  • Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven***
    170 Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven*** Abstract Geographically, Spain consists of a complex mosaic of cultural identities and regional aspirations for varying degrees of autonomy and independence. Following the end of violent conflict in the Basque country, Catalonia has emerged as the most vocal region pursuing independence from the central Spanish state. Within the Catalan separatist movement, cultural heritage sites and objects have been appropriated to play an intrinsic role in supporting political aims, with a variety of cultural institutions and state-sponsored monumentality playing an active part in the formation and dissemination of particular identity-based narratives. These are centred around the themes of a separate and culturally distinct Catalan nation which has been subject to extended periods of oppression by the varying manifestations of the Spanish state. This study addresses the increasing use of museums and heritage institutions to support the concept of a separate and distinctive Catalan nation over the past decade. At various levels, from the subtle to the blatant, heritage institutions are propagating a message of cultural difference and past injustice against the Catalan people, and perform a more consciously active, overt and supportive role in the independence movement. Key words: Catalonia, museums, heritage, identity, nationhood Across contemporary Europe a range of nationalist and separatist movements are again gaining momentum (Borgen 2010). From calls for independence in Scotland and the divisive politics of the Flemish and Walloon communities in Belgium, to the continually complicated political mosaic of the Balkan states, there are now a myriad of movements striving for either greater or full autonomy for their region or peoples.

  • Architecture and the Arts in Catalonia During the Renaissance
    CATALAN HISTORICAL REVIEW, 9: 45-70 (2016) Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.121 · ISSN: 2013-407X http://revistes.iec.cat/chr/ Architecture and the arts in Catalonia during the Renaissance Joaquim Garriga* Universitat de Girona Received 20 March 2015 · Accepted 10 April 2015 Abstract This is an overview of the process of transformation of the architecture, sculpture and painting of Catalonia during the Renaissance. It attempts to reconstruct the fundamental era of changes when the late Gothic models were replaced by the new Renaissance paradigm gestated in Italy, thus ushering in the modern cycle of arts in the country. Despite the relative dearth of a Catalan historiographic tra- dition that studies and explains the cultural heritage from this period – which was decimated by the massive destruction in the 19th and 20th centuries, which particularly targeted religious works – we begin to trace the major outlines of the process of assimilating the Renaissance which got underway in the 16th century and did not culminate until well into the 17th century. What emerges is the no- table volume of artistic output undertaken, the main agents and factors in the transformation, the slow yet steady pace of the incorpo- ration of changes, the long phase of hybridisation and the uneven acceptance of Renaissance features depending on the different pa- rameters of architecture or figurative arts considered. Keywords: architecture, sculpture, Renaissance, Catalonia The artistic output of the 16th century in Catalonia re- Thus, instead of calling the works made in Catalonia fol- flects processes of structural change which, just like in so lowing the new model the “arts of the Renaissance”, per- many other national territories in Europe, took place and haps we should call them something more neutral and can be explained through the import of models originat- simpler, like “art from the Renaissance period”.1 ing in Italy.

More than beauty of form, but truth of expression, inner truth, reflected in the features of the face, in gestures, the behavior of being as a whole, the soul. “Art is beauty and beauty is the glow of truth without which it would not exist. To possess truth, one must study things in depth. As for beauty, it is life, which is manifest in the human form through movement.” - Gaudi, speaking in agreement with the work of Rodin manifesto: Sagrada Familia Nativity Façade (1892-1910): Art into the service of religion. Gestured form creating activated space, charged emotionally, making a place meaningful. Funded and constructed by the common man, the community, a church of the people. Idealized public building and community partnership, modeled after the socialist craftsman guilds sought in the Poblet monastery, found in the church of Santa Maria del Mar, and realized in the Mataró Workers Cooperative, Colònia Güell, now Sagrada Familia. “…whose portal will be large enough for all humanity to pass through.” “Architecture is the first of the plastic arts, sculpture and painting depend on it. An architect is a man of synthesis who has a vision of plasticity – which is an overall vision – and who places objects in relation to each other in distance, he groups them together rather than dispersing them, he generalizes and sees what exists and what does not exist.

  • Structural Assessment of the Roman Wall and Vaults of the Cloister of Tarragona Cathedral
    Structural Assessment of the Roman Wall and Vaults of the Cloister of Tarragona Cathedral Abstract The Mediterranean city of Tarragona was a capital city in Roman times. Nowadays, the remains of the ancient constructions coexist with many subsequent buildings. This is the case of the Gothic Cathedral cloister, whose walls partially take advantage of the remains of the temenos’s wall. This paper focuses on the assessment of that unique overlapping of construction phases. The investigation is performed through an unprecedented topographical survey by means of massive data capture techniques. This information is the basis for the mechanical assessment of the equilibrium conditions of the northern corner of the gallery, which is performed on the well-known theoretical framework of limit analysis by means of thrust lines. The study allowed to enhance the understanding about the equilibrium conditions and the deformation processes of the gallery masonry elements, where the mechanical relation between the Roman and Gothic walls is essential.

Los confl ictos eclesiásticos generados a partir del proceso de segregación jurisdiccional respecto a la metrópolis de Narbona, la rivalidad con Toledo a propósito de la primacía hispánica y la voluntad de subrayar la fundación apostólica de la sede explican la dedicación a santa Tecla (discípula de Pablo, isoapóstolos y protomártir) y el extraordinario programa iconográfi co que plasma una versión de los Acta Pauli et Teclae. El prestigio de la caput ecclesiarum totius Citerioris Hispaniae (en palabras del arzobispo Oleguer) se refl eja en la creación de una obra de calidad excepcional que se inserta en las innovadoras corrientes escultóricas del tardorrománico hispano. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es ofrecer una datación más temprana y una nueva lectura iconográfi ca para este altar.

Nicholas Napoli The Risorgimento and the Image of Italian Culture Ernst Renan famously articulated the cultural, political, and social ideal of the modern nation state in his 1882 lecture “What is a Nation?/Qu’est-ce qu’une nation?” Speaking in the midst of the territorial disputes over the Franco-German border regions of Alsace and Lorraine, Renan defined a nation not by geography, race, ethnicity, or language, but rather a shared sense of moral conscience that was acutely aware of its own past. He defined this conscience as the common possession of a “rich legacy of memories” and the shared desire to honor and perpetuate its values in the present day.1 He called this “the social capital upon which one bases a national idea.”2 A comparable question of political and cultural identity faced the nascent Kingdom of Italy in the middle of the nineteenth century. With Giuseppe Garibaldi’s conquest of Sicily and occupation of Naples and southern Italy in 1860, the Sardinian/Piedmontese monarch Vittorio Emanuele II could lay claim to the crown of a unified state that comprised most of the peninsula.

  • Contemporary and Historical Photographs of Pompeii As Well As
    YA L E UNIVERSITY A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE March 2, 2018 POMPEII: PHOTOGRAPHS AND FRAGMENTS Contemporary and historical photographs of Pompeii as well as selected ancient objects offer a fresh perspective on the first-century Roman town March 2–August 19, 2018 March 2, 2018, New Haven, Conn.—The ancient city of Pompeii—both destroyed and preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in a.d. 79—has captured public imagination since it was first excavated in 1748. Questioning the established per- ception of Pompeii as a city frozen in time, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments highlights the changing representations of the site since its rediscovery. The exhibition presents contemporary photo- graphs by William Wylie and An-My Lê, m.f.a. 1993, and a selection of 19th-century photographs by Edmund Behles, Robert Rive, and Giorgio Sommer William Wylie, Peristyle, House of the Colored Capitals or House of alongside an 18th-century etching by Francesco Ariadne (VII.4.31), 2015. Pigmented inkjet print. Yale University Art Gallery, Gift of the artist. © William Wylie Piranesi and ancient art from the Gallery’s collec- tion. Through these objects, Pompeii: Photographs and Fragments explores both the ancient history of the Roman town as well as its more recent history as an active excavation site. The exhibition was inspired by two projects that Wylie and Lê undertook during their Gallery- sponsored Happy and Bob Doran Artist Residencies in Praiano, Italy. Wylie’s large-scale photographs of Pompeii, taken between 2013 and 2017 and recently brought together in a book published by the Gallery titled Pompeii Archive, document the passage of time—the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark the site as a living landscape.
