RITORNO A VENEZIA Authors: Magalhães Rocha, João; Ferrari, Marco Editors: Magalhães Rocha, Ferrari, Marco João Abstract: Over the course of almost two centuries of life, photogra- phy has undergone a progressive transformation of its disciplinary status. In this period of time it has acquired a predominant role in visual communication, but it has also significantly contributed to the development of an active dialogue between what in Italian are the terms rile-vazione and rivelazione, namely detection and revelation, between presenting the world as it is and suggesting to us the many ways in which it wants to, or can, be. Antonio Beato. Return to Venice is also, necessarily, immersed in this dialectic.The book traces Antonio Beato's photographic journey, beginning with his and his brother Felice's encounter with their future brother-in-law the British photographer and engraver James Robertson in Constantinople in the early 1850s. There is no definitive certainty about the origins of the Beato brothers, Antonio and Felice, but were probably born between 1832-35 either in Venice or in a territory that was once under the rule of the Serenissima, such as Corfu. Almost two hundred years have passed since their birth, and more than forty years since the first exhibition dedicated to them which took place at the Ikona Photo Gallery in Venice in 1983. The research that has led to the present book/catalogue began in 2021 when a significant group of photographs by Antonio Beato was rediscovered within two Albums from the archives of the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia. These photographs form the core of the exhibition, which benefits from loans from other fourteen different national and international institutions with the aim to provide a broader historical overview. The offers also essays from renown historians such as Nassar Rabbat, Angelo Maggi, Cristina da Roit and Emanuele Ciampini. 2025-10-13T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/39042 Title: Digital Humanities and Physics Applied to the Study of Cultural Heritage Objects: The Case of Ex-votos Authors: Dores, Marcus Editors: Ioannides, Marinos; Issini, Giovanni; Oliveira, Daniel Abstract: Several humanities research increasingly assumed the usage of computational technologies in different stages of their work. In this sense, these types of tools could generate theoretical, methodological and institutional issues that should be discussed. The aim of this paper is to present some initial reflections on the use of computer technologies in research in the field of Philology, more precisely with ex-votos (Latin ex-voto suscepto ‘the vow/promise made’) from the 18th and 19th centuries. Using certain technologies, it is possible to access the deepest layers – those that are not visible to the naked eye – of documentar sources and thus produce a more complete edition that is more faithful to the original. The work of Paixão de Souza [1, 2] is used as a theoretical point of view. 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/38267 Title: "Porquê Çafim?

Consideramos que esse material se trata de um texto multimodal elaborado pela junção de texto verbal (a legenda) com texto não-verbal (a pintura), ou seja, que é composto por, pelo menos, duas formas de comunicação. As imagens pintadas, juntamente com os textos das legendas, trabalham de forma complementar no processo de construção da narrativa ex-votiva para deixar a mensagem ali registrada mais clara, persuasiva e memorável para o público, sobretudo nos ambientes de peregrinação religiosa. De maneira geral, o esquema da narratividade dos ex-votos – um aspecto bastante fixo – inclui o linguístico e o não linguístico e é dividido em três momentos sequenciais: o fato, o que a pessoa fez e a ação divina. Há uma finalidade comunicativa que se repete em todos os ex-votos e ela é mobilizada por uma evocação, que é o fato social/religioso a ser registrado em agradecimento e como forma de testemunho para a comunidade. Diante de um conjunto de ex-votos de um sítio religioso, é possível perceber que cada um deles, une a repetição (parcial) do já dito, já lido, já ouvido com a atualização, a novidade da situação individual de cada fiel. 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z
