José Luis Peixoto Abstract The current research focuses on the nexus between photography, modernity, and the city. Building on a critical exploration of the opus of two mid-nineteenth century photographers – Edmond Fierlants from Antwerp, and Militão Augusto de Azevedo from São Paulo – the study aims to provide a theoretical and methodological dialogue between the field of visual culture and philosophy, especially through a Benjaminian materialist perspective. Inquiring into the origins of photography as a simultaneous product and producer of modernity, the study aims at offering a decentred perspective gathered from two cities which, during the moment in question, could be considered peripheral to the great capitalist metropolises. By addressing a relation dear to visual culture, anthropology, history, urban studies and philosophy anew, the study’s embedded interdisciplinary character aims at expanding, also, the materialist tradition which legacy is attested, still today, in the areas in question. From a re-evaluation of the emergence of modernity to the inquire on the invention of photography, and from there to the analysis of the works of Fierlants and Azevedo, the research draws a historical perspective focused on the importance of vision and the growing centrality of photography. In this perspective, the revolution caused by photography brings attention to the role played by the apparatus in the context of the nineteenth century as, attached to the ruling ideology, progressively turns photography into the main representative of an epistemology grounded on the belief in verisimilitude, realism and truth embedded in visual representation. In this, the need to think the relation between technologies of representation and pictorial traditions, in connection to epistemology and theories of knowledge becomes of prime importance as this articulation shows, ultimately, how photography, exemplified in the cities documented by Fierlants and Azevedo, plays an important role in the ways we perceive the world that surround us. In this, photography shows to be tightly connected to political ideologies, exemplifying how visual technologies may set forth progressive or regressive potentials of our ways of seeing and representing the world.

  • National Identity and Nineteenth-Century Franco-Belgian Sculpture
    National Identity and Nineteenth-Century Franco-Belgian Sculpture This book elaborates on the social and cultural phenomenon of national schools dur- ing the nineteenth century, via the less studied field of sculpture and using Belgium as a case study. The role, importance of, and emphasis on certain aspects of national identity evolved throughout the century, while a diverse array of criteria were indicated by com- missioners, art critics, or artists that supposedly constituted a “national sculpture.” By confronting the role and impact of the four most crucial actors within the artistic field (politics, education, exhibitions, public commissions) with a linear timeframe, this book offers a chronological as well as a thematic approach. Artists covered include Guillaume Geefs, Eugène Simonis, Charles Van der Stappen, Julien Dillens, Paul Devigne, Constan- tin Meunier, and George Minne.

Obligation and Self-Interest in the Defence of Belgian Neutrality, 1830-1870 Frederik Dhondt1 Introduction ‘we are less complacent than the Swiss, and would not take treaty violations so lightly.’ Baron de Vrière to Sylvain Van de Weyer, Brussels, 28 June 18592 Neutrality is one of the most controversial issues in public international law3 and international relations history.4 Its remoteness from the United Nations system of collective security has rendered its discussion less topical.5 The significance of contemporary self-proclaimed ‘permanent neutrality’ is limited. 6 Recent scholarship has taken up the theme as a general narrative of nineteenth century international relations: between the Congress of Vienna and the Great War, neutrality was the rule, rather than the exception.7 In intellectual history, Belgium’s neutral status is seen as linked to the rise of the ‘Gentle Civilizer of Nations’ at the end of the nineteenth century.8 International lawyers’ and politicians’ activism brought three Noble Peace Prizes (August Beernaert, International Law Institute, Henri La Fontaine). The present contribution focuses on the permanent or compulsory nature of Belgian neutrality in nineteenth century diplomacy, from the country’s inception (1830-1839)9 to the Franco- 1 Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), University of Antwerp, Ghent University/Research Foundation Flanders.

  • The Image of Early Netherlandish Art in the Long Nineteenth Century
    ALISON HOKANSON & EDWARD H. WOUK The past is always present: The image of early Netherlandish art in the long nineteenth century In 1881, the American collector Stephen Whitney Phoenix bequeathed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a painting by the artist Wilhelm (Guillaume) Koller (1829- 1884/1885) entitled Hugo van der Goes painting the portrait of Mary of Burgundy (fijig. 1). Koller, who trained in Vienna and Düsseldorf, moved in 1856 to Belgium, where he exhibited this painting at the Brussels Salon of 1872.1 The picture imagines an encounter between Van der Goes (ca. 1440-1482) and Mary of Burgundy (1457-1482), shown as a child seated on the lap of her young stepmother Margaret of York (1446-1503). Behind them is likely 1 Charles the Bold (1433-1477), who married Margaret after the death of Mary’s mother, Wilhelm (Guillaume) Koller, Hugo 2 van der Goes painting the portrait Isabella of Bourbon (1434-1465).
