Book Synopsis Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages by : Lucy Donkin
Download or read book Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages written by Lucy Donkin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages illuminates how the floor surface shaped the ways in which people in medieval western Europe and beyond experienced sacred spaces. The ground beneath our feet plays a crucial, yet often overlooked, role in our relationship with the environments we inhabit and the spaces with which we interact. By focusing on this surface as a point of encounter, Lucy Donkin positions it within a series of vertically stacked layers—the earth itself, permanent and temporary floor coverings, and the bodies of the living above ground and the dead beneath—providing new perspectives on how sacred space was defined and decorated, including the veneration of holy footprints, consecration ceremonies, and the demarcation of certain places for particular activities. Using a wide array of visual and textual sources, Standing on Holy Ground in the Middle Ages also details ways in which interaction with this surface shaped people's identities, whether as individuals, office holders, or members of religious communities. Gestures such as trampling and prostration, the repeated employment of specific locations, and burial beneath particular people or actions used the surface to express likeness and difference. From pilgrimage sites in the Holy Land to cathedrals, abbeys, and local parish churches across the Latin West, Donkin frames the ground as a shared surface, both a feature of diverse, distant places and subject to a variety of uses over time—while also offering a model for understanding spatial relationships in other periods, regions, and contexts.

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.

Book Synopsis Cultural Roads and Itineraries by : Jonathan Paquette
Download or read book Cultural Roads and Itineraries written by Jonathan Paquette and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first synthetic review of the literature on cultural roads and itineraries, providing a template for developing typologies and clarity on existing research. It additionally develops a unique conceptual framework for understanding the social, political, ethical, and spatial dynamics behind cultural roads and itineraries. The book takes the discussion on cultural roads in two different directions. Firstly, by taking a step back from tourism studies, leisure studies, and heritage studies in order to further the conversation on cultural roads with a broader set of disciplines, namely those in the humanities and social sciences. Secondly, through a series of broader theoretical reflections and considerations, the book draws its focus back to the development of the cultural road and cultural itineraries with a new conceptual apparatus that can inspire new questions for research and new ideas for practice. Throughout the text, concepts, theories, principles, and practices are explored and explained through detailed case study analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maimonides Review of Philosophy and Religion is an annual collection of double-blind peer-reviewed articles that seeks to provide a broad international arena for an intellectual exchange of ideas between the disciplines of philosophy, theology, religion, cultural history, and literature and to showcase their multifarious junctures within the framework of Jewish studies.

Book Synopsis Icons of Space by : Jelena Bogdanović
Download or read book Icons of Space written by Jelena Bogdanović and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Icons of Space: Advances in Hierotopy brings together important scholars of Byzantine religion, art, and architecture, to honour the work of renowned art historian Alexei Lidov. As well as his numerous publications, Lidov is well known for developing the concept of hierotopy, an innovative approach for studying the creation of sacred spaces. Hierotopy and the related concepts of ‘spatial icons’ and ‘image-paradigms’ emphasize fundamental questions about icons, including what defines them as structures, spaces, and experiences. Chapters in this volume engage with the overarching theme of icons of space by employing, contrasting, and complementing methods of hierotopy with more traditional approaches such as iconography. Examinations of icons have traditionally been positioned within strictly historical, theological, socio-economic, political, and art history domains, but this volume poses epistemological questions about the creation of sacred spaces that are instead inclusive of multi-layered iconic ideas and the lived experiences of the creators and beholders of such spaces. This book contributes to image theory and theories of architecture and sacred space. Simultaneously, it moves beyond colonial studies that predominantly focus on questions of religion and politics as expressions of privileged knowledge and power. This book will appeal to scholars and students of Byzantine history, as well as those interested in hierotopy and art history.

Book Synopsis Mille fois à Compostelle by : Adeline Rucquoi
Download or read book Mille fois à Compostelle written by Adeline Rucquoi and published by Belles Lettres. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Medieval texts illustrate the popularity of the pilgrimage, the draw of holy places on the Christian masses. After Jerusalem and Rome, Santiago de Compostela emerged as an essential destination for medieval pilgrims seeking absolution and peace for their travel and penitence. The wealth of work done on Compostela in recent years allows us to trace the daily experiences of the men and women who followed the path to the end of Europe. French description: Le pelerinage a Compostelle, un moment-cle de la vie quotidienne au Moyen Age "Le diable est alle mille fois a Compostelle" assuraient a leurs ouailles les predicateurs parisiens du XIIIe siecle, inquiets de constater la multiplication des departs de leurs paroissiens, et desireux de les detourner de leur intention en leur montrant qu''ils pouvaient faire leur salut en restant chez eux. Mais ces mises en garde eurent peu d''effet. Depuis l''annonce, au milieu du IXe siecle, de la decouverte du tombeau de l''apotre Jacques le Majeur au "bout de la terre", dans le finis terrae de l''ancienne Gallaecia romaine, les pelerins prenaient la route qui les menaient a Compostelle. Les textes ecrits et diffuses depuis le siege apostolique d''Espagne au XIIe siecle contribuerent a eriger le sanctuaire au niveau de ceux de Jerusalem et de Rome. Les trois pelerinages majeurs de la Chretiente occidentale permettaient ainsi aux pelerins de retourner aux sources du christianisme en Terre Sainte, Jerusalem etant identifiee a saint Jean l''Evangeliste et a la charite, de visiter le siege de l''Eglise militante a Rome, identifiee a saint Pierre donc a la foi, et d''aller vers le futur a Compostelle, saint Jacques personnifiant l''esperance. Les auteurs des documents medievaux ne se souciaient pas de denombrer de facon exacte et mathematique leurs contemporains; ils preferaient mentionner les "foules nombreuses" ou les "milliers de combattants", et transmettre ainsi l''impression, la sensation, plus que la realite chiffree. Mais meme en tenant compte de l''hyperbole qui accompagne souvent les descriptions, il est indeniable que des milliers et des milliers d''hommes et de femmes prirent au Moyen Age la route vers l''un des trois sanctuaires ou les trois, une fois ou plusieurs fois dans leur vie, et que ce voyage devint parfois une coutume familiale. Il faut donc voir dans le pelerinage l''une des realites quotidiennes de ceux qui vecurent en Occident au Moyen Age. Les trois pelerinages ne sont cependant pas semblables. Le voyage en Terre Sainte demandait un lourd investissement en temps et en argent, ainsi qu''une prise en charge, a Venise d''abord, puis sur place, par les franciscains a partir du XIIIe siecle, dans la mesure ou les lieux saints etaient en territoire musulman et soigneusement controles; de plus, le voyage en Terre Sainte n''avait pas toujours ete pacifique, et l''espoir de recuperer ces lieux pour l''Eglise chretienne grace a une croisade resta fermement ancre dans l''esprit des Occidentaux jusqu''aux debuts de l''epoque Moderne. Le voyage a Rome etait un pelerinage aux lieux du martyre de nombreux saints, notamment des saints Pierre et Paul, et de tous ceux dont les reliques etaient vendues sur place a bon prix, mais Rome etait aussi le siege de la papaute et bien des sejours avaient pour but l''obtention d''une faveur, d''un privilege, d''une nomination ou d''une confirmation pontificales. Rien de tout cela n''existait a Compostelle ou le pelerin se rendait a son gre, au moment et suivant le chemin qu''il desirait, et n''etait attendu au terme de son voyage que par saint Jacques, l''apotre de l''esperance. Depuis quelques decennies les etudes se sont multipliees sur le pelerinage a Compostelle, faisant suite a celles qui avaient occupe pendant des decennies les specialistes de la Terre Sainte. Il est ainsi possible de tracer les experiences quotidiennes de ceux qui, riches ou pauvres, femmes ou hommes, membres du clerge ou condamnes par la justice, prirent un jour la route vers le finistere de l''Europe ou reposait saint Jacques. Docteur es-Lettres de la Sorbonne, Directeur de Recherches au C.N.R.S., auteur d''une Histoire medievale de la Peninsule iberique (Seuil, 1993) Adeline Rucquoi dirige, au Centre de Recherches Historiques, a l''EHESS de Paris, un seminaire sur l''histoire culturelle de la Peninsule iberique medievale. Elle a egalement publie L''Espagne medievale dans la collection des Guides Belles Lettres des Civilisations ainsi que, dans la collection Realia, Aimer dans l''Espagne medievale (2008).

Book excerpt: Né à Paris en 1955, Yann Kersalé obtient le diplôme national supérieur d'expression plastique à l'école des beaux-arts de Quimper en 1978. Utilisant la lumière comme d'autres se servent de la terre ou de la peinture, il choisit la nuit, lieu d'élection du sensible, comme terrain d'expérimentation. Depuis, avec une extraordinaire vitalité créatrice, Kersalé élabore des centaines de projets in situ et d'Expéditions-lumière, encéphalogramme lumineux de l'océan, détournements d'objets de haute technologie, interventions sur des ouvrages d'art ou des architectures mythiques. Les plus grands architectes font appel à lui. Helmut Jahn lui commande les lumières du Sony Center à Berlin, des aéroports de Bangkok et de Chicago. Pour Jean Nouvel, il conçoit les pulsations rouges de la verrière de l'Opéra de Lyon, la mise en lumière du musée du Quai Branly à Paris, de la tour Agbar à Barcelone. S'élevant contre l'illumination brutale au sodium qui défigure les monuments, il crée à Nantes, à Rennes ou encore pour les installations portuaires de Saint-Nazaire, des fictions lumineuses, travail narratif sur l'âme et la mémoire des villes. Ce travail ne va pas sans l'invention de nouveaux concepts d'éclairages, Objets-lumière comme les greffons lumineux, objets légers qui jouent sur la scansion, sur l'apparition, projets poétiques aux références multiples, dans lesquels l'esprit de liberté et de provocation de Kersalé est toujours perceptible.
Book Synopsis The Gnostics by : Jacques Lacarriere
Download or read book The Gnostics written by Jacques Lacarriere and published by Peter Owen Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnostics have always sought to “know” rather than to accept dogma and doctrine, often to their peril. This inquiry into Gnosticism examines the character, history, and beliefs of a brave and vigorous spiritual quest that originated in the ancient Near East and continues into the present day.Lawrence Durrell writes, “This is a strange and original essay, more a work of literature than of scholarship, though its documentation is impeccable. It is as convincing a reconstruction of the way the Gnostics lived and thought as D.H. Lawrence’s intuitive recreation of the vanished Etruscans.”

Book Synopsis To the Field of Stars by : Kevin A. Codd
Download or read book To the Field of Stars written by Kevin A. Codd and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2008-03-18 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I am about to share here a story about stars that dance. . . . If the very thought of seeing stars dance piques your curiosity at some deep level of your soul, then pay attention to what follows, for the walk to the Field of Stars, to Santiago de Compostela, is a journey that has the power to change lives forever." -- from the introduction "Pilgrimage" is a strange notion to our modern, practical minds. How many of us have walked to a distant holy place in order to draw nearer to God? Yet the pilgrimage experience is growing these days in various parts of the world. Seeking to take stock of his life, Kevin Codd set out in July 2003 on a pilgrimage that would profoundly change his life. To the Field of Stars tells the fascinating story of his unusual spiritual and physical journey on foot across Spain to Santiago de Compostela, the traditional burial place of the apostle James the Greater. Each brief chapter chronicling Codd's thirty-five-day trek is dedicated to one or two days on the road. Codd shares tales of other pilgrims, his own changes of perspective, and his challenges and triumphs along the way -- all told with a disarming candor. Seen through the eyes of a Catholic priest who honors the religious worldview that originally gave rise to these medieval odysseys, "pilgrimage" comes to life and takes on new meaning in these pages.
