Printed Festive Acts. Intermediality and Representation in Early-Modern Netherlandish Culture (C04)

• Subject Area: Art History ; Greek and Latin Philology
• Term: since 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 405662736

In the second funding phase, project C04 will investigate the reciprocal relationship of intermediality and representation in the early modern Netherlands, based on graphic prints of performative acts and on Latin descriptions of festivals. It aims to show how the specific interlacing of text and image influenced both the autological design of the publications and their heterological social functions. This happened with a view to the reception of and reflection on the festive acts as multimedial interactions of participants, spaces, and objects. On this basis, the status of the printed publications will be outlined, as they indicated and generated European memory culture and served as its aesthetic resonance space.
