"From the outset, we see, in the dialectic of the eye and the gaze, that there is no coincidence, but, on the contrary, a lure. When in love I solicite a look , what is profoundly unsatisfying and always missing is that --You never look at me from the place from which I see you." --Lacan |  |

| Assistant
Professor 18th Century and Romanticism Ron Broglio's research focuses on how philosophy and aesthetics can help us rethink the relationship between humans and the environment. His book Technologies of the Picturesque: British Art, Poetry, and Instruments 1750-1830 covers technology in the British landscape aesthetic. He is finalizing a second book on animals in contemporary art called On the Surface and is contracted to write Eagle for Reaktion Books' Animal Series. Meanwhile, he is making a documentary about contemporary animal artists and is commissioned to create an art instillation on meat and dairy cattle. Broglio continues publishing on the visionary poet William Blake and writes occasional essays on digital humanities. He has received fellowships at the Huntington Library and Yale Center for British Art. He is associate editor of Romantic Circles and book review editor of Configurations. Broglio's essays appear in Journal of Visual Culture, New Formations, The Wordsworth Circle, Praxis, TEXT Technology, AI and Society, and Visible Language among others. |
