Book excerpt: Atti della Giornata di Studi in ricordo di Graziella Berti, a otto anni dalla scomparsa. 11 Giugno 2021 – Meeting virtuale in diretta streaming “Storie (di) Ceramiche” è una giornata di studi dedicata alla memoria di Graziella Berti, studiosa di ceramica e figura importante per gli studi storici sulla Pisa medievale e moderna, venuta a mancare l’11 Giugno del 2013. Questa occasione, giunta alla sua ottava edizione, vuole ricordarla nella maniera che lei stessa avrebbe apprezzato di più: attraverso i temi a lei cari, l’innovazione della ricerca e le nuove generazioni di studiosi. L’ottava edizione, svoltasi a otto anni dalla scomparsa della studiosa l’11 Giugno 2021 in diretta streaming su Facebook e YouTube a causa della pandemia COVID-19, è stata dedicata alle “Fonti scritte e iconografiche” utili all’analisi delle ceramiche di età medievale e moderna. Sin dalle prime ricerche in collaborazione con Liana ed Ezio Tongiorgi, Graziella Berti ha affiancato l’indagine sui documenti a quella derivante dai dati materiali, grazie ad un dialogo costante tra fonti di ambito diverso unite da uno scopo comune: raccontare e descrivere le ceramiche al fine di conoscerne le datazioni, gli usi, la circolazione, le terminologie, le tecnologie, la produzione. Allo studio dei documenti di archivio si è unito anche quello iconografico, ugualmente importante per contestualizzare e datare gli oggetti ceramici, consentendo, inoltre, di inquadrarli nei costumi e nella cultura del loro tempo. Le ricerche contenute in questo volume offrono un ampio sguardo alla realtà mediterranea di età medievale e moderna, con interventi che dalle porzioni più occidentali (Spagna e Francia) giungono, tramite l’Italia e Malta, sino alle terre greche. Gli argomenti trattati permettono, tramite l’analisi delle fonti scritte e iconografiche e l’incrocio con i dati materiali, di ricostruire le dinamiche di uso, gusto, consumo, produzione, datazione, circolazione, terminologia, moda delle ceramiche in un lungo arco temporale.

Book excerpt: Atti della Giornata di Studi in ricordo di Graziella Berti, a cinque anni dalla scomparsa. 11 Giugno 2018 – Gipsoteca di Arte Antica piazza S. Paolo all’Orto n. 20 Pisa. “Storie (di) Ceramiche” è una giornata di studi dedicata alla memoria di Graziella Berti, studiosa di ceramica medievale e figura importante per gli studi storici sulla Pisa medievale e moderna, venuta a mancare l’11 Giugno del 2013. Questa occasione vuole ricordarla nella maniera che lei stessa avrebbe apprezzato di più: attraverso i temi a lei cari, l’innovazione della ricerca e le nuove generazioni di studiosi. La quinta edizione, svoltasi l’11 Giugno 2018 a Pisa, a cinque anni dalla scomparsa della studiosa, è stata dedicata al tema delle “Tecnologie di produzione” intendendo in questa maniera ricordare l’impegno della studiosa nell’indagare le modalità di fabbricazione del vasellame, dalla cavatura dell’argilla alla tornitura, dalla decorazione degli oggetti sino alla cottura in fornace. Gli studi inseriti in questo volume, e presentati nel corso della quinta giornata di studi, offrono osservazioni sui metodi di fabbricazione ricavati sia dalle ceramiche rinvenute negli scavi come scarti di fornace, che dagli attrezzi utilizzati dai vasai o dalle stesse fornaci dove la ceramica veniva cotta. Attraverso analisi materiali, archeometriche e sperimentali, e tramite l’intreccio di fonti scritte, materiali ed etnografiche, vengono ricostruiti i metodi di lavoro e le tecniche utilizzate nelle botteghe, le abitudini dei vasai, i modi di tornire e decorare gli oggetti, le eventuali sperimentazioni, le trasmissioni tecnologiche tra centri diversi.

Download or read book Framing the Early Middle Ages written by Chris Wickham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman empire tends to be seen as a whole whereas the early middle ages tends to be seen as a collection of regional histories, roughly corresponding to the land-areas of modern nation states. As a result, early medieval history is much more fragmented, and there have been few convincing syntheses of socio-economic change in the post-Roman world since the 1930s. In recent decades, the rise of early medieval archaeology has also transformed our source-base, but this has not been adequately integrated into analyses of documentary history in almost any country. In Framing the Early Middle Ages Chris Wickham combines documentary and archaeological evidence to create a comparative history of the period 400-800. His analysis embraces each of the regions of the late Roman and immediately post-Roman world, from Denmark to Egypt. The book concentrates on classic socio-economic themes, state finance, the wealth and identity of the aristocracy, estate management, peasant society, rural settlement, cities, and exchange. These give only a partial picture of the period, but they frame and explain other developments. Earlier syntheses have taken the development of a single region as 'typical', with divergent developments presented as exceptions. This book takes all different developments as typical, and aims to construct a synthesis based on a better understanding of difference and the reasons for it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feminism has transformed the academic study of literature, fundamentally altering the canon of what is taught and setting new agendas for literary analysis. In this authoritative history of feminist literary criticism, leading scholars chart the development of the practice from the Middle Ages to the present. The first section of the book explores protofeminist thought from the Middle Ages onwards, and analyses the work of pioneers such as Wollstonecraft and Woolf. The second section examines the rise of second-wave feminism and maps its interventions across the twentieth century. A final section examines the impact of postmodernism on feminist thought and practice. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the history and development of feminist literary criticism and a lively reassessment of the main issues and authors in the field. It is essential reading for all students and scholars of feminist writing and literary criticism.

Download or read book Obsolete Objects in the Literary Imagination written by Francesco Orlando and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated here into English for the first time is a monumental work of literary history and criticism comparable in scope and achievement to Eric Auerbach’s Mimesis. Italian critic Francesco Orlando explores Western literature’s obsession with outmoded and nonfunctional objects (ruins, obsolete machinery, broken things, trash, etc.). Combining the insights of psychoanalysis and literary-political history, Orlando traces this obsession to a turning point in history, at the end of eighteenth-century industrialization, when the functional becomes the dominant value of Western culture. Roaming through every genre and much of the history of Western literature, the author identifies distinct categories into which obsolete images can be classified and provides myriad examples. The function of literature, he concludes, is to remind us of what we have lost and what we are losing as we rush toward the future.
