Synopsis
In several occasions, the Udine Conference has focused on the problematization of the notion of the "author" and on a re-definition of the notion of "style. In this perspective, it is indeed possible to articulate models aimed at understanding authorial poetics as the momentary unification of features that exceed them. On another level, genres as well could be simply seen as spaces in which elements of the same kind aggregate. One of the aims of this project is the creation of a new "topography" of the basic stylistic elements that, while common to both authors and styles, can also find independent and diverse modes of connection. These levels of aggregation (styles, genres, authors) are not separated; rather, they mutually intersect, integrate each other, and coexist. According to Etienne Souriau, it could be possible to establish a "science of forms" taking into account different arts. Our team of scholars launches the project of a history of cinema without names, in a similar way as Wolfflin imagined a history of art without names, or Valery aspired to write a history of literature without names.
