Flashback

Naar aanleiding van de 200ste verjaardag van het Mauritshuis Den Haag vroeg het museum aan zestien Nederlandse topfotografen om te reflecteren op hun wereldcollectie en gebouw.  Geen remake van een bestaand schilderij, maar conceptueel nieuw werk: waar voelt de fotograaf een link met wat hij ziet, hoe interpreteert hij die 17de-eeuwse kunst, de maatschappelijke en inhoudelijke lading in het werk, hoe resoneert dat en wat doet dat weer met ons brein?  De schilderijen van Remrandt, Vermeer, Van der Weyden e.a. zijn honderden jaren op talloze plekken door duizenden ogen bekeken. Hoe kijken de werken terug naar ons? Wat zagen we eerder niet en wat zien wij niet maar de fotografen wel? Kunnen we kunst écht tot ons door kunnen laten dringen en zo ja, hoe? Met werk van onder meer Rineke Dijkstra, Desirée Dolron, Dustin Thierry, Erwin Olaf, Stephan Vanfleteren, Anton Corbijn en Viviane Sassen.

Mood and Trope

"This unusual, potent contribution to affect studies ranges widely over philosophy and literature to explore the centrality of trope and rhetoric to the inescapable triad of mood (affect), understanding (thought), and speech (discourse). Reconnecting affect studies with major issues in literary studies, philosophy, and aesthetics, Brenkman makes a fundamental contribution to this emergent field."--Jonathan Culler, Cornell University "In an earlier dark time, Kenneth Burke famously called literature 'equipment for living.' In our own moment, John Brenkman's Mood and Trope serves as a closely-reasoned and useful guide to the history of philosophies of affect and the passions. Reading texts from the Renaissance to the present with his usual clarity and precision, Brenkman shows us how literature has extended and deepened the possibilities of feeling and knowledge of feeling alike. In the end he argues that practices of poiesis and learning have played, and can continue to play, a vital role not only in the preservation of democracy, but also, as we enter an era shadowed by the prospect of extinction, in human flourishing itself." --Susan Stewart "Brenkman's Mood and Trope is a major contribution to contemporary literary studies, bringing a renewed conception of affect to bear upon poetics. Combining philosophical inquiry with brilliant interpretive readings, Brenkman not only draws out the distinctive imbrications of mood and trope across a range of modern poetic projects but also revitalizes the concept of criticism itself through a stunning reframing of Kantian aesthetic judgment in pragmatic, communicative terms."--Amanda Anderson, Brown University
