Book Synopsis Gold, Silver, and Bronze by : Jennifer Montagu
Download or read book Gold, Silver, and Bronze written by Jennifer Montagu and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the exquisite metal sculpture of the Roman baroque Roman baroque sculpture is usually thought of in terms of large-scale statues in marble and bronze, tombs, or portrait busts. Smaller bronze statuettes are often overlooked, and the extensive production of sculptural silver—much of which is now lost but can be studied from drawings—is frequently omitted from the histories of art. In this book, Jennifer Montagu enriches our understanding of the sculpture of the period by investigating the bronzes that adorn the great tabernacles of Roman churches; gilded silver, both secular and ecclesiastical; elaborately embossed display dishes; and the production of medals. Concentrating on selected pieces by such master sculptors as Bernini and leading metal-workers such as Giovanni Giardini, Montagu examines the often tortuous relationship between patrons and artists and elucidates the relationship between those who provided the drawings or models and the craftsmen who executed the finished sculptures.
Book Synopsis Esame di coscienza di un letterato by : Renato Serra
Download or read book Esame di coscienza di un letterato written by Renato Serra and published by Mincione Edizioni. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colpito da una pallottola in fronte a trentuno anni, durante la terza battaglia dell’Isonzo, Renato Serra non era consapevole del prezioso contributo che il suo approccio avrebbe dato alla nostra letteratura. Di indole pigra, inconcludente, scontroso, restio alle scadenze lavorative, d’animo riservato, scettico verso la comune opinione, Serra resta una delle figure più complesse del Ventesimo secolo. In lui c’è l’assidua ricerca di un’identità non soltanto letteraria, ma principalmente umana, che lo pone in uno stato di permanente disadattamento con la vita e con il mondo. Il suo è uno sguardo limpido e assoluto sulle cose, risolto con l’onesta lucidità intellettuale della ragione che si realizza in un’inesorabile incertezza dei principi capaci di governare le azioni umane. Esame di coscienza di un letterato riproposto in quattro lingue in un’unica edizione, è un discorso aperto sul senso di prendere parte alla guerra, sulla coscienza morale e sulla necessità di essere contemporanei. Abattu d'une balle en plein front à l'âge de trente et un ans lors de la troisième bataille de l'Isonzo, Renato Serra n'avait pas conscience de la précieuse contribution que son approche apporterait à notre littérature. D'un tempérament paresseux, peu concluant, grognon, peu enclin à respecter les délais de travail, réservé dans son esprit, sceptique à l'égard de l'opinion commune, Serra reste l'une des figures les plus complexes du XXe siècle. Il y a chez lui une recherche assidue d'une identité non seulement littéraire, mais avant tout humaine, qui le place dans un état d'inadaptation permanente à la vie et au monde. C'est un regard limpide et absolu sur les choses, résolu avec la lucidité intellectuelle honnête de la raison qui se réalise dans une incertitude inexorable des principes capables de gouverner les actions humaines. L'examen de conscience d'un homme de lettres, réédité en quatre langues dans une seule édition, est un discours ouvert sur le sens de la participation à la guerre, sur la conscience morale et la nécessité d'être contemporain.

Book Synopsis Fictions of Youth by : Simona Bondavalli
Download or read book Fictions of Youth written by Simona Bondavalli and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fictions of Youth is a comprehensive examination of adolescence as an aesthetic, sociological, and ideological category in Pier Paolo Pasolini's prose, poetry, and cinema. Simona Bondavalli's book explores the multiple ways in which youth, real and imagined, shaped Pasolini's poetics and critical positions and shows how Pasolini's works became the basis for representations of contemporary young people, particularly Italians. From Pasolini's own coming of age under Fascism in the 1940s to the consumer capitalism of the 1970s, youth stood for innocence, vitality, and rebellion. Pasolini's representations of youth reflected and shaped those ideas. Offering a systematic treatment of youth and adolescence within Pasolini's eclectic body of work, Fictions of Youth provides both a broad overview of the changing nature of youth within Italian modernity and an in-depth study of Pasolini's significant contribution to that transformation.

Book Synopsis The Crowning of a Poet’s Quest by : Paola Loreto
Download or read book The Crowning of a Poet’s Quest written by Paola Loreto and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2009 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first extended study of Derek Walcott’s Tiepolo’s Hound (2000) defines the book as the culmination of the poetry and poetic of the Caribbean writer and Nobel Prize winner. In this long poem, Walcott achieves three goals pursued throughout his career: to develop an original Caribbean aesthetic; to meld the modes of poetry and prose; and to formulate the Bildung of the island-artist in terms of an ‘autobiographical’ narrative. The analysis provides an aesthetic and cultural evaluation of the poem, in terms both of the Western poetic tradition to which it refers through its rich intertextuality and of its significance as a postcolonial milestone. The commentary locates Walcott in an aesthetic tradition running from Emerson through the American Pragmatists to modernist poets; describes his experimental use of certain central narrative strategies in his semi-autobiographical long poems, which is compared to those of another, openly admired, bilingual writer, Vladimir Nabokov; explores Walcott’s revision of the epic mode and of the genre of autobiography; delineates his unfolding of a post-Romantic internalization of the poet’s Arthurian quest; and discusses his complex treatment of the multi-layered metaphor of light as major evidence of the maturity of his style and poetic, with their conscious cross-fertilization between the literary cultures of Europe and the Caribbean. An appendix to this study contains the transcriptions of various ‘Walcott events’ that took place in Italy in the summers of 2000 and 2001, including a creative writing seminar, a press conference, and readings. This extensive material opens a window onto Walcott’s gifts as a teacher, to his stringent yet passionate commitment to the art of poetry, and to the ways in which he and his students grapple with the challenges of literary translation.

Book excerpt: [ILLUSTRATO IN B/N] Dal punto di vista dell'Uomo, la nostra è stata l'unica luna per milioni di anni. A partire dal 7 gennaio 1610, Galileo ed i suoi successori hanno scoperto centinaia di nuove lune all'interno del nostro sistema planetario. Oggi conosciamo tutte le lune maggiori e siamo costantemente a caccia di quelle piccole ed evanescenti che orbitano lontano dai loro pianeti o attorno a grandi e remoti asteroidi. Dopo lo storico allunaggio del 1969, l'umanità è riuscita per ora ad atterrare solamente su un'altra luna: Titano. In questo libro sono elencate tutte le lune conosciute, la loro esplorazione e le loro principali caratteristiche. Scopriremo su di esse un'infinita varietà di ambienti ed incontreremo formazioni geologiche mai viste sulla Terra.
Book Synopsis Contrastive Lexical Semantics by : Edda Weigand
Download or read book Contrastive Lexical Semantics written by Edda Weigand and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrastive lexical semantics was the main topic of an International Workshop at the University of Münster in May, 1997. It was addressed from different perspectives, from the pragmatic perspective of a corpus-oriented approach as well as from the model-oriented perspective of sign theoretic linguistics. Whereas the rule-governed model-oriented approach is necessarily restricted to subsets of vocabulary, the pragmatic approach aims to analyse and describe the whole vocabulary-in-use. After the pragmatic turn, lexical semantics can no longer be seen as a discipline on its own but has to be developed as an integral part of a theory of language use. Essential features of individual languages can be discovered only by looking beyond the limits of our mother languages and including a contrastive perspective. Within a pragmatic, corpus-oriented approach essential new ideas are discussed, mainly the insight that single words can no longer be considered to be the lexical unit. It is the complex multi-word lexical unit a pragmatic approach has to deal with.
Book Synopsis Horace and Seneca by : Martin Stöckinger
Download or read book Horace and Seneca written by Martin Stöckinger and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sets out to explore the complex relationship between Horace and Seneca. It is the first book that examines the interface between these different and yet highly comparable authors with consideration of their œuvres in their entirety. The fourteen chapters collected here explore a wide range of topics clustered around the following four themes: the combination of literature and philosophy; the ways in which Seneca’s choral odes rework Horatian material and move beyond it; the treatment of ethical, poetic, and aesthetic questions by the two authors; and the problem of literary influence and reception as well as ancient and modern reflections on these problems. While the intertextual contacts between Horace and Seneca themselves lie at the core of this project, it also considers the earlier texts that serve as sources for both authors, intermediary steps in Roman literature, and later texts where connections between the two philosopher-poets are drawn. Although not as obviously palpable as the linkage between authors who share a common generic tradition, this uneven but pervasive relationship can be regarded as one of the most prolific literary interactions between the early Augustan and the Neronian periods. A bidirectional list of correspondences between Horace and Seneca concludes the volume.

Book Synopsis Emblems and the Natural World by : Paul J. Smith
Download or read book Emblems and the Natural World written by Paul J. Smith and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its invention by Andrea Alciato, the emblem is inextricably connected to the natural world. Alciato and his followers drew massively their inspiration from it. For their information about nature, the emblem authors were greatly indebted to ancient natural history, the medieval bestiaries, and the 15th- and 16th-century proto-emblematics, especially the imprese. The natural world became the main topic of, for instance, Camerarius’s botanical and zoological emblem books, and also of the ‘applied’ emblematics in drawings and decorative arts. Animal emblems are frequently quoted by naturalists (Gesner, Aldrovandi). This interdisciplinary volume aims to address these multiple connections between emblematics and Natural History in the broader perspective of their underlying ideologies – scientific, artistic, literary, political and/or religious. Contributors: Alison Saunders, Anne Rolet, Marisa Bass, Bernhard Schirg, Maren Biederbick, Sabine Kalff, Christian Peters, Frederik Knegtel, Agnes Kusler, Aline Smeesters, Astrid Zenker, Tobias Bulang, Sonja Schreiner, Paul Smith, and Karl Enenkel.

Book Synopsis Lucian: Three Menippean Fantasies by : Lucian
Download or read book Lucian: Three Menippean Fantasies written by Lucian and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handful of fragments is all that remains of the writings of Menippus, the third-century BCE provocateur of the Greek Cynic movement. The Western literary tradition knows him through Lucian, the Greek satirist who lived and worked four hundred years later. Included in this book are Joel Relihan’s lively English translations of Lucian’s three reanimations of Menippus—fantastic narratives and comic dialogues set in heaven and hell: Menippus; or, The Consultation of the CorpsesIcaromenippus; or, A Man above the CloudsThe Colloquies of the Corpses (Dialogues of the Dead) For the first time in over fifty years, these works are assembled in a unified format to tell a particular story: Lucian’s evolving understanding of the philosophical and literary potential of the person, productions, and purposes of Menippus. Not only is it time to give Lucian’s Menippus a fresh look and a thorough reevaluation, but also to consider how Lucian’s imitations and innovations adumbrate, illuminate, and complicate the history of that enigmatic genre, Menippean satire.
