Full textAt the turn of the 21st century, British fiction finds itself negotiating conflicting perceptions of vision. In the context of the “visual turn,” it reflects the increasingly influential role that visual technologies and media play in today’s cultural landscape. At the same time, it addresses anxious accounts of what is often presented as a crisis of the visual. For centuries vision was celebrated as the most intellectual of the senses; today, however, it is more often presented as a key component in practices of manipulation and control. Far from standing as a master of the visible world, the seeing subject appears as subjugated, living as he does under constant surveillance, and among the simulacra of the late capitalist spectacle. While taking such concerns into account, contemporary fiction creates optical dispositives that subvert the mechanisms of visual subjectification, and pave the way for new practices of subjectivation. This calls for a shift in the paradigms used to delineate the workings of vision. The novels we analyse here leave behind optical models defined by the binary separation between seeing and seen, subject and object. What they create instead are visual encounters in which one pair of eyes necessarily meets another. The epistemological understanding of visual perception as a vehicle of knowledge is replaced by a political and ethical interpretation of vision: the seeing subject emerges under the gaze of others, whom he acknowledges as his responsibility. In seeing therefore we run the risk that the encounter might go awry, that recognition might turn into misrecognition. This conception of visual experience emphasises the reciprocal structures of discourse and perception within which subjects and meanings emerge, but also reckons with the imperfections inherent in any interactive exchange between seeing and speaking subjects. It suggests that we engage with the phenomenology of reading through the pragmatics of discourse

Full textPese a la proliferación de investigaciones sobre la etnia gitana, ningún autor ha podido aún dar respuesta a la cuestión central sobre su realidad: quién es gitano y, sobre todo, qué significa ser gitano. Esta tesis doctoral reflexiona sobre esa realidad desde cinco vertientes: la epistemología (análisis del origen, los mecanismos y el sentido del conocimiento entre los gitanos, para interpretar cómo se configuran los conceptos de verdad y de mentira entre los gitanos), la antropología (análisis de la forma de concebir, entre los gitanos, los conceptos de persona, libertad, trabajo, comunidad e historia, en tanto que elementos que configuran la cosmovisión gitana), la ética (análisis de los conceptos de acto libre, normas de convivencia y educación moral, para interpretar cómo se configuran los conceptos de bien y de mal entre los gitanos), la estética (análisis de las formas de percepción, el criterio estético y las formas de expresión, para interpretar cómo se configuran los conceptos de belleza y de fealdad entre los gitanos) y la filosofía de la religión (análisis de las actitudes gitanas ante lo absoluto y la conciencia de la propia finitud, interpretando sobre todo cómo se configura la respuesta trascendente). Todo ello se enmarca, de forma previa, en una aproximación histórica y demográfica que ayuda a comprender el marco en el que se despliega la existencia gitana. El uso de esta metodología permite superar los paradigmas de la etnología y la sociología que han dominado la reflexión de temática gitana desde mediados del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. A través de observaciones personales, de los testimonios de personas de etnia gitana y de aquellas que han trabajado con ellas, así como del análisis crítico de los libros y artículos producidos al respecto y de la producción artística y literaria de la cultura gitana, se interpretaran las actitudes profundas que ―de forma más o menos consciente― laten bajo la mentalidad gitana, hasta singularizar una definición de la «gitanidad» o «esencia gitana» que pueda ser extrapolable a todos los gitanos y gitanas del mundo, pese a su diversidad. Esta común matriz identitaria es lo que denominamos romipēn, una forma de pensar que impregna todas las dimensiones de la existencia gitana.
Despite the proliferation of researches on the Gypsy ethnic group, no author has still been able to answer the central question on their reality: who is a Gypsy and, mainly, what means to be a Gypsy. This doctoral thesis reflects on that reality from five slopes: epistemology (analysis of the origin, the mechanisms and the sense of the knowledge among Gypsies, to interpret how the concepts of true and lie are understood by them), anthropology (analysis of the form to conceive, among Gypsies, the concepts of person, freedom, work, community and history, whereas elements who form the Gypsy cosmovision), ethics (analysis of the concepts of free act, norms of coexistence and moral and political education, to interpret how the concepts of good and evil are understood by Gypsies themselves), aesthetic (the analysis of the perception forms, the aesthetic criterion and the forms of expression, to interpret how the concepts of beauty and ugliness are understood within the Gypsy culture) and the philosophy of the religion (analysis of the Gypsy attitudes before the Absolute and brings back to consciousness mainly of the own finitude, interpreting how the important answer are formed). All this is preceded, in a previous way, by a historical and a demographic approach that helps to understand the frame in which the Gypsy existence unfolds. The use of this methodology allows to surpass the paradigms of ethnology and sociology that have dominated the reflection on Gypsy thematic from mid century XX until the present time. Through personal observations, the testimonies of Gypsy people and of whom they have worked with them, as well as of the critical analysis of books and articles on this matter and of the artistic and literary production of the Gypsies themselves, we will interpret the deep attitudes that ―more or less consciously― lie down the Gypsy mentality, so as to singularize a definition of the «Gypsyness» or «Gypsy essence» that can be used for all the Gypsy people in the world, despite their diversity. This common identity rood is what we call romipēn, a sort of thinking that it impregnates all the dimensions of Gypsy existence.

Full text“Globalizing the Sculptural Landscape of Isis and Sarapis Cults in Roman Greece,” asks questions of cross-cultural exchange and viewership of sculptural assemblages set up in sanctuaries to the Egyptian gods. Focusing on cognitive dissonance, cultural imagining, and manipulations of time and space, I theorize ancient globalization as a set of loosely related processes that shifted a community's connections with place. My case studies range from the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE, including sanctuaries at Rhodes, Thessaloniki, Dion, Marathon, Gortyna, and Delos. At these sites, devotees combined mainstream Greco-Roman sculptures, Egyptian imports, and locally produced imitations of Egyptian artifacts. In the last case, local sculptors represented Egyptian subjects with Greco-Roman naturalistic styles, creating an exoticized visual ideal that had both local and global resonance. My dissertation argues that the sculptural assemblages set up in Egyptian sanctuaries allowed each community to construct complex narratives about the nature of the Egyptian gods. Further, these images participated in a form of globalization that motivated local communities to adopt foreign gods and reinterpret them to suit local needs.
I begin my dissertation by examining how Isis and Sarapis were represented in Greece. My first chapter focuses on single statues of Egyptian gods, describing their iconographies and stylistic tendencies through examples from Corinth and Gortyna. By comparing Greek examples with images of Sarapis, Isis, and Harpokrates from around the Mediterranean, I demonstrate that Greek communities relied on globally available visual tropes rather than creating site or region-specific interpretations. In the next section, I examine what other sources viewers drew upon to inform their experiences of Egyptian sculpture. In Chapter 3, I survey the textual evidence for Isiac cult practice in Greece as a way to reconstruct devotees’ expectations of sculptures in sanctuary contexts. At the core of this analysis are Apuleius’ Metamorphoses and Plutarch’s De Iside et Osiride, which offer a Greek perspective on the cult’s theology. These literary works rely on a tradition of aretalogical inscriptions—long hymns produced from roughly the late 4th century B.C.E. into the 4th century C.E. that describe the expansive syncretistic powers of Isis, Sarapis, and Harpokrates. This chapter argues that the textual evidence suggests that devotees may have expected their images to be especially miraculous and likely to intervene on their behalf, particularly when involved in ritual activity inside the sanctuary.
In the final two chapters, I consider sculptural programs and ritual activity in concert with sanctuary architecture. My fourth chapter focuses on sanctuaries where large amounts of sculpture were found in underground water crypts: Thessaloniki and Rhodes. These groups of statues can be connected to a particular sanctuary space, but their precise display contexts are not known. By reading these images together, I argue that local communities used these globally available images to construct new interpretations of these gods, ones that explored the complex intersections of Egyptian, Greek, and Roman identities in a globalized Mediterranean. My final chapter explores the Egyptian sanctuary at Marathon, a site where exceptional preservation allows us to study how viewers would have experienced images in architectural space. Using the Isiac visuality established in Chapter 3, I reconstruct the viewer's experience, arguing that the patron, Herodes Atticus, intended his viewer to inform his experience with the complex theology of Middle Platonism and prevailing elite attitudes about Roman imperialism.
Throughout my dissertation, I diverge from traditional approaches to culture change that center on the concepts of Romanization and identity. In order to access local experiences of globalization, I examine viewership on a micro-scale. I argue that viewers brought their concerns about culture change into dialogue with elements of cult, social status, art, and text to create new interpretations of Roman sculpture sensitive to the challenges of a highly connected Mediterranean world. In turn, these transcultural perspectives motivated Isiac devotees to create assemblages that combined elements from multiple cultures. These expansive attitudes also inspired Isiac devotees to commission exoticized images that brought together disparate cultures and styles in an eclectic manner that mirrored the haphazard way that travel brought change to the Mediterranean world. My dissertation thus offers a more theoretically rigorous way of modeling culture change in antiquity that recognizes local communities’ agency in producing their cultural landscapes, reconciling some of the problems of scale that have plagued earlier approaches to provincial Roman art.
These case studies demonstrate that cultural anxieties played a key role in how viewers experienced artistic imagery in the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean. This dissertation thus offers a new component in our understanding of ancient visuality, and, in turn, a better way to analyze how local communities dealt with the rise of connectivity and globalization.
