The École des Beaux-Arts of Casablanca was founded in 1950 by the French, during the protectorate era in Morocco (1912–1956). It has stayed open constantly since its opening, and is a municipal school, unlike the art school in Tétouan, Morocco. The first Moroccan director of the school was Maurice Arama (1960–1962), who was succeeded by Farid Belkahia (1962–1974). Under Belkahia, the school was a significant landmark in the history of Moroccan modernism. As well as a new modernist style in their personal work, members of the faculty were known for advancing a pedagogy that focused on rooting modernism in local visual culture. The school turned away from the inherited French model of easel paintings and still-lifes, instead highlighting Moroccan visual culture and architecture. Faculty taught students in multiple media, including painting, sculpture, and ceramics, as well as in graphic design. Each year, for a final project, the students would work together on an urban space that would stay open for three months for public visits. For example, in the final year project for 1968, rather than a typical art school showcase, as the faculty described it, the students were asked to treat the architecture of the gallery in such a way as to highlight the broader materials, plasticity, and space of the gallery itself, trying to integrate and synthetize arts of multiple disciplines and techniques.

A klasszikus retorika öt nagy területe közül az inventio foglalkozik az érveléssel, azon belül az enthümémával, míg a kutatók többsége a trópusokat (pl. metafora) az elocutio-ba helyezi. A 21. századi retorika kevésbé szegmentáltan kezeli az érvelő és díszítő funkciókat. Jelen tanulmány az enthüméma és a metafora együttes előfordulását vizsgálja a modern vizuális kultúra képi artefaktumaiban. Az érvelés és stílus, tartalom és forma, forma és gondolati műveletek szorosan összefonódnak a 21. századi vizuális kultúrában. A stílus nemcsak formaként, hanem a kognitív műveletek alakítójaként is funkcionálhat. Az ékesség és szemléletesség eszközei, a trópusok pragmatikai-szemantikai alapokon nyugszanak. Az a tény, hogy a képi enthümémákat gyakran képi metaforák kísérik, megerősíteni látszik ezt a feltevést. Az enthümémát és a metaforát kognitív megközelítésben vizsgálva vetjük fel annak elméleti lehetőségét, hogy a felszíni struktúrákon túl a mélyebb kognitív szinteken összefügg a vizuális enthüméma és a vizuális metafora. Among the five major areas of classical rhetoric, inventio deals with reasoning, including enthymemes, while majority of researchers put tropes (eg. metaphors) into elocutio. The 21st century rhetoric, however, treats reasoning and decorating functions in a less segmented way. The present study examines the coexistence of enthymemes and metaphors in the pictorial artifacts of modern visual culture. Arguments and style, content and form, form and thought mechanisms are closely intertwined within the visual culture of the 21st century. Style may function not only as a form, but also as a shaper of cognitive operations. Tools of eloquence and expressiveness, namely the tropes are based on a pragmatic-semantic principle. The fact that pictorial enthymemes are often accompanied by pictorial metaphors seems to confirm this assumption. By examining enthymemes and metaphors with a cognitive approach, we raise the theoretical possibility that beyond surface structures, deeper cognitive levels are associated with visual enthymemes and visual metaphors.

Abstract This article addresses popular claims that photography has been “dematerialized” in the digital era. It engages a wide range of critical writings about photography from the early 19th to the 21st century to demonstrate that different versions of these claims have always formed an important part of photography criticism. However, rather than doing justice to photographs’ materiality or their complex entanglements with what has been considered material and immaterial, human and nonhuman, they have tended to somewhat limit our understanding of the medium’s material, sensory, and affective valences. This article argues that a sustained engagement between visual culture studies, sensory studies, and the new materialisms can help us understand more fully both analog and digital photography’s contingent position within the material world, varying sensory ideologies, and different subjectivities.
