The Nature-culture continuum through moving images: from Pauline Julier’s Vegetable Pompeii to Pliny the Elder’s Naturalis Historiae
It is not scientific ingenuity that discovers Nature, but on the contrary it is the changing Nature that makes scientific research possible.

| description | It is not scientific ingenuity that discovers Nature, but on the contrary it is the changing Nature that makes scientific research possible. And this is the way in which we are disposing of objects bringing us to some sacred significance. In order to analyze the posthuman condition in a novel way, i.e., by way of research methodology, it would be desirable to approach artistic images such as Julier's through the recent scholarship of Durafour and his idea of “econology”: images as “beings-in-between”, making the link between human and non-human nature. I hope to demonstrate how we, from our human position, should face and reconnect the inhuman part of images. |
