Aristocracy and art collections: Count Ján Pálffy and his manor in Pezinok

Aristokracia a umelecké zbierky: Gróf Ján Pálffy a jeho kaštieľ v Pezinku

Duration: 1.1.2024 - 31.12.2027
Program: VEGA
Project leader: doc. PhDr. Ciulisová Ingrid DrSc.
Annotation:The project focuses on one of the most significant Central-European art collectors of the nineteenth century, Count János Pálffy (1829-1908). János Pálffy came from an old Hungarian aristocratic family that gained prominence under Habsburg rule. In response to the changes following 1848, such as growing nationalism and the increasing political power of the bourgeoisie and intelligentsia, Pálffy sought to revive the aristocratic traditions of his family. His efforts included the art collections Páffy amassed and displayed in his primary residencies in Vienna, Bratislava, Kráľová, Bojnice and Pezinok. He also instructed his heirs to maintain these collections as public museums. One exception was the manor in Pezinok. This interdisciplinary project aims to explore the history of this exceptional property, its significance to the owner, the collections housed there, and the economic background of its possessor for the first time.

Distopian narrative in film

Dystopický naratív vo filme

Duration: 1.1.2024 - 31.12.2026
Program: VEGA
Project leader: doc. Mgr. Palúch Martin PhD.
Annotation:The aim of the project is to identify films with a dystopian vision and delineate their typological characteristics. Such themes appear throughout the history of film, but we will be particularly interested in current contexts and reflections on environmental stresses, ecological disasters or climate change, the development of artificial intelligence, post-human technologies, social ruptures and the prediction of the extinction of civilization and the natural environment of animal species. Given global trends and the advanced stage of climate change, the dystopian narrative is increasingly the focus of filmmakers, the content of film genres and television series. Art film actively reflects these phenomena at different levels of representation and approaches to the chosen themes, increased levels of dystopian narratives appear not only in documentaries, but also in feature and animated films.

At the Castle and underneath

Na hrade a v podhradí

Duration: 1.7.2023 - 30.6.2027
Program: SRDA
Project leader: doc. Mgr., Mgr. Art. Hodásová Barbara PhD.
Annotation:The project "At the Castle and underneath" represents an attempt by historians and art historians to construct, in a mutual interdisciplinary dialogue, a contemporary viewer's perception of a particular work of art, or rather a broader environment, created within the space of the imperial court residence at Bratislava Castle between 1536 and 1780. The ambition of the research team members from the ranks of historians will be to interpret Bratislava Castle as a mental, communicative and mediating space between the courtly milieu and the early medieval environment of Bratislava. Furthermore, thus by creating a unique experience for a specific individual, i.e., Hungarian royal officials, representatives of the Hungarian nobility and the ecclesiastical administration of Hungary, Bratislava townspeople, and even foreigners who had access to the spaces of Bratislava Castle due to the exercise of their office or their social status. On the part of art historians, the grant aims to find and apply methodological tools, particularly the concept of actual visual studies, to formulate the reception of these exclusive works in the domestic space. Research into social elites' cultural and visual experiences is particularly relevant and promising for the future. On the other hand, on the part of historians, modern archaeological, prosopographical and genealogical research has great potential, especially in studying officials and official families engaged within the early modern Kingdom of Hungary. Thus, the main tasks of the research team will be to identify the structured and multiple visual messages that specific works of art, or the wider environment, were intended to convey to contemporary audiences. Furthermore, it describes the interaction between physical space and its visual component on the one hand and the intangible or ephemeral cultural milieu recorded by textual or visual sources on the other.

Gray normalization (?). Discourse on stereotypes in the perception of Slovak theater in the 1970s and 1980s

Sivé normalizačné (?). Diskurz o stereotypoch v nazeraní na slovenské divadlo v 70. a 80. rokoch 20. storočia

Duration: 1.1.2025 - 31.12.2027
Program: VEGA
Project leader: doc. Mgr. art. Mišovic Karol PhD.
Annotation:The project focuses on research and reflection on Slovak professional theatre at the time of the normalisation paradoxes in the 1970s and 1980s. Despite ideological constraints, there were artworks created at that time that disprove the stereotypical claims of artistic monotony. The research is based on an analytical-critical view of drama and opera through productions and creators in the given socio-political and Czechoslovak context, with creators extending beyond 1989. The research will provide an innovative perspective on previously published works based on new knowledge from different types of archives from a contemporary political-cultural perspective.

Temporality ikonológie

Duration: 1.1.2023 - 31.12.2026
Program: VEGA
Project leader: prof. PhDr. Gerát Ivan PhD.
Annotation:The project aims to map and analyze the various temporal modalities of iconology in its ideological, thematic, and historical-social contexts and concerning its perspectives as a research method developed in a lively relationship to contemporary developmental tendencies of imagery and visual culture, and fine art. The cross-cutting methodological studies primarily focus on the following issues: 1, historical time and historical memory in relation to the interpretation of visual culture (historical ruptures, past futures); 2, lived time in the creative experience of both artists and recipients of the image (processualism of creation, the organization of the viewer's time, exceptional situations and exceptional moments); 3, the representation of time in pictorial narratives (at the level of pictorial theme and historical construct); 4, anachronisms in the history of images and their interpretations; 5, the ideological horizons of iconological studies and their historical mutability.
