Facing Narratives: Tales of the Visage across Cultures
Stemming from ERC Project FACETS (Face Aesthetics in Contemporary E-Technological Societies), led by FRIAS 2020/21 Senior Fellow Massimo LEONE, the symposium revolves on how the human face acquires specific cultural meaning in narratives, in literature, through visual means, and in present-day digital simulacra. The visage is the most important communicative interface of the human species; many of its features are determined by natural evolution. Yet, cultures constantly inflect the biological functioning of the face, along patterns of meaning that societies disseminate through narrativity and story-telling. Understanding the role of the face in narrative cultures is the main objective of the symposium.
