Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Roland H. Bainton Book Prize from the Sixteenth Century Society & Conference In 1578, a fourteen-foot linen sheet bearing the faint bloodstained imprint of a human corpse was presented to tens of thousands of worshippers in Turin, Italy, as one of the original shrouds used to prepare Jesus Christ’s body for entombment. From that year into the next century, the Shroud of Turin emerged as Christianity’s preeminent religious artifact. In an unprecedented new look, Andrew R. Casper sheds new light on one of the world’s most famous and controversial religious objects. Since the early twentieth century, scores of scientists and forensic investigators have attributed the Shroud’s mysterious images to painterly, natural, or even supernatural forces. Casper, however, shows that this modern opposition of artifice and authenticity does not align with the cloth’s historical conception as an object of religious devotion. Examining the period of the Shroud’s most enthusiastic following, from the late 1500s through the 1600s, he reveals how it came to be considered an artful relic—a divine painting attributed to God’s artistry that contains traces of Christ’s body. Through probing analyses of materials created to perpetuate the Shroud’s cult following—including devotional, historical, and theological treatises as well as printed and painted reproductions—Casper uncovers historicized connections to late Renaissance and Baroque artistic cultures that frame an understanding of the Shroud’s bloodied corporeal impressions as an alloy of material authenticity and divine artifice. This groundbreaking book introduces rich, new material about the Shroud’s emergence as a sacred artifact. It will appeal to art historians specializing in religious and material studies, historians of religion, and to general readers interested in the Shroud of Turin.

Download or read book Storia identit e canoni letterari written by Ioana Both and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume collects the interventions of the post-doctoral fellows and PhD students of the University of Cluj Napoca, the University of Bucharest and the University of Florence (Mediterranean Cultures; Doctoral School of Comparative Languages, Literatures and Cultures, specialisation in Language, Literature, Philology: Intercultural Perspectives) presented in occasion of the seminar Storia, identità e canoni letterari (“History, identity and literary canons”, Florence, 22-23 November 2011). The contributions are centred on the idea of canon, as a cultural construct founding modern national identities. Another trace is the literary and cultural hybridisations between different geographies. For the Romanian context, the contributions pay particular attention to the movements of the avant-garde of the early 1900s. Some contributions account for the most problematic aspects of the contemporary world using interdisciplinary approaches.

This book was released on 2022-09-23T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollock, Rothko, Fontana, Burri, Hopper, Bacon, Abramović, González-Torres, Mueck e Hirst.Dieci artisti il cui lavoro oscilla tra due estremi: il buio e la luce, la drammatica consapevolezza del vuoto di senso causato dalle ferite della storia e dai terremoti del presente, ma anche la strada per affrontare nell'arte le inquietudini e le domande della contemporaneità. L'arte contemporanea è specchio sensibilissimo delle tensioni, delle contraddizioni, della bellezza e degli orrori del nostro tempo. Un tempo così vicino che può accaderci talvolta di ritrarci, interrogandoci sul suo senso. Ma basta avvicinarla, con pazienza, ripetutamente, e si impara a conoscerla, se ne trovano le chiavi di lettura, gli intenti. E allora il suo fascino ci avvolge. Questo libro non racconta, per sintesi, 'tutta' l'arte contemporanea, ma vuole proporre il lavoro di dieci particolari artisti vissuti tra gli anni Quaranta del Novecento e i nostri giorni: Pollock, Rothko, Fontana, Burri, Hopper, Bacon, Abramović, González-Torres, Mueck e Hirst. La descrizione delle loro opere e il racconto delle loro vite, supportati dalle testimonianze dirette dei protagonisti, segnano, nel vasto territorio della contemporaneità, una sorta di itinerario che lascia emergere una potente tensione spirituale e creativa. Questi artisti hanno scrutato il buio del vuoto di senso dopo i traumi della guerra mondiale e di fronte alla paura della catastrofe nucleare e alla ripulsa per la macchina divoratrice della società dei consumi. Alla ricerca di una luce che non è una risposta definitiva o una certezza metafisica, ma innanzitutto è scoperta di forme espressive e simboliche che diano voce, nell'arte, alle inquietudini e alle domande della contemporaneità.

Download or read book Italian Crime Fiction written by Giulana Pieri and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the first study in the English language to focus specifically on Italian crime fiction, weaving together a historical perspective and a thematic approach, with a particular focus on the representation of space, especially city space, gender, and the tradition of impegno, the social and political engagement which characterised the Italian cultural and literary scene in the postwar period. The 8 chapters in this volume explore the distinctive features of the Italian tradition from the 1930s to the present, by focusing on a wide range of detective and crime novels by selected Italian writers, some of whom have an established international reputation, such as C. E. Gadda, L. Sciascia and U. Eco, whilst others may be relatively unknown, such as the new generation of crime writers of the Bologna school and Italian women crime writers. Each chapter examines a specific period, movement or group of writers, as well as engaging with broader debates over the contribution crime fiction makes more generally to contemporary Italian and European culture. The editor and contributors of this volume argue strongly in favour of reinstating crime fiction within the canon of Italian modern literature by presenting this once marginalised literary genre as a body of works which, when viewed without the artificial distinction between high and popular literature, shows a remarkable insight into Italy’s postwar history, tracking its societal and political troubles and changes as well as often also engaging with metaphorical and philosophical notions of right or wrong, evil, redemption, and the search of the self.
Download or read book Dell informe 2 Assemblaggi written by Marco Navarra and published by LetteraVentidue Edizioni. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Se l’Informe è un carattere della nostra epoca, è indispensabile ripensare gli strumenti con cui descriviamo e trasformiamo la realtà. Come potrebbero mutare i nostri paradigmi se assumessimo l’Informe come strumento critico? Il ruolo operativo dell’Informe, proposto da Georges Bataille, permette di dare senso a molte pratiche di trasformazione del mondo. “Assemblaggi” è costruito come un montaggio di testi su autori di diverse epoche. La descrizione e il commento delineano un percorso che indaga la potenza plastica e critica dell’Informe come apertura all’indeterminato. L’idea di un’Architettura geologica interroga le pieghe della Terra e dispiega una pratica del “maifinito” come nodo di congiunzione tra tempi e mondi diversi. Mettere in forma la tensione tra le cose costituisce il compito di un’Architettura terrestre per immaginare nuove alleanze capaci di generare futuri.
Download or read book Popular High Culture in Italian Media 1950 1970 written by Emma Barron and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mona Lisa smiled enigmatically from the cover of the Italian magazine Epoca in 1957, she gazed out at more than three million readers. As Emma Barron argues, her appearance on the cover is emblematic of the distinctive ways that high culture was integrated into Italy’s mass culture boom in the 1950s and 1960s, a period when popular appropriations of literature, fine art and music became a part of the rapidly changing modern Italian identity. Popular magazines ran weekly illustrated adaptations of literary classics. Television brought opera from the opera house into the homes of millions. Readers wrote to intellectuals and artists such as Alberto Moravia, Thomas Mann and Salvatore Quasimodo by the thousands with questions about literature and self-education. Drawing upon new archival material on the demographics of television audiences and magazine readers, this book is an engaging account of how the Italian people took possession of high culture and transformed the modern Italian identity.
