How can we think about nothingness within the excess we usually associate with the Baroque? Revisiting a common operation of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, this lecture proposes a d\u00e9tour through torsion to approach what hides before our eyes \u2014 in anamorphosis \u2014 in the ingenious works of that period. As Monteverdi wrote, \u201cthere is another point of view to consider,\u201d and the Baroque allegorical strategy reveals that everything is always something else. Rather than superficial decoration, the Baroque is approached as a worldview \u2014 a way of perceiving and positioning oneself in the theatre of the world \u2014 marked by tensions between bodily seduction and spiritual persuasion, sensuality and transcendence, revelry and lament, and between attention to fleeting reality and the desire for the infinite. Might this Baroque rhetoric, in its refusal of classical order and serenity, help us comment on the present?<\/p>\n
