Download or read book Early Modern Things written by Paula Findlen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Modern Things supplies fresh and provocative insights into how objects – ordinary and extraordinary, secular and sacred, natural and man-made – came to define some of the key developments of the early modern world. Now in its second edition, this book taps a rich vein of recent scholarship to explore a variety of approaches to the material culture of the early modern world (c. 1500–1800). Divided into seven parts, the book explores the ambiguity of things, representing things, making things, encountering things, empires of things, consuming things, and the power of things. This edition includes a new preface and three new essays on ‘encountering things’ to enrich the volume. These look at cabinets of curiosities, American pearls, and the material culture of West Central Africa. Spanning across the early modern world from Ming dynasty China and Tokugawa Japan to Siberia and Georgian England, from the Kingdom of the Kongo and the Ottoman Empire to the Caribbean and the Spanish Americas, the authors provide a generous set of examples in how to study the circulation, use, consumption, and, most fundamentally, the nature of things themselves. Drawing on a broad range of disciplinary perspectives and lavishly illustrated, this updated edition of Early Modern Things is essential reading for all those interested in the early modern world and the history of material culture.

Download or read book From Lived Experience to the Written Word written by Pamela H. Smith and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why early modern European artisans began to record their knowledge. In From Lived Experience to the Written Word, Pamela H. Smith considers how and why, beginning in 1400 CE, European craftspeople began to write down their making practices. Rather than simply passing along knowledge in the workshop, these literate artisans chose to publish handbooks, guides, treatises, tip sheets, graphs, and recipe books, sparking early technical writing and laying the groundwork for how we think about scientific knowledge today. Focusing on metalworking from 1400–1800 CE, Smith looks at the nature of craft knowledge and skill, studying present-day and historical practices, objects, recipes, and artisanal manuals. From these sources, she considers how we can reconstruct centuries of largely lost knowledge. In doing so, she aims not only to unearth the techniques, material processes, and embodied experience of the past but also to gain insight into the lifeworld of artisans and their understandings of matter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die deutsche und mitteleuropaische Nietzsche-Forschung ist auf den Blick uber den eigenen kulturellen Horizont hinaus angewiesen, will sie ein umfassendes Bild der Nietzsche-Rezeption zeichnen. Dieser Band untersucht die Wirkung des Werks von Friedrich Nietzsche in spezifischen nationalkulturellen Kontexten, und zwar in Danemark, Schweden, Belgien, Italien, Argentinien, Brasilien, Russland und dem Iran. Auch die Rolle und Funktion von Ubersetzern Nietzsches als Mittler zwischen den Kulturen wird thematisiert. Weiterhin kommen spezielle Aspekte der Rezeptionsgeschichte im 20. Jahrhundert, etwa die bibliographische Erschliessung der Werke Nietzsches und die Prasenz Nietzsches in den sogenannten neuen Medien (Film und Internet) zur Sprache. In einem eigenen Themenblock wird das drangende Problem des Erhalts von Nietzsches Bibliothek angesprochen, die in der Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek, Weimar, aufbewahrt wird. Die Frage nach dem Umgang mit Nietzsches Buchern wird also auf konservatorische und restauratorische Aspekte ausgedehnt. Der private, sehr gefahrdete Bucherbestand Friedrich Nietzsches gilt als ein besonders interessantes Beispiel einer Schriftstellerbibliothek des 19. Jahrhunderts.

The originality of their oeuvre is manifested in monumental sculptures and magnificent wooden bowls and dishes as well as in small implements of virtuoso design. The works are decorated in a rich palette of red, black, brown and white tones that give severe, strongly contrasting visual effects. "[Featured here are] the artistically fashioned products of the archipelego's material culture. A centrally positions in occupied by representations of humans and animals and the adornment of ritual objects. Objects that played a role in religion and mythology, and above all, in the daily life of the inhabitants of the islands. " -- From the Preface by Lorenz Homberger
