano e osservavano.
Obiettivo
‘COLLAGE’ will facilitate the delivery of the 24-month project ‘Composite Cultural Production: Transnational and Multidisciplinary Approaches to Pre-Modern Collage’. The project will be undertaken under the supervision Prof. Mónica Bolufer at the University of Valencia (UVEG). The action comprises a multidisciplinary analysis of collage made in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, considering its multimedia manifestations, transnational spread across the British empire, and its status as a highly gendered form of cultural production. The mobility afforded by the project will facilitate the acquisition of research-specific skills through close work with Prof. Bolufer, whose highly complementary research project Circulating Gender in the Global Enlightenment: Ideas, Networks, Agencies (CIRGEN) makes UVEG an extremely apt and timely host for the project. Undertaking COLLAGE will globalise my established expertise on collage, advancing my international career as a research leader. COLLAGE has four key objectives: 1) to explore the popularity, cross-cultural movement, and diversity of composite cultural production in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focusing on its manifestations in the context of the British empire; 2) to reveal the ways in which individual instances of consumption and production related to wider transnational contexts, such as trade, empire, and industry, in order to provide a better understanding of how collective values related to individual agency during this period; 3) to examine how the production of pre-modern collage expressed, reflected, and conveyed the gendered identities, emotions, and relationships of those who made, owned, and viewed it; 4) to provide an unprecedented multidisciplinary historical and theoretical framework for discussing composite cultural production that moves beyond rigid disciplinary boundaries.
