Download or read book A Companion to Early Modern Rome 1492 1692 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Bainton Prize for Reference Works This volume, edited by Pamela M. Jones, Barbara Wisch, and Simon Ditchfield, focuses on Rome from 1492-1692, an era of striking renewal: demographic, architectural, intellectual, and artistic. Rome’s most distinctive aspects--including its twin governments (civic and papal), unique role as the seat of global Catholicism, disproportionately male population, and status as artistic capital of Europe--are examined from numerous perspectives. This book of 30 chapters, intended for scholars and students across the academy, fills a noteworthy gap in the literature. It is the only multidisciplinary study of 16th- and 17th-century Rome that synthesizes and critiques past and recent scholarship while offering innovative analyses of a wide range of topics and identifying new avenues for research. Committee's statement "The volume includes a multidisciplinary study of early modern Rome by focusing on the 16th and 17th centuries by re-examining traditional topics anew. This volume will be of tremendous use to scholars and students because its focus is very well conceptualized and organized, while still covering a breadth of topics. The authors celebrate Rome’s diversity by exploring its role not only as the seat of the Catholic church, but also as home to large communities of diplomats, printers, and working artisans, all of whom contributed to the city’s visual, material, and musical cultures".

This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space, Place, and Motion: Locating Confraternities in the Late Medieval and Early Modern City offers the first sustained comparative examination of the relationship between confraternal life and the spaces of the late medieval and early modern city. By considering cities large (Rome) and small (Aalst) in regions as disparate as Ireland and Mexico, the essays collected here seek to uncover the commonalities and differences in confraternal practice as they played out on the urban stage. From the candlelit oratory to the bustling piazza, from the hospital ward to the festal table, from the processional route to the execution grounds, late medieval and early modern cities, this interdisciplinary book contends, were made up of fluid and contested ‘confraternal spaces.’ Contributors are: Kira Maye Albinsky, Meryl Bailey, Cormac Begadon, Caroline Blondeau-Morizot, Danielle Carrabino, Andrew Chen, Ellen Decraene, Laura Dierksmeier, Ellen Alexandra Dooley, Douglas N. Dow, Anu Mänd, Rebekah Perry, Pamela A.V. Stewart, Arie van Steensel, and Barbara Wisch.

Download or read book Recasting the Social in Citizenship written by Engin F. Isin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2008-11-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous notions of what constitutes "citizenship" within a country have been steadily challenged by the movement towards a globalized world. Examining the everyday habits of citizens and non-citizens, the contributors to Recasting the Social in Citizenship show how citizenship has increasingly been determined by social behaviours rather than by civil or political affiliations. Broadening the debate by interpreting the social not only as rights and privileges, but also as everyday struggles, this volume offers studies that range from environmental and security issues to transnational migration and military transformations. It further discusses debates over multiculturalism and integration and takes a fresh look at how social activities such as eating, commuting, smoking, as well as sexual habits of citizens and non-citizens have become increasingly governed by the state. Tracing developments in politics and social actions that have bound together citizens and non-citizens, Engin F. Isin and the volume's contributors explore the social sites that have become objects of government, and considers how these subjects are sites of contestation, resistance, differentiation and identification. In doing so, they provide significant insights into the changing states of citizenship and social governance, making Recasting the Social in Citizenship an engaging collection that will be of interest to sociologists, political scientists, and anyone with a concern about immigration and citizenship.

Download or read book Die R mische W lfin written by Maria R.- Alföldi and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden gmbh. This book was released on 2011 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English description: Conservation work on the iconic Lupa Capitolina in Rome during 1997-2000 showed that this world-famous bronze statue is - contrary to centuries-old conviction - not from the first half of the 5th century BC, but was made during the Middle Ages. Though substantiated by technological studies, this find sparked a fierce debate that is ongoing to this day. The three essays presented in this volume provide additional research. Edilberto Formigli presents the current state of technological and conservatorial research; Maria R.-Alfoldi follows the tracks of the original Lupa Romana to Constantinople, where the statue, on public display in Rome since 296 BC, probably was melted down after 1204 during the 4th Crusade; Johannes Fried investigates why the political image of the she-wolf was resurrected in medieval times. German text with full English translation. German description: Im Zuge der Restaurierungsmaanahmen der LUPA CAPITOLINA zu Rom in den Jahren 1997-2000 zeigte sich, daa diese weithin bekannte symboltrachtige Bronzeskulptur entgegen der Jahrhunderte alten Uberzeugung nicht etwa in der ersten Halfte des 5. Jahrhunderts v. Chr., sondern im Mittelalter entstanden ist. Auf diese, durch technologische Untersuchungen gut abgesicherte Feststellung folgte eine noch immer andauernde heftige Diskussion. Im diesem Sitzungsbericht erscheinen drei Beitrage dazu: Edilberto Formigli stellt den aktuellen Stand der technologisch-restauratorischen Forschung dar. Maria R.-Alfoldi verfolgt die Spuren der urspruenglichen LUPA ROMANA bis nach Konstantinopel, wo diese im Jahre 296 v. Chr. in Rom aufgestellte Bronzegruppe aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach 1204 im Laufe des 4. Kreuzzuges eingeschmolzen wurde, und stellt Uberlegungen zu ihrer Bedeutung fuer Rom an. Johannes Fried geht der Frage nach, warum im Mittelalter politisch bedingt wieder auf die Figur der Wolfin zurueckgegriffen wurde, wobei sich vollig neue Aspekte fuer die LUPA CAPITOLINA abzeichnen. Wegen der historisch-kulturhistorischen Bedeutung des Themas wurde eine komplette englische Ubersetzung beigelegt, die Carola Murray-Seegert erstellt hat.

Download or read book The Place of Narrative written by Marilyn Aronberg Lavin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-12-15 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking at more than two hundred Italian medieval and Renaissance mural cycles, Lavin examines—with the aid of computer technology—the "rearranged" chronologies of familiar religious stories found therein. "Like many masterpieces, Lavin's book builds upon a simple idea . . . it is possible to do a computer analysis of . . . visual narratives. . . . This is the first computer-based study of the visual arts of which I am aware that illustrates how those technologies can utterly transform the study of old master art. An extremely important book, one likely to become the most influential recent study of art of this period, The Place of Narrative is also a beautiful artifact."—David Carrier, Leonardo "Covering over a millennium and dealing with the whole of Italy, Lavin makes pioneering use of new methodology employing a computer database . . . [and] novel terminology to describe the disposition of scenes of church and chapel walls. . . . We should recognize this as a book of high seriousness which reaches out into new areas and which will fruitfully stimulate much thought on a neglected subject of very considerable significance."—Julian Gardner, Burlington Magazine

Download or read book The Life of Cola Di Rienzo written by Alberto Maria Ghisalberti and published by PIMS. This book was released on 1975 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Cola di Rienzo is an anonymous eye-witness biography of Cola di Rienzo, a romantic visionary who led a popular revolution against the rapacious and tyrannical barons of medieval Rome. It vividly describes Cola's brief, tragi-comic reign as "Tribune" of a "restored Roman republic" in 1347, his subsequent pilgrimage to the imperial court at Prague and the papal court at Avignon, his return to Rome as Papal Senator in 1354, and his gruesome death at the hands of a Roman mob two months after his restoration. The chronicler paints a memorable picture of the squalor, the degradation, and the unquenchable vainglory of medieval Rome, presenting us with a clear-eyed, though at times gleefully malicious, view of his protagonists, both noble and ignoble. The society he describes is wracked with poverty, violence and disease, and he is painfully aware of the great gulf separating it and the grandeur of ancient Rome; but he never abandons his high hopes for the possibilities of human heroism. The chronicler writes in the vigorous Romanesco dialect of medieval Italian; the naive surface of his style only partly conceals an astonishingly artful technique of narration, description, and characterization. Especially striking are his accounts of Cola's epic battle with the barons at the Tiburtine Gate, the execution of the Provencal adventurer Fra Morreale, and Cola's horrifying death. The Life of Cola di Rienzo, sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilariously obscene, always fascinating, is here offered for the first time in a complete translation for the English-speaking reader.
