Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si è sempre detto, e la maggior parte degli scritti sull’argomento non si stanca di ripeterlo, che le donne nel Medioevo lavoravano, ma lavoravano in casa, tessendo e filando, magari alla luce di una candela ricordando il passato, come ce le dipinge in una lirica Ronsard. Potevano al massimo aiutare il marito nella sua attività, e proseguirla se vedove, ma erano retribuite meno rispetto agli uomini e incapaci di sopravvivere col proprio lavoro. Tutto questo secondo l’opinione tradizionale, viziata da preconcetti e da schemi attuali proiettati sul passato.

This book was released on 2011-06-22T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume delinea la storia delle donne nell’Italia medievale, sia nel nord che nel sud della penisola, dal VI al XIII secolo, basandosi sui vari tipi di fonti, documentarie, legali, narrative, agiografiche, di cui disponiamo. In sette capitolo organizzati cronologicamente, l’autrice affronta diversi aspetti della vita delle donne – relazioni familiari, religiosità, diritti di proprietà, forme di potere –, tratteggia personaggi spesso trascurati in altre opere sulla storia del medioevo europeo e dimostra che la condizione femminile beneficiò solo parzialmente della situazione di sviluppo sociale e politico dell’Italia medievale.
Download or read book Stories of Women in the Middle Ages written by Maria Teresa Brolis and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries in Europe, not all women fit the stereotype of passive housewife and mother. Many led bold and dynamic lives. In this collection of historical portraits, Maria Teresa Brolis tells the fascinating tales of fashion icons, art clients, businesswomen, saints, healers, lovers, and pilgrims – both famous and little known – who challenge conventional understandings of the medieval female experience. Drawing on evidence from literary works and archival documents that include letters, chronicles, trials, testimonials, notary registers, contracts, and wills, Brolis pieces together an intricate overview of sixteen women’s lives. With zest and compassion, she describes the mysterious visionary Hildegard of Bingen, the cultured Heloisa, the powerful Eleanor of Aquitaine, Saint Clare of Assisi, the rebel Joan of Arc, as well as lesser-known women such as Flora, the penitent moneylender, Bettina the healer, and Belfiore the pilgrim, among others. Following the trajectories and divergences of their lives from wealth to poverty, from conjugal love to the love of community, from the bedroom to life on the streets of Paris, London, Mainz, Rome, and Bergamo, each portrait offers a riveting glimpse into the often complex and surprising world of the medieval woman. Combining the rigour of research with the thrill and empathy of narrative, Stories of Women in the Middle Ages is a provocative investigation into the biographies of sixteen incredible medieval heroines.

Download or read book Women in Medieval Italian Society 500 1200 written by Patricia Skinner and published by Longman. This book was released on 2001 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first book to explore women's lives in medieval Italy from the sixth to the thirteenth centuries, Patricia Skinner outlines the development of women's history in Italy before exploring medieval sources for their lives. She conveys the rich variety of women's lives and experiences through new readings of the source material and newly-translated excerpts. The book is arranged chronologically, and each chapter includes a brief political overview together with a focus on key female figures in Italian history, mainly rulers, who have been neglected by surveys of medieval European women. In contrast to many treatments, the book includes substantial comparisons between the northern and southern halves of the peninsula. It also challenges some of the standard historiography on medieval Italy by demonstrating that women often did not benefit from the so-called advances in Italian political and social structures.

Download or read book Perception and Action in Medieval Europe written by Harald Kleinschmidt and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2005 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study of the changing nature of the perception of an action and the action itself, and how thought-processes altered radically in the middle ages. Can dancers dance for a year and a day without drinking, eating and sleeping? Can pictures be made to speak to their viewers? Can lavender purify the soul? The modern mind regards it as impossible and simply regards reports that these things happened as typical of the `fantastic' Middle Ages. In his new book, however, Harald Kleinschmidt argues that we should not be so swift to dismiss such matters. In this thought-provoking study of the logic of perception and action behind these and other stories, and of the history of the five senses, he argues that modern Western rationalism is peculiar in seeing an opposition between perceivers and the targets of their curiosity, actors and their environments or, in general terms, subject and object. Instead, he shows that whether active or passive, people saw their deeds as correlated and mutually dependent. Using a wide range of textual and pictorial sources, he goeson to demonstrate that the assumption of an opposition between subject and object resulted from fundamental changes of standards of perception and patterns of action that took place during the Middle Ages, resulting in the emergence of a new rationalism. HARALD KLEINSCHMIDT teaches in the College of International Studies at the University of Tsukuba, Japan.

Download or read book Adoption and Fosterage Practices in the Late Medieval and Modern Age written by Marina Garbellotti and published by Viella Libreria Editrice. This book was released on 2016-02-26T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years historical studies on adoption and fosterage have greatly advanced, very likely due to the importance that such practices have acquired in our own societies. Also in the past – not only during Roman or Late Antique periods, but throughout the Middle Ages and the Modern Era as well – a rather significant number of family units went through adoption and fosterage, experiencing these kinds of ties and relationships on the daily basis. Articles collected in this volume are aimed at analysing the various forms and methods by means of which the concept of “adoption” was interpreted and practiced during the Medieval and Early Modern periods, identifying especially relevant chronological points, examples from different regional and local contexts, reciprocal influences, and family relationships shaped by adoption.
