Moving away from the prevalent focus on affective\, persuasive\, and imme rsive images\, this project foregrounds the temporal instability\, semanti c ambiguity\, and ontological self-reflexivity of images. Starting from th e gaze as a mediator between image and viewer\, between activity and passi vity\, between power and weakness\, the project proposes to intertwine a p raxeology of showing with a praxeology of viewing. This radically new appr oach brings together perspectives from Visual Studies and cultural history and applies them to Roman imagery from the 2nd century BC to the 4th ce ntury AD. On the basis of archaeological and written evidence from this pe riod\, ‘fragility’ is explored as a pictorial quality.\\r\\nIn collabo ration with eikones - Institute for the Theory and History of the Image - this workshop situates these concepts within a broader framework.

The ERC project FRAGILE IMAGES (Grant no. 101141247) invites to challenge the dominant notion of understanding imagesas powerful actors . Moving away from the prevalent focus on affective\, persuasive\, and im mersive images\, this project foregrounds the temporal instability\, seman tic ambiguity\, and ontological self-reflexivity of images. Starting from the gaze as a mediator between image and viewer\, between activity and pas sivity\, between power and weakness\, the project proposes to intertwine a praxeology of showing with a praxeology of viewing. This radically new ap proach brings together perspectives from Visual Studies and cultural histo ry and applies them to Roman imagery from the 2nd \;century BC to the 4th \;century AD. On the basis of archaeological and written evidence from this period\, ‘fragility’ is explored as a pictorial quality.

In collaboration with eikones - Institute for the Theory and History of the Image - this workshop situates these concepts within a broader fram ework. In three days\, we will test\, refine\, and expand the potential of “fragility” as an image-theoretical concept by deliberately juxtaposi ng contributions on Roman imagery with studies focusing on other historica l periods\, geographical areas\, and disciplinary backgrounds. A detailed program will follow. \;
