Si svolgerà in forma
mista on line e dal vivo la
conferenza What Does Animation Mean in the Middle Ages? Theorethical and
Historical Approaches, che si terrà a Bialystok, in Polonia, dal 16 al 19
settembre con la partecipazione di studiosi internazionali, tra cui un gruppo
di ricerca italiano coordinato da Carla Maria Bino, studiosa di teatro e
performing arts presso l’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
Nata da una collaborazione
internazionale tra l’Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica di Varsavia e la
norvegese Università di Bergen, la conferenza, a cura di Kamil Kopania e
Henning Laugerud, ha come
tema principale la questione dell’animazione nell’arte medievale in rapporto ad
alcuni aspetti spesso sottovalutati nello studio della cultura visuale del
tempo, relativi ad esempio all’agency o alla materialità degli oggetti.

modalità on line tramite Microsoft Teams, scrivere al seguente

“HOW I UNLEASHED THE END ...”
“How
to Unleash the End ...” is a stop-motion animation with live music performed by
third-year students of The National Academy of Dramatic Art Branch Campus in
Białystok. A short story revealing one of the possible scenarios of the end of
the world. An attempt to answer such questions as What (or who) is death? What
would make the world cease to exist? The answer to these puzzling questions
will be given in a light, humorous and poetic way.
