Appel de conférences pour le colloque « Mind, Body, and the Arts, 1100-1800 », Frankfurt am Main, Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, 28 mars 2024.

« This workshop asks whether we can reconfigure our understandings of art and health by decentering modern Western accounts of aesthetic experience and psychology. To this end, it will emphasize global early modern perspectives on the links between the body, health, and artistic production/experience. It will bring historical accounts of embodied experience into dialogue with artistic productions—and their associated cosmologies—found across a wide range of early modern cultures around the world. In particular, it will investigate whether there were links between the notion of balance/imbalance in the body, and the notion of harmony / dissonance in artistic productions and aesthetic experiences.

This conference forms part of the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project The Arts as Medicine? New Histories of the Arts and Health, » led by Alexander Wragge Morley and Carmel Raz. It will consist of three workshops – this workshop at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt, Germany, and subsequent workshops at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, UK and at Lancaster University, UK. »
