Download or read book The matter of miracles written by Helen Hills and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates baroque architecture through the lens of San Gennaro’s miraculously liquefying blood in Naples. This vantage point allows a bracing and thoroughly original rethink of the power of baroque relics and reliquaries. It shows how a focus on miracles produces original interpretations of architecture, sanctity and place which will engage architectural historians everywhere. The matter of the baroque miracle extends into a rigorous engagement with natural history, telluric philosophy, new materialism, theory and philosophy. The study will transform our understanding of baroque art and architecture, sanctity and Naples. Bristling with new archival materials and historical insights, this study lifts the baroque from its previous marginalisation to engage fiercely with materiality and potentiality and thus unleash baroque art and architecture as productive and transformational.

This book was released on 2018-08-29 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conservata in un reliquiario di legno rivestito da una lamina di argento (alto 62 centimetri e largo 24 centimetri), ma non esposta alla venerazione dei fedeli, è la preziosa ampolla (di 8 centimetri) che contiene il sangue color rubino del santo gesuita Francesco de Geronimo (1642-1716), patrono principale di Grottaglie ed apostolo di Napoli.Il sangue in questione fu raccolto nell'immediatezza della morte (11 maggio 1716): i suoi confratelli praticarono un taglio ad un callo del piede destro del taumaturgo e da qui fuoriuscì sangue per undici ore consecutive. Questa insigne reliquia non solo ci avvicina alla corporeità e alla "fisicità" del santo, ma ce lo fa sentire ancora "vivo". Possedere il sangue del padre Francesco de Geronimo, canonizzato dal papa Gregorio XVI il 26 maggio del 1839, significa poter godere ancora della sua "praesentia" e della sua "potentia".
Download or read book Identity Nation Discourse written by Claire Taylor and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores womenâ (TM)s literary and cultural production in Latin America, and suggests how such works engage with discourses of identity, nationhood, and gender. Including contributions by several prominent Latin American scholars themselves, it seeks to provide a vital insight into the analysis and reception of the works in a local context, and foster debate between Latin American and metropolitan academics. The book is divided into two sections: Women and Nationhood, and Models and Genres. The first section comprises six chapters which examines womenâ (TM)s responses to, and attempts to carve out space within, national discourses in a Latin American context. Spanning the nineteenth century to the present day, the chapters offer an insight into the ways in which Latin American women have constructed themselves as modern subjects of the nation, and made use of the ambiguous spaces created by modernization and national discourses. The section starts firstly with a focus on the Southern Cone, covering Chile and Argentina, and then moves geographically northward, to Colombia and Bolivia. The second section, Models and Genres, consists of six chapters that examine how women writers engage with, and critically re-work, existing literary discourses and paradigms. Considering phenomena such as detective fiction, fairy-tales, and classical mythological figures, the chapters illustrate how these genres and modelsâ "frequently coded as masculineâ "are given new inflections, both as a result of their deployment by women, and as a result of their re-working in a Latin American context.
