MODERNISMOS IBÉRICOS E O IMAGINÁRIO PRIMITIVISTA
|
Data de início: 1 de Setembro de 2018. Este projecto tem como objectivo analisar as múltiplas e contraditórias manifestações do primitivismo nas artes e na cultura visual dos países ibéricos, considerando quer o seu protagonismo na busca por modos de expressão anti-ilusionistas, quer os meios através do quais a "fantasia primitivista" incorporou pré-concepções de raça, género e classe, ora para as confirmar, ora para as alterar. A investigação abordará os diferentes laços que Espanha e Portugal mantiveram com o seu passado imperial, bem como a promoção da estética nacionalista e folclórica da política cultural das ditaduras dos dois países, e as manifestações de vanguarda que se lhes opuseram; as referências locais, materiais e da vida quotidiana; as ideologias nacionalistas e outras condicionantes políticas; a circulação, troca e apropriação artísticas transnacionais (considerando referências canónicas e não canónicas do modernismo); as ideias sobre arte moderna que estiveram na base do imaginário primitivista e as obras de arte modernistas que lhe estão associadas.
Data de fim: 31 Agosto 2022 (prolongamento de um ano)

The PIM project started on September 1st 2018. Its aim is to analise the manifold and contradictory manifestations of primitivism in modern art and visual culture in the Iberian countries considering both their protagonism in the anti-illusionistic quest of modern art, and the means by which this “primitivist fantasy” incorporated preconceptions of race, gender and class, either confirming or transforming them.
The investigation comprises: the ties Spain and Portugal kept with their imperial past; the promotion of nationalist and folk aesthetics by conservative state cultural policies, and the avant-garde manifestations that opposed them; local, material and everyday life worlds of reference; nationalist ideologies and other political determinants; transnational artistic circulations; main ideas about modern art in the production of primitivist imagery, and the modernist artworks associated with it.
End date: 31 August 2022 (delayed one year)

IHA is the leading Art History R&D unit in Portugal, as evidenced by the number of researchers, collaborators and
PhD students, and by the quality and growth of all its productivity and internationalization parameters since 2007.
Its distinctive marks are:
1) To consider Art History as a core field in Humanities that studies art objects, images, and their symbolic values,
in a broad chronological spectrum. This approach is grounded in a historical perspective that takes philosophical,
sociological and semiotic debates into consideration, as well as the specificity of Heritage and Museology studies. IHA
is actively committed to the construction of a new Art History, overcoming still prevailing Eurocentric narratives and
auratic perspectives. Portuguese art history is particularly suited to this undertaking, given the contrast between its
peripheral geographical and historical conditions - able to produce many examples of an active resistance to central
artistic models -, and its colonial past. These put Portugal in a crossroad of influences and in a position to elaborate
artistic and architectural alternatives whose importance is yet to be fully recognized.
2) To maintain a flexible and democratic research structure that enhances the autonomy of its Research Groups.
These groups run projects in their specific areas of research (Antiquity, Medieval and Early Modern Art, Lisbon Studies,
Contemporary Art, Museum Studies and Theory, historiography and criticism). IHA's Scientific Committee regularly
discusses these projects in order to articulate them within IHA's Thematic Lines: "The Exhibition: theory and practices"
and "Cultural transfers in a global perspective.
3) To articulate basic and applied research through close cooperation with Portuguese museums, heritage sites,
urban regenerating intervenors, and those surveying the impact of cultural consumption and the growth of tourism in
contemporary societies. This has been supported by IHA?s research projects through partnerships with public sector
institutions, as well as private institutions (such as Fundação Gulbenkian) for whom art historical research is key for
the study of their materials, archives, collections, documentation, or education and dissemination strategies.
These partnerships also encompass smaller research initiatives involving PhD, MA and BA students (through
internships). Further, IHA participates in several FCSH PhD programs (Art History, Urban studies, Art Studies), and
collaborates with PhD programs from FCT/NOVA and Univ. Porto.
4) IHA's international links include its full RIHA membership (IHA is also editor of RIHA Journal in Portugal), other
networks and solid relations with foreign universities. Also, IHA hosts an increasing number of foreign researchers
developing their PhD and postdoc projects in Portugal.
5) IHA publishes Revista de História da Arte (a double blind peer review journal), PhD and MA theses, and online
edited conference proceedings (RHA W series).
