Lisa Pon’s Bookshelf<\/strong> (photograph \u00a9 Lisa Pon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am packing my books\u2014yes, I am. They have come off various shelves, and unlike the dwelling of books Walter Benjamin built, or the volumes already chosen and boxed for sabbatical recently featured here<\/a>, this bookshelf is indeed still \u201copen.\u201d The books are not yet<\/em> in the box, as I ponder what I most would like to read \u2014and to carry!\u2014during the travels that began with the summer. Some candidates (the bottom four horizontal ones) come from the just-concluded inaugural \u201cRASC\/a Double\u201d graduate seminar<\/a> I co-taught\u2014and all are ones I\u2019d like to continue to peruse. There are a couple of novels on top, to celebrate the end of semester. And upright at the right are some books to feed my current writing projects that, like the others, explore issues of visibility, identity, and mobility.<\/p>\n

Lisa Pon<\/strong>, a specialist in early-sixteenth-century Italian art, architecture, and material culture, is currently professor of art history at Southern Methodist University (SMU). Her research and teaching focus on the mobilities of art and its viewers, the authority of the artist, and the work of art as religious image. She is the author of Raphael, D\u00fcrer, and Marcantonio Raimondi: Copying and the Italian Renaissance Print<\/em> (New Haven: Yale, 2004) and Printed Icon: Forl\u00ec\u2019s Madonna of the Fire<\/em> (New York: Cambridge, 2015), and co-edited, with Craig Kallendorf, The Books of Venice\/Il Libro Veneziano<\/em> (Venice, Italy: Tal\u00eca Editrice, 2008). Her articles have appeared in journals including The Art Bulletin<\/em>, Art History<\/em>, Medical Humanities<\/em>, Word & Image<\/em>, and Acta Acustica<\/em>. She is working on two book projects, one on collaboration in the Renaissance and the other on contagion in early modern Venice. In spring 2016, Pon co-taught the seminar \u201cPrint, Identity, and the Im\/Material Image\u201d with her colleague at SMU, Beatriz Balanta. This innovative class explored issues raised by their department\u2019s curricular initiative, Rhetorics of Art, Space, and Culture (RASC\/a)<\/a>. RASC\/a challenges us to consider how visual images, material objects, and the spaces around them can be studied from new perspectives within and beyond categories often first defined by geography and chronology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
