The Fear of Art: How Censorship Becomes Iconoclasm
Every act of censorship is also an act of iconoclasm. together they constitute one of the oldest paradoxes of image making and of figuration. To make an image is both to want it and to fear it. The more it is desired, the more it seems contra naturam, and so is feared. It often has a vitality that is startlingly at odds with its materiality and its concept. To parse individual episodes of censorship and iconoclasm is to uncover the roots of both …

Sciences cognitives et histoire de l’art, une coopération en devenir
La volonté de comprendre le fonctionnement de la psyché dans le rapport à l’œuvre d’art est peut-être aussi ancienne que celle-ci, mais elle a historiquement servi à voiler le processus de création (ainsi la notion de génie ou l’évocation du « rameau d’or » qui distingue l’artiste). C’est seulement avec le développement du discours sur l’art au xviii e siècle, puis surtout avec l’essor de la psychologie expérimentale dans la seconde moitié du xi…
Movement, Embodiment, Emotion
The relationship between vision and embodiment has still not been adequately discussed. Even less attention has been paid to the anthropological and art historical significance of embodied responses to movement, and the implications for the understanding of both imitation and emotion.
