本文尝试检视作为民国初年革命党人主要喉舌的《民立报》对于武昌起义以及之后的重大新闻事件暗杀宋教仁案的视觉处理，探讨他们如何认识照片、尤其是肖像照片在新闻报导与政治宣传中的作用与使用方式。报人与革命党人的身份的重合，使得他们对于照片的使用达到了某种空前的水准，也令新闻与宣传的边界受到挑战，这在“刺宋案”中体现得尤为明显。

Jeremy Melius, Tufts University, will give a lecture that revisits the relationship between the Victorian critic John Ruskin and his disciple and translator Marcel Proust in order to rethink key aspects of Ruskin’s investment in the durational intensity of works of art.
In a volume dedicated to the Wars of the Roses, historian Colin Richmond opens his essay on the visual arts with the delightfully cavalier dismissal: “the badness of English art, as well as the Englishness of English art, in the fifteenth century is a theme, a text rather than a sub-text of my contribution.” Historians of medieval art will be familiar with this attitude, one that has relegated England to the periphery of our field. Yet aesthetic dissatisfaction accounts only partially for this neglect.
Please join us on Wednesday 18 October at 4:30pm in CWAC 156, for the second meeting of the Research in Art and Visual Evidence (RAVE) workshop for the 2017-2018 academic year.
