Download or read book A Superb Baroque written by Jonathan Bober and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genoa completed its transformation from a faded maritime power into a thriving banking center for Europe in the seventeenth century. The wealth accumulated by its leading families spurred investment in the visual arts on an enormous scale. This volume explores how artists both foreign and native created a singularly rich and extravagant expression of the baroque in works of extraordinary variety, sumptuousness, and exuberance. This art, however, has remained largely hidden behind the facades of the city's palaces, with few works, apart from those by the school's great expatriates, found beyond its borders. As a result, the Genoese baroque has been insufficiently considered or appreciated.0Lavishly illustrated, 'A Superb Baroque' is comprehensive, encompassing all the major media and participants. Presented are some 140 select works by the celebrated foreigners drawn to the city and its flourishing environment. Offering three levels of exploration-essays that frame and interpret, section introductions that characterize principal currents and stages, and texts that elucidate individual works-this volume is by far the most extensive study of the Genoese baroque in the English language.00Exhibition: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, USA (03.05.-16.08.2020) / Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, Italy (03.10.2020 - 10.01.2021).

Download or read book The Routledge History of the Domestic Sphere in Europe written by Joachim Eibach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the multifaceted history of the domestic sphere in Europe from the Age of Reformation to the emergence of modern society. By focusing on daily practice, interaction and social relations, it shows continuities and social change in European history from an interior perspective. The Routledge History of the Domestic Sphere in Europe contains a variety of approaches from different regions that each pose a challenge to commonplace views such as the emergence of confessional cultures, of private life, and of separate spheres of men and women. By analyzing a plethora of manifold sources including diaries, court records, paintings and domestic advice literature, this volume provides an overview of the domestic sphere as a location of work and consumption, conflict and cooperation, emotions and intimacy, and devotion and education. The book sheds light on changing relations between spouses, parents and children, masters and servants or apprentices, and humans and animals or plants, thereby exceeding the notion of the modern nuclear family. This volume will be of great use to upper-level graduates, postgraduates and experienced scholars interested in the history of family, household, social space, gender, emotions, material culture, work and private life in early modern and nineteenth-century Europe.

Download or read book Gender Migration and Domestic Service written by Jacqueline Andall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the experiences of Black women in Italy from the 1970s to the 1990s. Although Italy is still perceived as a recent immigration country, the book demonstrates how Black women were among the first groups of new migrants to the country. Black women migrating to Italy were employed almost exclusively as live-in domestic workers and detailed attention is paid to the history and political organization of this sector. Unlike much published work in Italian, this book adopts an integrated form of analysis where gender, ethnicity and class are seen to be interconnected constructs. The book also situates Black women within the framework of the national constituency of gender. This approach challenges the ideology surrounding the Italian family and demonstrates that while live-in domestic work created specific forms of social marginality for Black women, it paradoxically allowed Italian women to express their new social identities within and outside the family. The book concludes that Italian women have largely failed in their attempts to transform the division of labour within the home and that the decision to employ other (migrant) women to fulfill household tasks is a trend which sits uneasily within the framework of an inclusive feminist project for women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romanzo fantasy di ambientazione medievale. Sullo sfondo del feudalesimo, creature dotate di poteri soprannaturali e sudditi inermi lottano per la sopravvivenza, oppressi da un tiranno secolare e divisi dalla superstiziosa paura dell'infezione demoniaca. L'atavica leggenda nera narra di demoni predatori talmente feroci da intimorire un drago famelico. Philip il Sanguinario persegue lo sterminio degli Infetti con il sostegno della Setta, un ordine religioso reso potente dagli oscuri alchimisti di Duran. I confratelli sono impareggiabili cacciatori di demoni, ma minacciano gli antichi privilegi dei feudatari. Nel fastoso mondo aristocratico, una donzella di nobile stirpe viene promessa in sposa al famigerato Duca. La Volpe, irrequieta custode di un insidioso segreto, suo malgrado è stretta nella morsa degli intrighi di palazzo. Nei bassifondi della città, la Caccia Rossa dei sicari sta per cominciare; la condanna al patibolo incombe su una famiglia operaia, tradita dallo stigma della nefasta malattia. Ovunque, l'Eroe Mascherato sfida gli spietati cacciatori di Infetti e si proclama paladino della giustizia. Nascosto nell'anonimato, il benefattore degli indigenti contraddice la leggenda nera sui demoni e non pare la tenebrosa creatura dei racconti popolari. In verità, nel Regno dei Lord più che altrove l'apparenza inganna. Arcani. Trame e delitti, amore e coraggio, lealtà e inganno: in fatti di sangue di tempi lontani si celano i misteri della dinastia egemone, inquietanti come lo sguardo cieco del Duca. Storie d'amore. Sotto la tirannide di Philip il Sanguinario, l'amore è un barlume di speranza, come quel raggio di luna che rischiara le fitte ombre del Lord della Notte, foriero dell'alba Wildsibling.

Download or read book Interpretazioni written by Cristina Pausini and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretazioni is an intermediate- to advanced-level Italian textbook that aims to teach language through film, focusing on Italian movies from 2010 to 2017. Teaching language through cinema is a widespread and proven practice that engages all four main language skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing), and Interpretazioni utilizes the proven format and pedagogy of Pausini and Antonello Borra's previous book, Italian Through Film (Yale UP, 2003), which is regarded highly among teachers. Films featured in Interpretazioni span genres, address a wide range of themes, and are set in various parts of Italy, encouraging students and teachers to more fully engage with the complexity of Italian cinema. As in Italian through Film, the activities based on the films are divided into three main categories (before, during, and after viewing the film) with a natural progression from warm-up questions to closed and controlled exercises to open-ended and creative tasks–both oral and written–including grammar practice, all within the context of each single film. An instructor's manual with answer keys and suggestions on using apps for teaching is available on the www.press.georgetown.edu website.
