ROSARIA CIGLIANO FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM 2018
Landscape and nature (1680-1750)
The Fellowship Program on the Age and the Culture of Baroque aims to promote innovative research in this area of humanities and to support career opportunities for young scholars in academic and cultural institutions. The theme of research proposals for the 2018 competition is:
Landscape and nature (1680-1750)
A fundamental indicator of the variation of cultural aspirations between the late Seventeenth and the mid-Eighteenth century is the representation of the natural world and the landscape. The Seicento is the century of scientific breakthroughs and sees the formulation of new theoretical canons of representation of nature, through a doctrine that aims to amend natural features and thus to improve on them. As modernity gains momentum, in the Eighteenth century nature reclaims its centrality and authoritativeness with a great variety of outcomes in the European centers of literary, philosophical, artistic, musical, and architectural production, where the new priorities combine, connect, mitigate and find liberation from the sedimentation of earlier traditions.
Application deadline 22 July 2018, 24:00 (CEST) – CLOSED
Each Fellowship will last for one year, starting 1st January 2019 and ending 31st December 2019.
