Ryan Eisenman

 

Présentation

Ryan Eisenman is a PhD Candidate specializing in the visual and material culture of the European Middle Ages. His research focuses on histories of metalwork and mining, artistic labor and knowledge, the role of art in power formation, and the relationship of modernity to the Middle Ages. His dissertation in progress, “Opera et Labora: The Limoges Champlevé Enamel Industry, 1100-1400,” examines the overlapping networks supporting the serial production and widespread consumption of Limoges champlevé enamels. To make sense of such networks, which cut across social divisions, involved multiple systems of power, and anticipate modern processes of market exchange, Ryan traces the transmission of technical skills, the extraction and movement of raw materials, and the commission and consumption of finished commodities. He furthermore situates Limoges enamels in premodern environmental and economic histories. Ryan maintains an active research interest in histories of sexuality and gender and the application of contemporary queer theory to medieval art history, especially in twelfth- and thirteenth-century France.
