Накратко на български
Бароковите спектакли при двора на Кристин от Франция се анализират чрез архиви, текстове и сценографии. Това помага да се разбере как ранната модерна глобална търговия и естетиката са повлияли върху природните ресурси и ландшафта.

Animation, Materials, Transcultural Ecologies: Performing Worlds at the Baroque Savoy Court of Christine of France
ANIMATE investigates the spectacles staged across the Duchy of Savoy, from its capital Turin to the top of Mont Cenis, during the lifetime of the regent Christine of Bourbon-France (1606-1663). By examining the natural resources, landscapes, and stagecraft that audiences would have seen in these performances, the research aims to construe these elaborate performances as a critical laboratory for thinking through the complexities of early modern global forces, the economic circulation they incited and the consequences on the landscapes they impacted. To pursue these aims, it focuses on a large archive of extant visual and textual documentation: twelve albums produced by court calligrapher, cartographer, and engineer Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio to document, over almost one thousand manuscript pages, as many performances in almost all their constituent elements, from lyrics to scenographies. Other 16th- and 17th-century textual and visual sources such as printed festival reports, travel narratives, natural history, medical treatises, and tax records are also relevant to this research. By way of an art historical and cross-disciplinary approach, ANIMATE training objectives are i) to further enhance our understanding of early modern Italian visual culture in the context of global connectivity and associated methodological debates; ii) to acquire new methodological tools for the critical evaluation of aesthetic practices from the point of view of ecology; and iii) to reinforce our mastery of an object of study – the courtly performance – that was expressed through all the available linguistic potential (e.g. words, body movements, two-dimensional scenery, scenic sculptures).

Цел на проекта
ANIMATE investigates the spectacles staged at the Savoy court in Turin during the lifetime of the regent Christine of Bourbon-France (1606-1663). By examining objects and scenery, costumes and movements, this research explores how these virtual spaces performed new ways of thinking about the world, its natural resources and environments, at a time that saw a rapid increase in the circulation of bodies and things across borders. To pursue this aim, the study focuses on a large archive of extant – and understudied – visual and textual documentation: fourteen albums produced by court calligrapher, cartographer, and engineer Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio to document, over 1.117 manuscript pages, the performances in all their constituent elements. This investigation stems from my experience as a research associate with the project ""Making Worlds: Art, Materiality, and Early Modern Globalization"", based at McGill University, which examined issues raised by the global turn in art history and the humanities. By pursuing an art historical and cross-disciplinary approach, in the unfolding of this research I will i) further enhance my understanding of Italian visual culture in the context of global connectivity; ii) acquire new methodological tools for the critical evaluation of aesthetic practices from the point of view of ecology; iii) reinforce my mastery of an object of study – the courtly performance – that involved different types of media. The Art History Department at the University of California, Los Angeles, one of the first in the United States to embrace a mission of comprehensive global coverage, and the DAR at the University of Bologna, the largest multi-focused Department of the Arts in Italy, will constitute ideal settings in which pursue this investigation. The success of this project will strenghten my professional profile with the realization of my first monograph, thus boosting my chances of securing a tenure-track position within the DAR.""
