Description:

Academic research has devoted relatively little attention to the means of image production, its epistemological meaning, and relationship to culture in general. Although the visual turn of recent years has brought new methodological perspectives, the understanding of images remains limited and is often considered only as a communicative resource to illustrate results, but not as part of the development of a “materialised epistemology” that integrates sensitive knowledge with scientific knowledge and allows for the generation of a different historiography.

Science historian Norton Wise argues that traditional dichotomies that tend to separate art from science, museums from laboratories, and geometric from algebraic methods have impoverished understanding of visualisation processes.

The seminar will use an interdisciplinary vocation to explore other ways of understanding images and their use in research.
