Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il Medioevo è stato davvero un periodo oscuro? Tra sacro e profano il racconto della vita quotidiana e del potente immaginario di un’epoca Un racconto curioso e affascinante di una cultura che si colloca tra sacro e profano, qui indagata nel momento in cui prende forma. La storia degli uomini e delle donne del Medioevo ha modellato e influenzato profondamente il modo di vivere dei popoli europei e ancora si ripresenta nel nostro quotidiano sotto molteplici forme. Un periodo storico contraddittorio, in bilico perenne tra oscurantismo e idealizzazione, che è caratterizzato da grossi sconvolgimenti nei rapporti politici, sociali e, soprattutto, religiosi. La scomparsa degli antichi culti, sostituiti gradualmente dal cristianesimo, e l’ingresso in uno spazio politico e religioso comune di quei paesi che erano rimasti fuori dalla civiltà romana sanciscono l’atto di nascita dell’Europa, in cui hanno origine e si consolidano sincretismi religiosi, consuetudinari e giuridici che regoleranno e condizioneranno a lungo la vita dell’uomo occidentale fino ai nostri giorni. Momento essenziale del nostro passato, questo affascinante e sorprendente viaggio nel Medioevo potrà «dare il duplice piacere di incontrare insieme l’altro e voi stessi» (Jacques Le Goff). Uno spaccato di vita quotidiana su un’epoca storica controversa ma fondamentale Tra gli argomenti trattati: Mulini profani e mistici Il diavolo e il ballo: epidemie coreutiche e tarantismo La crociata dei bambini Il cannibalismo in Europa Furto del sacro: santi e reliquie La leggenda della Vera Croce L’infanticidio Pasque di sangue e omicidi rituali I santuari à répit Sessualità nei penitenziali La purificazione della puerpera Il dominio del velo: tra Occidente e Oriente Streghe e magia tempestaria La pittura infamante Erberto Petoia Membro del direttivo scientifico del Centro Studi di Tradizioni Popolari “Alfonso M. di Nola”, ha collaborato per anni con la cattedra di Storia delle Religioni e Antropologia Culturale presso l’Istituto Universitario Orientale di Napoli e presso l’Università di Roma III.

Download or read book Forced Baptisms written by Marina Caffiero and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes use of newly available archival sources to reexamine the Roman Catholic Church’s policy, from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, of coercing the Jews of Rome into converting to Christianity. Marina Caffiero, one of the first historians permitted access to important archives, sets individual stories of denunciation, betrayal, pleading, and conflict into historical context to highlight the Church’s actions and the Jewish response. Caffiero documents the regularity with which Jews were abducted from the Roman ghetto and pressured to accept baptism. She analyzes why some Jewish men, interested in gaining a business advantage, were more inclined to accept conversion than the women. The book exposes the complexity of relations between the papacy and the Jews, revealing the Church not as a monolithic entity, but as a network of competing institutions, and affirming the Roman Jews as active agents of resistance.
Download or read book Heraldry in Urban Society written by Marcus Meer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heraldry is often seen as a traditional prerogative of the nobility. But it was not just knights, princes, kings, and emperors who bore coats of arms to show off their status in the Middle Ages. The merchants and craftsmen who lived in cities, too, adopted coats of arms and used heraldic customs, including display and destruction, to underline their social importance and to communicate political messages. Medieval burgesses were part of a fascination with heraldry that spread throughout pre-modern society and looked at coats of arms as honoured signs of genealogy and history. Heraldry in Urban Society analyses the perceptions and functions of heraldry in medieval urban societies by drawing on both English- and German-language sources from the late fourteenth to the early sixteenth centuries. Despite variations that point to socio-political differences between cities (and their citizens) in the relatively centralized monarchy of medieval England and the more independent-minded urban governments found in the less closely connected Holy Roman Empire, urban heraldry emerges as a versatile and ubiquitous means of multimedia visual communication that spanned medieval Europe. Urban heraldic practices defy assumptions about clearly demarcated social practices that belonged to 'high'/'noble' as opposed to 'low'/'urban' culture. Townspeople's perceptions of coats of arms paralleled those of the nobility, as they readily interpreted and carefully curated them as visual expressions of identity. These perceptions allowed townspeople of all ranks, as well as noble outsiders, to use heraldry and its display - along with its defacement and destruction - in manuscripts, spaces (such as town houses, public monuments, halls, and churches), and performances (like processions and joyous entries) to address perennial problems of urban society in the Middle Ages. The coats of arms of burgesses, guilds, and cities were communicative means of individual and collective representation, social and political legitimization, conducting and resolving conflicts, and the pursuit of elevated status in the urban hierarchy. Likewise, heraldic communication negotiated the all-important relationship between the city and wider, extramural society - from the commercial interests of citizens to their collective ties to the ruler.

Download or read book Boccaccio s Florence written by Elsa Filosa and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known as the author of the Decameron, Giovanni Boccaccio is a key figure in Italian literature. In the mid-fourteenth century, however, Boccaccio was also deeply involved in the politics of Florence and the extent of his involvement steered and inspired his work as a writer. Boccaccio’s Florence explores the financial, political, and social turbulence of Florence at this time, as well as the major players in literary and political circles, to understand the complex ways they emerged in Boccaccio’s writing. Based on extensive archival research and close reading of Boccaccio’s works, the book aims to recover the dynamics of the Florentine conspiracy of 1360 and how this event affected Boccaccio’s writing, arguing that his works reveal clear references to this episode when read in light of the reconstructed historical context. In this rich and textured picture of the man in his time, Elsa Filosa documents a microhistory of connections and interconnections and offers new, more political and historically imbedded readings of Boccaccio’s seminal works.
Download or read book The Sensuous in the Counter Reformation Church written by Marcia B. Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the promotion of the sensuous as part of religious experience in the Roman Catholic Church of the early modern period. During the Counter-Reformation, every aspect of religious and devotional practice was reviewed, including the role of art and architecture, and the invocation of the five senses to incite devotion became a hotly contested topic. The Protestants condemned the material cult of veneration of relics and images, rejecting the importance of emotion and the senses and instead promoting the power of reason in receiving the Word of God. After much debate, the Church concluded that the senses are necessary to appreciate the sublime, and that they derive from the Holy Spirit. As part of its attempt to win back the faithful, the Church embraced the sensuous and promoted the use of images, relics, liturgy, processions, music, and theater as important parts of religious experience.

Download or read book Architectural Conservation Studio written by Calogero Bellanca and published by Sapienza Università Editrice. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a series of reflections on the study of architectural preexistences that have matured during the almost thirty-five years of study and research in Italy and Europe. Furthermore, it shows how the discipline of restoration of monuments is all based in architecture, intended in its many-faceted meanings. The methodical approach to the restoration of historic architecture consists in the historical-critical analysis, central nucleus of the study of architecture and is composed by specific in-depth thematic sessions (the historical iconography; the analysis of the constructive features; the constructive model; the volumetric layout; metrological and proportional analysis; the theme of the figurative model; the analysis of masonry; the theme of decorations; spolia and reemployed; comparisons, analogies and differences; the reading of the architectural organism through the synthesis of the monument in time). The author and his team have collected thematic essays on key issues that have great interest not only in Italy but also abroad. From the general concepts to examples of the application of Italian consolidated restoration methodology to the analysis and conservation of historic architecture.
