These are all-too-familiar, historic images, but the veil of illusion has been torn off to reveal them reborn as something is new. It's like seeing an old friend smile in a way that you have never seen before, a peculiar fusion of déjà vu and a totally fresh sensibility. The brain is stimulated, perception is sharpened. A powerful seduction draws our gaze into a fascinating world of images we’ve never seen before.
For Reversed Renaissance, Pignatelli has selected masterpieces of Renaissance art. All incorporate established motifs: the Annunciation, the Virgin and Child, the Last Supper. All address religious themes, have been renowned for centuries, and have been scrutinized by innumerable eyes. What they also share is the cumulative grime of interpretation, amassed through the passage of time.
The reputations of these and so many other historic paintings are now so firmly established that they seem unshakeable. Encountering their world, we find ourselves imprisoned by conventional thinking. Struggle as we might to free our senses and sensibilities, we are slaves to an academicism that has tacitly imposed its seal of approval, its received interpretation. Today, shackled by information and knowledge, we find it difficult indeed to free ourselves from conventional concepts in viewing our artistic heritage. Is the act of gazing at those images with brand new eyes enough to restore the purity of our vision?
The Mona Lisa is Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting. Famous for the riddles that surround it, it offers plenty to stimulate our imaginations. Was there an actual model? Who was she? What was her relationship to the artist? Why is she smiling so enigmatically? What is the real meaning of that smile?

Immagini come queste sono storiche e fin troppo familiari, ma qualcuno ne ha sollevato il velo dell’illusione per mostrarle rinate, come qualcosa di nuovo. È come notare un vecchio amico sorridere in un modo che non conoscevamo; un intreccio originale fra il déjà vu e un’emozione pura. Stimola il cervello, affila la percezione. Sedotto da questo potere, il nostro sguardo è trascinato in un affascinante mondo di immagini mai viste prima.
Per Reversed Renaissance, Pignatelli ha scelto i capolavori dell’arte rinascimentale, e le sue icone più celebri: l’Annunciazione, la Madonna col Bambino, l’Ultima Cena. Sono opere d’argomento religioso, rinomate da secoli, tutte già scrutate da infinite paia di occhi. Ma ad unirle c’è anche un cumulo di sporcizia: la polvere dell’interpretazione, accumulatasi col passare del tempo.
La reputazione di queste e tante altre pitture storiche è ormai così affermata da sembrare intoccabile. Avvicinandoci a loro, il nostro pensiero si ritrova imprigionato nelle convenzioni. Per quanto lottiamo per liberare i nostri sensi e la nostra sensibilità, rimaniamo schiavi di un accademicismo che ha tacitamente imposto il suo sigillo d’approvazione, la sua lettura istituzionale. Oggi, incatenati come siamo all’informazione e alla conoscenza, paradossalmente è difficile per noi guardare al nostro patrimonio artistico in modo libero dalle convenzioni. Basterà osservare queste immagini con occhi nuovi, per ridare purezza a ciò che vediamo?
Monna Lisa è il dipinto più conosciuto di Leonardo da Vinci. Famoso per i quesiti che vi aleggiano attorno, non smette mai di stimolare la nostra immaginazione. Si trattava di una modella vera? Chi era? Che legame aveva con l’artista? Perché sorride in modo tanto enigmatico? Cosa significa davvero quel sorriso?

Psychological Antecedents of Strategic Choice
In conflict situations, negative attitudes toward the other party (Kinzel & Fisher, 1993) and seeing the other as a group member (Rothbart and Hallmark, 1988) encourage the use of contentious tactics and escalation. So, too, does dehumanization of the other party (Kelman & Hamilton, 1989). One source of dehumanization is the sense that the other party rejects values that are important to oneselvef (Robinson & Friedman, 1995; Struch & Schwartz, 1989). An extreme form of dehumanization, which often underlies escalation, involves a view of the other as demonic (Rouhana & Kelman, 1994) or as a diabolical enemy (White, 1984). Contentious tactics also become more likely when the other party is deindividuated, in the sense of not being perceived as a separate individual (Worchel & Andreoli, 1978). Deindividuation may explain why heavily escalated tactics are more likely when the other is at a physical (Milgram, 1992) or social (Ransford, 1968; Struch & Schwarz, 1989) distance from the actor.
Several studies have looked at the psychological antecedents of negative reciprocity. Negative reciprocity (e.g., respondig to criticism with criticism) is especially likely if one blames the other party rather than oneself, for the other's party behavior (Bradbury & Finchman, 1992; Mikolic, Parker, & Pruitt, 1997; Sillars, 1981). Internal, stable and global attributions about the other's behavior also encourage negative reciprocity (Bradbury & Finchman, 1992; Felson, 1982). Blame of the other and negative reciprocity arise if it appears that the other party could have foreseen the negative consequences of the behavior in question (Ferguson & Rule, 1983) or if that behavior is seen asv intentiona, selfish or nonnormative (Arnold & Carnevale, 1997; Bradbury & Finchman, 1992; Dyck & Rule, 1978; Remland, Jones, & Brown, 1994). Blame of the other also tends to arise from negative attitudes and distrust (Blumenthal et al., 1972). Happy moods encourage blame of the other, while sad moods encourage self-blame (Forgas, 1994). | Translation - Italian
Antecedenti psicologici delle scelte strategiche
In situazioni di conflitto, atteggiamenti negativi verso l’altro (Kinzel & Fisher, 1993), e la visione dell’altro come membro di un gruppo estraneo (Rothbart & Hallmark, 1998), incoraggiano l’uso di tattiche di scontro e l’escalation del conflitto stesso. Un effetto simile è prodotto anche dalla deumanizzazione dell’altro (Kelman & Hamilton, 1989). Una delle cause della deumanizzazione è l’idea che l’altro rifiuti valori che sono per noi importanti (Robinson & Friedman, 1985; Struch & Schwartz, 1989). Una forma estrema di deumanizzazione, spesso alla radice dell’escalation, è legata a una visione dell’altro come essere demoniaco (Rouhana & Kelman,1994) o come un nemico diabolico (White, 1984). Le tattiche di scontro divengono inoltre più possibili quando l’altro è deindividualizzato, vale a dire che non è più percepito come un singolo individuo (Worchel & Andreoli, 1978). La deindivindualizzazione ci può spiegare per quale ragione tattiche di escalation intensa sono più probabili quando l’altro è distante dall’attore in senso fisico (Milgram, 1992) o sociale (Ransford, 1968; Struch & Schwartz, 1989).
Diversi studi hanno indagato gli antecedenti psicologici alla reciprocità negativa. La reciprocità negativa (ad es. rispondere ad una critica con una critica) ha maggiori probabilità di realizzarsi quando si colpevolizza l’altro per il suo comportamento, più che se stessi (Bradbury & Fincham, 1992; Mikolic, Parker & Pruitt, 1997; Sillars, 1981). Anche l’attribuzione del comportamento dell’altro a caratteristiche intrinseche, generali e statiche incoraggia la reciprocità negativa (Bradbury & Fincham, 1992; Felson, 1982). La colpevolizzazione dell’altro e la reciprocità negativa crescono se ci sembra che l’altro abbia previsto le conseguenze negative dell’atteggiamento in questione (Ferguson & Rule, 1983) o se detto atteggiamento è percepito come intenzionale, egoistico, o contro le regole (Arnold & Carnevale, 1997; Bradbury & Fincham, 1992; Dyck & Rule, 1978; Remland, Jones, & Brown, 1994). La colpevolizzazione dell’altro tende anche a derivare dai comportamenti negativi e dalla diffidenza (Blumenthal et. al., 1972). Gli stati d’animo positivi dell’altro incoraggiano la colpevolizzazione, mentre quelli tristi incoraggiano l’auto-colpevolizzazione (Forgas, 1994).
