Book excerpt: In this volume Giulia Zanon sheds new light on our grasp of social hierarchy and the possibilities for social mobility in pre-modern Italy. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach that combines deep archival research with a multitude of artistic and architectural artefacts, this work breaks new ground by contextualizing the part played by social relationships and the arts in publicly affirming and displaying the prestige of the middling sorts, the cittadini, in early modern Venice.

Download or read book LA PERSECUZIONE DEI GIUSTI PRESENZE UGONOTTE NELLA LETTERATURA DRAMMATICA DELL OTTOCENTO ITALIANO written by Giorgio Pannunzio and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'analisi condotta nel presente saggio (di tipo essenzialmente semasiologico) ha cercato di porre in evidenza come il testo vada ad inserirsi all'interno di un pi� generale interesse verso le vicende degli Ugonotti francesi, questi ultimi considerati rappresentativi - "ante litteram" - di quegli ideali di uguaglianza e di libert� che poi sarebbero stati anche il motore di certa parte democratica dell'intellettualit� risorgimentale italiana. Quella dei democratici, che dovettero soccombere di fronte alle istanze moderate di tipo cavouriano, fu una fazione sicuramente perdente, ma di certo non priva di spessore culturale e di impatto sociale, almeno a giudicare dalla pletora di drammi e di tragedie che seppe produrre a testimonianza dei propri ideali. Tale analisi � preceduta dalla disamina di alcuni drammi che presentarono al pubblico tematiche similari, per tentare di individuare una radice comune a cui anche l'ultimo autore esaminato, Gaetano Gattinelli, avrebbe poi fatto riferimento.

Download or read book Saints Miracles and Social Problems in Italian Renaissance Art written by Diana Bullen Presciutti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Diana Bullen Presciutti explores how images of miracles performed by mendicant saints-reviving dead children, redeeming the unjustly convicted, mending broken marriages, quelling factional violence, exorcising the demonically possessed-actively shaped Renaissance Italians' perceptions of pressing social problems related to gender, sexuality, and honor. She argues that depictions of these miracles by artists-both famous (Donatello, Titian) and anonymous-played a critical role in defining and conceptualizing threats to family honor and social stability. Drawing from art history, history, religious studies, gender studies, and sociology, Presciutti's interdisciplinary study reveals how miracle scenes-whether painted, sculpted, or printed-operated as active agents of 'lived religion' and social negotiation in the spaces of the Renaissance Italian city.

Download or read book New Saints in Late Mediaeval Venice 1200 1500 written by Karen E. McCluskey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the comparatively unknown cults of new saints in late-mediaeval Venice. These new saints were near-contemporary citizens who were venerated by their compatriots without official sanction from the papacy. In doing so, the book uncovers a sub-culture of religious expression that has been overlooked in previous scholarship. The study highlights a myriad of hagiographical materials, both visual and textual, created to honour these new saints by members of four different Venetian communities: The Republican government; the monastic orders, mostly Benedictine; the mendicant orders; and local parishes. By scrutinising the hagiographic portraits described in painted vita panels, written vitae, passiones, votive images, sermons and sepulchre monuments, as well as archival and historical resources, the book identifies a specifically Venetian typology of sanctity tied to the idiosyncrasies of the city’s site and history. By focusing explicitly on local typological traits, the book produces an intimate and complex portrait of Venetian society and offers a framework for exploring the lived religious experience of late-mediaeval societies beyond the lagoon. As a result, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Venice, lived religion, hagiography, mediaeval history and visual culture.

Download or read book Est Antigoriu written by Claudia Zedda and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Est Antigoriu è un viaggio in terra sarda, un mosaico di profumi, usi, tradizioni, folklore e sentimento isolano che dà forma all'isola esattamente come l'autrice la percepisce. E' lo stesso titolo a definire la terra sarda antica, nel fascino, nella cultura, nella gastronomia, nell'arte e nell'architettura, nei suoni e in quei sentimenti che sparpaglia come grano al vento, capace come s'è dimostrata di trattenere dell'antico solo il meglio. L'isola viene letta e riletta sotto diversi aspetti: con gli occhi di donna tradita, amata, protetta o esposta, con lo sguardo delle Dee che l'hanno abitata, rivivendo feste, attraversando malattie e cure, sognando della Sardegna di ieri e ripercorrendone la storia attraverso l'arte che al suo interno vide nascere, d'intreccio, di pittura, di foto.

Download or read book The Letters of St Antony written by Samuel Rubenson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book revolutionizes our understanding of the life and thought of the great anchorite father of the Egyptian desert. It is a signal contribution to our knowledge of Egyptian Christianity in the third and fourth centuries.—Birger Pearson, Institute for Antiquity and Christianity Samuel Rubenson, by means of a fresh analysis of the letters of St. Antony, exposes the distortion of the picture of early Christian monks as unlettered and primitive. Rubenson describes the desert monasteries as centers of theological reflection in Egypt, showing how they combined the speculative philosophy of the Greeks and the biblical tradition. Included in this volume is a new translation of the letters themselves, which are shown to be authentic and an important source for the study of the desert fathers and the early monastic tradition. The later image of Antony is demonstrated to be influenced by church politics of the latter part of the fourth century. Samuel Rubenson is Associate Professor at Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
