Book Synopsis The Agency of Things in Medieval and Early Modern Art by : Grażyna Jurkowlaniec
Download or read book The Agency of Things in Medieval and Early Modern Art written by Grażyna Jurkowlaniec and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the late medieval and early modern periods from the perspective of objects. While the agency of things has been studied in anthropology and archaeology, it is an innovative approach for art historical investigations. Each contributor takes as a point of departure active things: objects that were collected, exchanged, held in hand, carried on a body, assembled, cared for or pawned. Through a series of case studies set in various geographic locations, this volume examines a rich variety of systems throughout Europe and beyond.

Book Synopsis Authorities in the Middle Ages by : Sini Kangas
Download or read book Authorities in the Middle Ages written by Sini Kangas and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medievalists reading and writing about and around authority-related themes lack clear definitions of its actual meanings in the medieval context. Authorities in the Middle Ages offers answers to this thorny issue through specialized investigations. This book considers the concept of authority and explores the various practices of creating authority in medieval society. In their studies sixteen scholars investigate the definition, formation, establishment, maintenance, and collapse of what we understand in terms of medieval struggles for authority, influence and power. The interdisciplinary nature of this volume resonates with the multi-faceted field of medieval culture, its social structures, and forms of communication. The fields of expertise include history, legal studies, theology, philosophy, politics, literature and art history. The scope of inquiry extends from late antiquity to the mid-fifteenth century, from the Church Fathers debating with pagans to the rapacious ghosts ruining the life of the living in the Sagas. There is a special emphasis on such exciting but understudied areas as the Balkans, Iceland and the eastern fringes of Scandinavia.

Book Synopsis Discourses of Purity in Transcultural Perspective (300–1600) by :
Download or read book Discourses of Purity in Transcultural Perspective (300–1600) written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While comparative studies on purity and impurity presented in the last decades have mostly concentrated on the ancient world or on modern developments, this volume focusses the hitherto comparatively neglected period between ca. 300 and 1600 c. E. The collection is innovative because it not only combines papers on both European and Asian cultures but also considers a wide variety of religions and confessions. The articles are written by leading experts in the field and are presented in six systematic sections. This analytical categorization facilitates understanding the functional spectrum that the binomial purity and impurity could cover in past societies. The volume thus presents an in-depth comparative analysis of a category of paramount importance for interfaith relations and processes of transfer. Contributors are: Aziz al-Azmeh, Matthias Bley, Sven Bretfeld, Miriam Czock, Licia Di Giacinto, Hans-Werner Goetz, Elisabeth Hollender, Nikolas Jaspert, Stefan Köck, Stefan Leder, Hanna Liss, Christopher MacEvitt, Hermann-Josef Röllicke, Paolo Santangelo, and Ephraim Shoham-Steiner.
Book Synopsis Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia by :
Download or read book Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 1121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia, twenty-three international authors examine Galicia’s changing place in Iberia, Europe, and the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds from late antiquity through the thirteenth century. With articles on art and architecture; religion and the church; law and society; politics and historiography; language and literature; and learning and textual culture, the authors introduce medieval Galicia and current research on the region to medievalists, Hispanists, and students of regional culture and society. The cult of St. James, Santiago Cathedral, and the pilgrimage to Compostela are highlighted and contextualized to show how Galicia’s remoteness became the basis for a paradoxical centrality in medieval art, culture, and religion. Contributors are Jeffrey A. Bowman, Manuel Castiñeiras, James D'Emilio, Thomas Deswarte, Pablo C. Díaz, Emma Falque, Amélia P. Hutchinson, Amancio Isla, Henrik Karge, Melissa R. Katz, Michael Kulikowski, Fernando López Sánchez, Luis R. Menéndez Bueyes, William D. Paden, Francisco Javier Pérez Rodríguez, Ermelindo Portela, Rocío Sánchez Ameijeiras, Adeline Rucquoi, Ana Suárez González, Purificación Ubric, Ramón Villares, John Williams †, and Roger Wright.
Book Synopsis The Cultural Power of Medieval Monarchy by : Manuel Alejandro Rodríguez de la Peña
Download or read book The Cultural Power of Medieval Monarchy written by Manuel Alejandro Rodríguez de la Peña and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on why the diffusion of the political theology of royal wisdom created “Solomonic” princes with intellectual interests all around the medieval West and how these learned rulers changed the face of Western Europe through their policies and the cultural power of medieval monarchy. Princely wisdom narratives have been seen simply as a tool of royal propaganda in the Middle Ages but these narratives were much more than propaganda, being rather a coherent ideology which transformed princely courts, shaped mentalities, and influenced key political decisions. This cultural power of medieval monarchy was channelled mainly through princely patronage of learning and the arts, but the rise of administrative monarchy and its bureaucracy are equally related to these policies. This can only be understood through a cultural approach to the history of medieval politics, that is, a history of the relationship between knowledge and power in the Middle Ages, a topic much analyzed regarding the medieval church but sometimes neglected in the princely sphere. This volume is a study that supplies an important comparative study of the reception in princely courts of a key aspect of European medieval civilization: The ideal of Christian sapiential rulership and its corollary, rationality in government. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars interested in understanding the medieval roots of the cultural process which gave rise to the modern state.

Book Synopsis Conflict and Collaboration in Medieval Iberia by : Kim Bergqvist
Download or read book Conflict and Collaboration in Medieval Iberia written by Kim Bergqvist and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of conflict in medieval history and related disciplines have recently come to focus on wars, feuds, rebellions, and other violent matters. While those issues are present here, to form a backdrop, this volume brings other forms of conflict in this period to the fore. With these assembled essays on conflict and collaboration in the Iberian Peninsula, it provides an insight into key aspects of the historical experience of the Iberian kingdoms during the Middle Ages. Ranging in focus from the fall of the Visigothic kingdom and the arrival of significant numbers of Berber settlers to the functioning of the Spanish Inquisition right at the end of the Middle Ages, the articles gathered here look both at cross-ethnic and interreligious meetings in hostility or fruitful cohabitation. The book does not, however, forget intra-communal relations, and consideration is given to the mechanisms within religious and ethnic groupings by which conflict was channeled and, occasionally, collaboration could ensue.

Book Synopsis East Meets West in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times by : Albrecht Classen
Download or read book East Meets West in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Times written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new volume explores the surprisingly intense and complex relationships between East and West during the Middle Ages and the early modern world, combining a large number of critical studies representing such diverse fields as literary (German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, and Arabic) and other subdisciplines of history, religion, anthropology, and linguistics. The differences between Islam and Christianity erected strong barriers separating two global cultures, but, as this volume indicates, despite many attempts to 'Other' the opposing side, the premodern world experienced an astonishing degree of contacts, meetings, exchanges, and influences. Scientists, travelers, authors, medical researchers, chroniclers, diplomats, and merchants criss-crossed the East and the West, or studied the sources produced by the other culture for many different reasons. As much as the theoretical concept of 'Orientalism' has been useful in sensitizing us to the fundamental tensions and conflicts separating both worlds at least since the eighteenth century, the premodern world did not quite yet operate in such an ideological framework. Even though the Crusades had violently pitted Christians against Muslims, there were countless contacts and a palpitable curiosity on both sides both before, during, and after those religious warfares.
Book Synopsis Monnaies du haut Moyen Âge by : Philippe Sénac
Download or read book Monnaies du haut Moyen Âge written by Philippe Sénac and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cet ouvrage regroupe les communications présentées à l'occasion du 5' colloque de la série " Villa " consacrée depuis 2004 à la Marche Supérieure d'al-Andalus et, dans une perspective plus large, à l'Occident méditerranéen du haut Moyen Âge. Pour cette nouvelle rencontre associant historiens des textes et archéologues, l'accent a été mis sur les données numismatiques et les découvertes monétaires en péninsule Ibérique et au Maghreb. Organisée à la Casa de Velàzquez à Madrid, en février 2014. avec l'appui de plusieurs laboratoires de recherches, la réunion a permis d'éclairer l'importance des informations fournies par les monnaies à l'égard de la conquête et des premiers temps de la présence musulmane dans l'Occident méditerranéen, sous la forme de dinars, de dirhams ou de fulüs antérieurs au XIe siècle. Complétée par de riches comparaisons avec les monnayages de l'époque wisigothique et de la Sicile byzantine. L'ensemble proposé constitue une somme de connaissances précieuse pour quiconque s'intéresse à l'histoire politique et économique avant l'an mil aux portes de l'Occident chrétien."--P. [4] of cover.
Book Synopsis Desde la Tarraconense hasta la Marca Superior de al-Andalus (siglos IV-XI) by : Philippe Sénac
Download or read book Desde la Tarraconense hasta la Marca Superior de al-Andalus (siglos IV-XI) written by Philippe Sénac and published by Editions Médiriennes. This book was released on 2006 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage regroupe les actes d'un colloque organisé par la Casa de Velàzquez, à Madrid, au mois de mars 2004 sous le titre Desde la Tarraconense hasta Marca Superior de al-Andalus (ss. IV-XI). Il s'agit là du premier volet d'une série intitulée villa dont le champ de recherche couvre l'ensemble de la vallée de l'Ebre et la période des siècles dits obscurs. L'objectif de cette réunion visait à regrouper des universitaires et des chercheurs des deux côtés de la chaîne pyrénéenne pour éclairer la question controversée de la transition de l'Antiquité tardive au Moyen Age. Au-delà de la diversité des exemples abordés, en Navarre, en Aragon comme en Catalogne, les séances ont permis de dégager des points communs dans l'étude du peuplement rural, tel que le poids du déclin démographique des Ve-Vle siècles, l'existence d'un habitat dispersé avant l'an mil, la fréquence des sépultures taillées dans la roche et surtout, avant la grande mutation du Xe siècle, le faible rôle du château dans l'organisation de l'espace et la structuration du peuplement. Malgré les bouleversements entraînés par la conquête musulmane au début du VIIIe siècle, on retiendra surtout qu'il convient d'étudier cette période non plus en termes de fin du monde antique ou de prémices du Moyen Age mais en soi et pour soi, comme un moment particulier, depuis la crise de la villa jusqu'à l'essor de l'incastellamento.
Book Synopsis Patriotische Heilige by : Dieter R. Bauer
Download or read book Patriotische Heilige written by Dieter R. Bauer and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2007 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vom Mittelalter bis in die Neuzeit fungierten Heilige als Schlachtenhelfer, Landespatrone, Stadtheilige und allgemeine Fursprecher. Auf den ersten Blick scheint das Thema "Heiligkeit und patriotische Gesinnung" auch von der Forschung breit erschlossen zu sein. Jedoch verlieren bei konsequenter Historisierung und Kontextualisierung selbst prominente Heilige ihren zeitlosen Glanz. Dieser Sammelband geht der Frage auf den Grund, inwiefern patriotische Heilige unterschiedlicher Vergesellschaftung und historischem Wandel unterliegen und inwiefern die Intensitaten und Intentionen der Heiligenverehrung sich je nach Zeit und Rezipientenkreis unterscheiden. Von Agypten bis nach Mexiko, von der Spatantike bis ins 20. Jahrhundert wird das Wirken patriotischer Heiliger anhand von vierzehn konkreten Beispielen unter die Lupe genommen.
