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.

At the Castle and underneath
Na hrade a v podhradí
| Duration: |
1.7.2023 - 30.6.2027 |
| Program: |
SRDA |
| Project leader: |
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.

Poetics of absurdity, nonsense and paradox in contemporary theatre
Poetiky absurdity, nonsensu a paradoxu v súčasnom divadle
| Duration: |
1.1.2023 - 31.12.2025 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
doc. PhDr. Knopová Elena PhD. |
| Annotation: | Contemporary theatre responds to external social stimuli through the themes it raises, specific artistic means and
practices. It confronts specific moments of social development and human existence with the possibility or
impossibility of changing them or establishing a starting point (both in the stage work and in public life). The
ever-present elements of absurdity, meaninglessness and hopelessness refer to the image of a man influenced
by insurmountable forces (both outside him and within him) from which he finds no effective way out. However,
today‘s paradigm of absurdity is not the same as the previous that have brought existentialism, absurd theatre, or normalization in the former Czechoslovakia. The aim of the project is to research, characterize and compare
contemporary poetics of absurdity: 1. in relation to the transformations of the theatrical paradigm (before and after the so-called performative turn); 2. in relation to the transformations of the paradigm (political, war, pandemic, climate etc.). |

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. |

Visual Sources on the History of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th Century
Vizuálne pramene k dejinám Uhorského kráľovstva v 16. storočí
| Duration: |
1.1.2022 - 31.12.2025 |
| Program: |
VEGA |
| Project leader: |
Mgr. Kucharská Veronika PhD. |
| Annotation: | The presented project aims to research visual sources related to the history of the Kingdom of Hungary in the 16th century. The project will focus on sources for significant events in our history in this period, which can be described as a turning point in several aspects: the year 1526 with the Battle of Mohács, referred to as the end of the Middle Ages and early modern age, the struggle for the Hungarian royal crown between two Hungarian kings, the occupation of the Central European area by the Ottomans and the resulting mutual confrontation and interactions of Christian and Muslim power and culture. We will look at these and other important historical events through the visual production of domestic artists of the (Central) European area and the view of the then enemy of the Kingdom of Hungary through sets of Ottoman miniatures. Thanks to the chosen approach and methodology of visual history, the used views of known events can be illuminated from several sides, thus offering an extension and updating of interpretive possibilities. The project intends to provide a more comprehensive and plastic historical-cultural view of this period in the form of a scientific monograph accessible to a broader range of readers. |
