Book Synopsis The Visualization of Knowledge in Medieval and Early Modern Europe by : J. H. Chajes
Download or read book The Visualization of Knowledge in Medieval and Early Modern Europe written by J. H. Chajes and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of us are exposed to graphic means of communication on a daily basis. Our life seems flooded with lists, tables, charts, diagrams, models, maps, and forms of notation. Although we now take such devices for granted, their role in the codification and transmission of knowledge evolved within historical contexts where they performed particular tasks. The medieval and early modern periods stand as a formative era during which visual structures, both mental and material, increasingly shaped and systematized knowledge. Yet these periods have been sidelined as theorists interested in the epistemic potential of visual strategies have privileged the modern natural sciences. This volume expands the field of research by focusing on the relationship between the arts of memory and modes of graphic mediation through the sixteenth century. Chapters encompass Christian (Greek as well as Latin) production, Jewish (Hebrew) traditions, and the transfer of Arabic learning. The linked essays anthologized here consider the generative power of schemata, cartographic representation, and even the layout of text: more than merely compiling information, visual arrangements formalize abstract concepts, provide grids through which to process data, set in motion analytic operations that give rise to new ideas, and create interpretive frameworks for understanding the world.
Book Synopsis Early Modern Europe 1500-1789 by : H.G. Koenigsberger
Download or read book Early Modern Europe 1500-1789 written by H.G. Koenigsberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opening at the height of the Renaissance, the book chronicles the dawning of a new age on the European continent. Koenigsberger paints a detailed picture of the Reformation and its significance as increasingly powerful nations began to intrude on their subjects’ public and private lives. He gives account of the Counter-Reformation and the political and economic crisis that accompanied it, and an in-depth discussion of the age of Louis XIV and the balance of power in Europe. A full chapter addresses the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment, and throughout attention is given to social, cultural and intellectual developments. The book concludes with a summary of the situation throughout Europe on the eve of the French Revolution, and the dramatic changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution and the beginnings of a consumer society.

Book Synopsis A People's History of Modern Europe by : William A. Pelz
Download or read book A People's History of Modern Europe written by William A. Pelz and published by Pluto Press (UK). This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the monarchical terror of the Middle Ages to the mangled Europe of the twenty-first century, A People's History of Modern Europe tracks the history of the continent through the deeds of those whom mainstream history tries to forget. Europe provided the perfect conditions for a great number of political revolutions from below. The German peasant wars of Thomas Muntzer, the bourgeois revolutions of the eighteenth century, the rise of the industrial worker in England, the turbulent journey of the Russian Soviets, the role of the European working class throughout the Cold War, student protests in 1968 and through to the present day, when we continue to fight to forge an alternative to the barbaric economic system. With sections focusing on the role of women, this history sweeps away the tired platitudes of the privileged upon which our current understanding is based, and provides an opportunity to see our history differently.
Book Synopsis Authority and Spectacle in Medieval and Early Modern Europe by : Yuen-Gen Liang
Download or read book Authority and Spectacle in Medieval and Early Modern Europe written by Yuen-Gen Liang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together distinguished scholars in honor of Professor Teofilo F. Ruiz, this volume presents original and innovative research on the critical and uneasy relationship between authority and spectacle in the period from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, focusing on Spain, the Mediterranean and Latin America. Cultural scholars such as Professor Ruiz and his colleagues have challenged the notion that authority is elided with high politics, an approach that tends to be monolithic and disregards the uneven application and experience of power by elite and non-elite groups in society by highlighting the significance of spectacle. Taking such forms as ceremonies, rituals, festivals, and customs, spectacle is a medium to project and render visible power, yet it is also an ambiguous and contested setting, where participants exercise the roles of both actor and audience. Chapters in this collection consider topics such as monarchy, wealth and poverty, medieval cuisine and diet and textual and visual sources. The individual contributions in this volume collectively represent a timely re-examination of authority that brings in the insights of cultural theory, ultimately highlighting the importance of representation and projection, negotiation and ambivalence.
Book Synopsis A History of Science, Magic and Belief by : Steven P. Marrone
Download or read book A History of Science, Magic and Belief written by Steven P. Marrone and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Science, Magic and Belief is an exploration of the origins of modern society through the culture of the middle ages and early modern period. By examining the intertwined paths of three different systems for interpreting the world, it seeks to create a narrative which culminates in the birth of modernity. It looks at the tensions and boundaries between science and magic throughout the middle ages and how they were affected by elite efforts to rationalise society, often through religion. The witch-crazes of the sixteenth and seventeenth century are seen as a pivotal point, and the emergence from these into social peace is deemed possible due to the Scientific Revolution and the politics of the early modern state. This book is unique in drawing together the histories of science, magic and religion. It is thus an ideal book for those studying any or all of these topics, and with its broad time frame, it is also suitable for students of the history of Europe or Western civilisation in general.

Book Synopsis Past Sense — Studies in Medieval and Early Modern European History by : Constantin Fasolt
Download or read book Past Sense — Studies in Medieval and Early Modern European History written by Constantin Fasolt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty studies collected in this volume focus on the transition from the Middle Ages to the modern world. The method leads from technical investigations on William Durant the Younger (ca. 1266-1330) and Hermann Conring (1606-1681) through reflection on the nature of historical knowledge to a break with historicism, an affirmation of anachronism, and a broad perspective on the history of Europe. The introduction explains when and why these studies were written, and places them in the context of contemporary historical thinking by drawing on Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. This book will appeal to historians with an interest in historical theory, historians of late medieval and early modern Europe, and students looking for the meaning of history.

Book Synopsis The Feeling Heart in Medieval and Early Modern Europe by : Katie Barclay
Download or read book The Feeling Heart in Medieval and Early Modern Europe written by Katie Barclay and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The heart is an iconic symbol in the medieval and early modern European world. In addition to being a physical organ, it is a key conceptual device related to emotions, cognition, the self and identity, and the body. The heart is read as a metaphor for human desire and will, and situated in opposition to or alongside reason and cognition. In medieval and early modern Europe, the "feeling heart" - the heart as the site of emotion and emotional practices - informed a broad range of art, literature, music, heraldry, medical texts, and devotional and ritual practices. This multidisciplinary collection brings together art historians, literary scholars, historians, theologians, and musicologists to highlight the range of meanings attached to the symbol of the heart, the relationship between physical and metaphorical representations of the heart, and the uses of the heart in the production of identities and communities in medieval and early modern Europe. -- Publisher's website.

Download or read book A History of Medieval and Modern Europe written by Henry E. Bourne and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Medieval and Modern Europe To the American pupil the history of Europe is important because it is also the early history of his own people. In the older Europe lie the beginnings of American civilization, institutions as well as religious customs, literature, and habits of thought. But it is difficult to explain the development of Europe since the downfall of the Roman Empire within the somewhat rigorous limits assigned to a text-book. A brief text-book has the advantage of making possible a larger use of books for supplementary reading, which are constantly increasing in numbers and utility. One of the conditions of brevity is the omission of many facts which are ordinarily explained or at least mentioned. The principle of selection adopted in the preparation of this book has been the value of the fact in explaining the Europe of the present day and in showing the course of its development. Emphasis has also been laid upon geographical facts in order that the geography of Europe already studied in the elementary school may be reviewed and explained, as it must necessarily be in the study of the historical facts which lie behind the present frontier lines or the condition of modern nations. The attempt has been made to narrate the history of the more important countries together in chronological order, instead of giving to each a separate treatment, and so obliging the reader to move forward and backward along the chronological series and, by an unusual effort of attention, make the necessary correlation of events, or fail to gain an adequate conception of the progress of Europe as a whole. Many events in one country directly affected events in another or at least illustrated similar tendencies in thought or in institutions.
