| Popis | The aim of this event is to systematically illuminate and classify the contribution of Hans Belting (1935–2023) to art history, visual and cultural studies and to reflect on its significance. To this end, three different, though not strictly separable, focal areas and thematic fields will be explored, which played a central role in Belting’s research: on the one hand, the question of the function and meaning of “cult images” in the interplay of religion, aesthetics, and ritual performance (Brno); on the other hand, the question of the real and imaginary, social and religious space in which images act or are understood as acting (Rome); and finally, the question of the presence mediated by images or media-aesthetically constructed presence (Berlin). Naturally, these three thematic axes overlap in various ways and are frequently interconnected, as Belting himself has repeatedly pointed out, for example in his Bild-Anthropologie (2001), and thematized in the triad “image, medium, body”. |
