Today's lesson is traced to memory a few days later. That's why we talk about the past and the treatment is so short. The next time you try to "post" directly to the original lesson. The method is being run, so we need patience (PC) .
The course, as you recall, concerns the artist's catalog. The aim is to clarify that as they built and built these tools of art history, sometimes mocked and put to the crisis, but in reality still irreplaceable.
The lesson started with a concrete example, that a book of art history, a catalog of an artist. In this case it was the Giotto di Pietro Toesca, published in 1941 Utet in Turin. We tried to figure out who is Toesca Peter, the historical context in which work even more where to start. You are therefore reminded of the following phenomena: Positivism, major inventions, the Industrial Revolution, the abandonment of the countryside and the urban proletariat, the growth speed of transportation, photography. A broader discussion has earned the attitude towards the history of the nineteenth century, or at least most of it. History as a science, as exact discipline. Alessandro Manzoni and historical works such as The Adelchi and The Betrothed . The fundamental role in the construction of a new history of the great archivists. Why, we wondered, this exceptional work in the archive? Why this display of erudition, in some ways still unsurpassed? On the one hand for the intellectual climate that you just mentioned. Secondly because many of the institutions where they work archivists are still alive. Archivists work therefore entities - entities that produce cards - which are familiar with the operation, as they are in fact still alive, belong to the so-called ancien régime .
On this basis, we tried to trigger the separation introduced by Karl Marx, the Marxist historiography, at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. And then the thought of Benedetto Croce, which marks the establishment of the history of historiography. Cross theorizes phenomena of great importance for our study: in particular class has placed great emphasis on the concept of relativization of history, even better on the right / need that each generation rewrites history. This thought has been put in connection with Giovanni Previtali and his Fortuna the Primitives, which is the basic text for our course.
How does all this before Peter Toesca? 1901: Peter Toesca entering the graduate school of Adolfo Venturi, in Rome, the University Rome.
