Comment considérer le cinéma italien des vingt dernières années ? Si en France il est associé à quelques réalisateurs qui luttent contre Berlusconi et contre un système politique et économique corrompu, tels que Roberto Benigni, Nanni Moretti, Sabina Guzzanti, et plus récemment Paolo Sorrentino ou Matteo Garrone, il ne trouve pas la même estime chez ses compatriotes qui, comme en témoignent les résultats du box-office, le considèrent tout au plus comme un moyen de divertissement. La critique des deux pays s’accorde cependant pour dire que l’on assiste depuis une dizaine d’années à un retour du cinema d’impegno (cinéma d’engagement) cher aux réalisateurs des années 1960-1970. Sorrentino et Garrone auraient repris respectivement les flambeaux de Elio Petri et de Francesco Rosi… Peut-on parler d’une nouvelle vague de cinéastes engagés et d’un nouveau cinéma politique italien ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous nous sommes penchés sur quatre films en particulier qui traitent de thèmes explicitement politiques et proposent une représentation de l’homme de Pouvoir différente de celle officielle : Il portaborse de Daniele Luchetti, Il Caimano de Nanni Moretti, Il Divo de Paolo Sorrentino et Qualunquemente de Giulio Manfredonia. Après avoir analysé la façon dont l’homme de Pouvoir est dépeint par ces cinéastes, nous avons essayé de comprendre si ces films sont l’expression d’un engagement réel et d’une volonté de dénonciation ou s’ils répondent à la demande d’une économie de marché et au besoin d’entendre un discours rassurant de la part du public. Dans une société où dire du mal de Berlusconi a permis à certains de s’enrichir et de se faire connaître, et où les systèmes de production et de distribution cinématographiques semblent verrouillés, l’existence d’un véritable cinéma politique est problématique. Il semble en effet difficile d’envisager qu’une œuvre exprime une opposition si elle est acceptée et financée par les entreprises de l’homme qu’elle critique. Face à ce contexte et aux témoignages de nombreuses personnalités du cinéma, nous avons cherché à comprendre si le sens et les critères sur lesquels repose la notion de cinéma politique sont à redéfinir. / How can we consider the Italian cinema of these past twenty years? In France it is associated with a few movie directors such as Roberto Begnini, Nanni Moretti, Sabina Guzzanti and more recently Paolo Sorrentino or Matteo Garrone, who fight against Berlusconi and a corrupt political and economic system, but it isn't received with such esteem in Italy where it is considered at the most as a means of entertainment, as indicated by box-office results.In both countries, reviewers however agree to say that for about ten years we have been witnessing a return to a « cinema d'impegno » (politically-motivated films), a form of cinema which is dear to the directors of the 60´s and 70's. Sorrentino and Garrone would have respectively taken over from Elio Petri and Francesco Rosi... Can we talk about a new wave of politically and socially-aware movie directors and about a new political Italian cinema? To answer this question, we have been studying four films in particular, which deal with themes that are explicitly political and which offer a different representation of the man of Power from the official one.: Il portaborse by Daniele Luchetti, Il Caimano by Nanni Moretti, Il Divo by Paolo Sorrentino and Qualunquemente by Giulio Manfredonia. After analysing the way the man of Power is depicted by these movie directors, we have tried to understand if these films are the expression of a real political commitment and of a will to denounce or if they only meet the demand of a market economy and the need for people to hear a reassuring speech. In a society where speaking badly of Berlusconi has allowed some to grow richer and make themselves known, and where movie production and distribution systems seem closed, the very existence of a political cinema appears problematic. Indeed, it seems difficult to consider that a cinematographic work can express some opposition if this work is accepted and financed by the undertakings of the man it criticizes. Faced with this context and with the testimonies of numerous leading figures of Italian cinema, we have been trying to understand if the meaning and the criteria on which the notion of political cinema is based have to be redefined.

This dissertation investigates the evolving notions of verisimilitude and pictorial objectivity in eighteenth-century France through wax-based objects. I identify three case studies and examine the truth claims that were made about them: polychrome wax sculpture by Antoine Benoist (1632-1717) and Gaetano Giulio Zumbo (c.1656-1701) at the turn of the century; an attempt by the Comte de Caylus (1692-1765) to resurrect ancient encaustic painting in the early 1750s; anatomical models by Honoré Fragonard (1732-1799) and André Pierre Pinson (1746- 1828) during the latter decades of the century. In all cases, wax objects and associated truth claims addressed specific domains of specialized knowledge and practice. Benoist and Zumbo’s sculpture took part of period debates about pictorial verisimilitude, while Caylus proposed encaustic painting as an alternative method of accessing historical past. By contrast, Fragonard and Pinson’s work challenged the evidentiary and pedagogical value of anatomical models. My dissertation identifies potential origins of modern dependency on, as well as skepticism towards, what counts as reliable or legitimate visual information. By addressing objects and their makers that have not received substantial scholarly attention, I demonstrate how they resisted increasingly rigid Enlightenment categories, even when their ostensible purposes were in line with the broader Enlightenment project. By extension, my project offers an opportunity to think more broadly about the viability of a medium as a conduit of information, whether in the rise of photography in the nineteenth century or in today’s debates about post-truth politics.

Certains des acteurs de ce groupe italien, déterminés à faire éclater les limites des genres pour mieux les interroger, s'emparent tout particulièrement des arts de la scène pour investir des espaces de création collectifs. Cette thèse procède à l'étude des productions théâtrales de Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto et Mario Ceroli. Quatre démarches scénographiques singulières, qui se distinguent par leur ampleur. Ainsi, cette recherche s'emploie à dévoiler les multiples croisements à l'intérieur du courant, en découvrant les échanges entre arts plastiques et arts du spectacle. Il s'agit à la fois d'éclairer l'œuvre des artistes autour de l'Arte Povera et de comparer ces expériences aux activités dites de "théâtre d'artiste", en considérant aussi le rôle essentiel de l'environnement théâtral des années soixante et soixante-dix en Italie, dans le contexte d'une création expérimentale prolifique et révolutionnaire. L'ambition est de présenter les modalités de cette pratique spécifique dans l'œuvre des membres de l'Arte Povera pour l'étendre à un questionnement plus général au regard de la création d'autres artistes dans ce même registre. / Arte Povera's works and productions constantly challenge the traditional fundamentals of History of Art, thus leading to the exploration of new artistic fields. Some members of the Italian group, in their will to break the limits between genres in order to question these very limits, concentrate on theatre to invest collective and creative spaces. This PhD is an analysis of the theatrical works by Jannis Kounellis, Giulio Paolini, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Mario Ceroli. These four specific approaches distinguish themselves by their ambitions and their scales. This university research aims at revealing the multiple intersections within the group, by exploring the interactions between visual arts and performing arts. The issue at stake is both to shed light on artists and works from the Arte Povera and to compare their experiences to the theatre, while considering the central role of the theatrical environment in the sixties and seventies in Italy in a time of revolutionary and prolific experimental creation. The ambition is to present the details of these specific artistic practices that characterize the approaches of Arte Povera's members, and then to extend this analysis to a more global questioning of other artists' approaches sharing the same concerns.

Analisi del parere di lettura come genere editoriale e come strumento utile alla storia dell'editoria, della letteratura e alla filologia. / This study explains the implications of the study of the Einaudi judgements about new manuscripts as instrument of the history of publishers, of literature and philology.

In early 1505, at twenty-nine years of age, Michelangelo began work on a massive tomb for Pope Julius II. The formal, temporal, and constructional intertwinings of this project are plumbed to create the foundation of this text. Finding its only full manifestation in the narratives of Vasari and Condivi, this tomb was the site of Michelangelo's first engagement with the making of architecture. The execution of this project would go on to intermittently occupy nearly half of Michelangelo's lifetime, making it a pivotal and paradigmatic work in the understanding of his opera. Explored as an embodied architectural treatise, the tomb reveals Michelangelo's dynamic process of creative making. Problematic issues in the prevailing Twentieth Century analyses and reconstructions of the tomb are called into question and alternative approaches to establish a deeper understanding of the project are proposed. Conjectures on the relevance of history, the hegemony and limits of analysis, the physical manifestation of ideas, what it means to "finish" a project, and what constitutes a "work," are projected from the foundations of the tomb onto the making of architecture today.

This thesis deals with wall paintings of Italian character in Bu ovice Chateau in Moravia, Czech Republic. The unique wall paintings were created on impulse of Moravian aristocrat and owner of the castle - Jan Šembera ernohorský of Boskovice - in the last twenty years of the 16th century. This time represents a golden age of wall painting in the Czech lands; however, it rather reflects Italian Mannerism than the Renaissance. The paintings are situated in five rooms in the ground floor of the castle; they should refer to the level of education, nobility and wealth of the donator, Jan Šembera. Thanks to a connection of paintings, statues and stuccos the decoration of all five rooms created a unique complex. This demonstrates Šembera's ambitions - he wanted to own a richly decorated representative castle. Jacopo Strada, once an imperial Antiquarian, stayed in the Bu ovice Chateau; the stay might have been connected with his mercantile activity. He probably enabled Šembera to achieve that goal - he could have provided the Šembera's artists with Italian models and created the decoration system of five rooms. Strada made a concept of the room decoration performing various epitomes. The concept of Strada reflected the artworks of Venetian painter Paolo Veronese, the artworks of Giulio Romano and his...

This thesis is a comparative study on the late 16th century manuals of ornamentation by Girolamo Dalla Casa, Giovanni Bassano, Riccardo Rognoni, and Giovanni Battista Bovicelli. The study demonstrates that the latest Renaissance manual should be given more credit for the innovative ornamentation style that was to come in the Early Baroque era. Bovicelli's use of sequence, dissonances, and less moving notes for more rhythmic varieties are features most often associated in the style of the Baroque. Unfortunately, the topic of ornamentation in the late Renaissance is most commonly discussed as a group of different entities writing in the same style. The research for this paper is intended to separate the manuals of the late Renaissance, focusing on the separate styles that led to the work of Giovanni Battista Bovicelli.

Cette thèse avance une hypothèse nouvelle à l’énigme du décor de la Galerie François 1er de Fontainebleau, teste son efficacité sur la totalité de ses 16 unités originelles, cadres compris, et argumente la question de sa vraisemblance. Elle repose sur l’analyse de l’unité décrochée de l’extrémité Ouest en 1639, le Bacchus et Vénus de Rosso, aujourd’hui au MNHA de Luxembourg. Ce tableau est un unicum qui relève des mirabilia . Sous le voile d’une scène érotique, il traite de façon sophistiquée un adage récent d’Erasme, ici écourté : sans Bacchus, Vénus se refroidit. Par art de mémoire plastique, il « mémorise » aussi le schéma de la Monarchie céleste, tel que figuré dans la Treschrestienne Cabale metrifiee (1519) de Jean Thenaud et commenté dans son Traicte de la Cabale (1521), deux manuscrits commandés par François 1er . Par trois motifs en bas du tableau, il indique son mode d’emploi discursif qui s’appuie sur Erasme, puis Cues, puis Bonaventure. Enfin, c’est une peinture fabriquée comme les images artificielles irradiantes du De triplici vita de Ficin, mais sans effet magique. Ce tableau est le centre d’un dispositif à la fois intellectuel, matériel, et pratique, qui relie les 16 unités originelles et invite les princes Valois-Angoulême à une réception spécifique pour verbaliser eux-mêmes le programme de discours organisé. La base intellectuelle de ce dispositif est théologique : elle repose sur le verset de saint Paul (1 Co, XIII, 12), et se réfère à Erasme, Cues, et Bonaventure. Sa particularité est de transposer les concepts mentaux de ces penseurs chrétiens à un décor peint et stuqué, et ce, par serio ludere alors très prisé, en termes d’inventions formelles et d’usages inédits des images, pour générer les discours du programme. Parmi ces inventions, la plus remarquable est la pratique plastique de l’art de mémoire suivant ses règles classiques, dans toutes les unités, cadres compris. Le programme expose la vérité du pouvoir de la monarchie-très-chrétienne, par trois analogies spéculaires au pouvoir de la Monarchie céleste. Il définit des valeurs morales princières, mais aussi deux ambitions politiques majeures, le pouvoir absolu et l’accès à l’imperium mundi par de nouveaux arguments. Il forme le « miroir du prince » secret de la nouvelle dynastie Valois-Angoulême. Ce « miroir » cite aussi le « théâtre » de Giulio Camillo acheté par le Roi en 1530 et éclaire son fonctionnement resté énigmatique. Nous proposons Jean Thenaud associé à Rosso comme concepteurs. / This thesis puts forward a new hypothesis concerning the enigma of the décor of the Francis I Gallery in the royal palace of Fontainebleau, tests whether this hypothesis works for all 16 of its original units, frames included, and considers the question of its likelihood. It is based on an analysis of the unit removed from the western end of the gallery in 1639, Rosso Fiorentino’s Bacchus, Venus and Cupid, now hanging in the MNHA in Luxembourg. This painting is a unicum that falls into the mirabilia category. Behind the erotic scene lies a sophisticated depiction of a recent - here shortened - adage of Erasmus: without Bacchus, Venus grows cold. Using the art of memory, it also “memorises” the paradigm of the heavenly monarchy portrayed in Jean Thenaud’s Treschrestienne Cabale metrifiee (1519) and commented on in his Traicte de la Cabale (1521), two manuscripts commissioned by Francis I. The three motifs at the bottom of the work indicate its discursive modus operandi, drawing on Erasmus, then De Cues, then Bonaventure. It is a painting constructed like the radiant images of Marsilio Ficino’s De triplici vita, but without magical effect. This painting is at the centre of a simultaneously intellectual, material and practical device, linking the 16 original units and inviting a specific reception from the Valois-Angoulême princes so that they can themselves express the organised discursive programme. The intellectual basis of this device is theological in nature: it is founded on the verse of Saint Paul (1 Corinthians 13:12), and refers to Erasmus, De Cues and Bonaventure. It is unique in that it transposes the mental concepts of these Christian thinkers to a painted, stuccoed décor, following the serio ludere maxim, very popular at the time, in terms of formal inventions and original use of images to generate the programme’s rhetoric. The most remarkable of these inventions is the plastic practice of the art of memory, following its classic rules, in all the units, including the frames. The programme exposes the truth of the power of the very-Christian monarchy, via three analogies to the power of the heavenly Monarchy. It defines princely values, as well as two major political ambitions, absolute power and access to the imperium mundi using new arguments. It forms the secrete “mirror for the prince” of the new Valois-Angoulême dynasty. This “mirror” also cites the “theatre” of Giulio Camillo bought by the King in 1530 and illuminates its enigmatic function. We propose Jean Thenaud, supported by Rosso, as the creators.
