Las Colecciones y Archivos de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC) de la Facultad de Bellas de Cuenca surgen a finales del año 2012 con la pretensión de reunir bajo dicha marca al conjunto de centros, museos, colecciones y archivos que distintos profesores-investigadores pertenecientes a este centro han ido construyendo desde su creación, en 1986, hasta lograr compilar después de todos estos años unos recursos patrimoniales que tienen como marco común las prácticas artísticas desarrolladas por las vanguardias alternativas surgidas a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y comienzos del XXI.

Discourse on the State of the Jews
In 1638, a small book of no more than 92 pages in octavo was published “appresso Gioanne Calleoni” under the title “Discourse on the State of the Jews and in particular those dwelling in the illustrious city of Venice.” It was dedicated to the Doge of Venice and his counsellors, who are labelled “lovers of Truth.” The author of the book was a certain Simone (Simḥa) Luzzatto, a native of Venice, where he lived and died, serving as rabbi for over fifty years during the course of the seventeenth century. Luzzatto’s political thesis is simple and, at the same time, temerarious, if not revolutionary: Venice can put an end to its political decline, he argues, by offering the Jews a...

The Politics of Utopia
"The Scottish economist John Law has been described as the architect of modern central banking. His "System," established in Regency France between 1716 and 1720, saw the founding of a bank issuing paper money and the establishment of commercial and colonial enterprises aimed at consolidating public debt. What at first seemed like financial wizardry, however, resulted in rampant speculation and economic collapse. In this book, Arnaud Orain offers a provocative rereading of this well-known episode. Starting in the seventeenth century, he reconstructs the figures and ideas, long predating Law, that anticipated and laid the groundwork for the System, which, he argues, is best understood as a failed social utopia aimed at the total transformation of society. Overturning familiar narratives of this seismic event, this book rewrites a stunning chapter in economic history, revealing new lessons for today's fraught financial landscape"--
Surrealism in Egypt
In the thick of the Second World War, the Cairo-based Surrealist collective Art et Liberte were pioneering new art forms and mounting subversive exhibitions that sent shockwaves across local artistic circles. Born with the publication of their Manifesto Long Live Degenerate Art on December 22nd, 1938, the group rejected the convergence of art and nationalism, aligning themselves with a complex, international and evolving Surrealist movement spanning cities such as Paris, London, Mexico City, New York, Beirut and Tokyo. Art and Liberty created a distinct reworking of Surrealism, which provided a generation of disillusioned Egyptian and non-Egyptian artists and writers, men and women alike, wi...

Le Laboratoire des pollutions industrielles
Au tournant du XIXe siècle, Paris est la scène d'une industrialisation qui remet en cause les relations des hommes à leur environnement. Bousculant une société d'Ancien Régime fortement préoccupée de santé publique et de règles de bon voisinage, le développement d'activités polluantes provoque une transformation du droit et des institutions. C'est cette révolution que nous fait découvrir Thomas Le Roux.Prenant en compte l'ensemble des acteurs sociaux et politiques, l'État, la Ville, les industriels, les juristes, les scientifiques et l'opinion publique, il décrit le processus complexe qui donna aux fabriques et aux manufactures, notamment dans le secteur de la chimie, la poss...
