L'enquête de terrain: Quelques ficelles du métier
L’article présente quatre démarches de recherche utilisables dans des enquêtes de terrain, mais aussi avec d’autres sources documentaires. La première, inspirée par l’analyse des préjugés de races de Hughes, vise à rendre explicite la proposition majeure d’un syllogisme qui n’est pas formulé car tenu pour une évidence dans la société considérée. La seconde, une forme d’induction analytique, repose sur la recherche de contre-exemples qui permetten…
La prise en compte de cas inhabituels dans l'analyse sociologique: Les conseils de Hughes
L’article examine un problème fondamental rencontré par les chercheurs en sciences sociales: comment construire des catégories d’analyse indépendantes des catégories conventionnelles de la vie sociale? Il dégage les modes de raisonnement originaux utilisés par E. C. Hughes en la matière à partir de Bastard Institutions (1951), un article portant sur les institutions qui satisfont des besoins illégitimes ou qui satisfont illégitimement des besoins…
Freedom, Neoclassicism, and Republican Nationalism
A powerful new myth of freedom thrived among artists and their patrons in Europe and America at the outset of the modern Age of Revolutions. For many reasons, ideals of liberty and constitutional government were coupled with good judgment and taste as reflected in the art, politics, and life style of Classical antiquity — a period then studied with unprecedented archaeological and philological intensity. Simply put, Neoclassic style presented the…
Albani, Winckelmann, and Cavaceppi: The transition from amateur to professional antiquarianism
The patron-collector Cardinal Albani, the scholar-historian, J. J. Winckelmann, and the sculptor-restorer Bartolomeo Cavaceppi, though schooled in late-Baroque amateur traditions of rhetorical exploitation of and ‘quarrels’ with antiquity, helped to found a zealous and moralizing new antiquarianism, expressing ideals of scholarship and patriotism developing in mid-eighteenth-century Roman Enlightenment. As leaders and spokesmen in their callings,…

Laocoon Rerestored
On the basis of new observations of breaks, cuttings, and intact surfaces of dismantled and reassembled portions of the Vatican Laocoon group, it is suggested that a more compact diagonally set pyramidal design of greater power was contemplated or used before subsequent ancient and modern planigraphic restorations were made
Thomas Jefferson and His Copying Machines
The Steel Pen and the Modern Line of Beauty
The steel pen, made commonplace by mass production during the last century, clearly influenced the graphic arts. Although aspects of the history of the pen itself have been documented here and there, the significance of its use has scarcely been discussed. This article argues that its introduction and development after 1800 responded to, supported, and helped to shape the first modern style, neoclassicism, and successive idioms or styles. Its his…
The Dying Gaul, Aigina Warriors, and Pergamene Academicism
The Dying Gaul generally resembles the fallen Aigina warriors by reason of shared traditions of fatal combat in life and art, but apparently the then-recent associations of Attalos I with Aigina, Classical Athens, and art collecting more directly influenced its appearance. The sculptor of this masterpiece, Epigonos, belonged to a learned international coterie of artists and scholars whose rhetorical and art historical exploitation of venerated pr…

Definitions and Values of Archaism and the Archaic Style
1. Like writing, image-making in the archaic style is, generally speaking, an invention of the Bronze Age (5000 to 6000 years ago). Both writing and images presented in the archaic style are evidence of the new mental organization achieved at that time, which is commonly termed analytical thinking. Typically, archaic art defines and combines the most readily observable aspects of things, using elementary configurations or gestalts. Formulas of th…
