"Religions teach their adherents how to see and feel at the same time, so learning to see is not a disembodied process but one hammered out on the forge of human need, social relations, and material practice. Therefore, religions may be studied through the lens of salient visual themes. This book tells a history of Catholic and Protestant Christianity since the sixteenth century by selecting visual themes that have shaped the development of the religion throughout the modern era. Chapters examine a variety of visual practices, including imagination, envisioning nationhood, the likeness of Jesus, modern art as a spiritual quest, the material life of words, and the importance of images for education, devotion, worship, and domestic life."--Provided by publisher.
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.

Può una scimmia arricchirsi quanto Warren Buffett? Per essere più produttivi bisogna lavorare meno? E l'imbarazzo… migliora il brainstorming? Che domande. Chiedetemi piuttosto se sono felice. E poi chiedetemi un quantum. Obiettivi. Traguardi. Bersagli. Set di freccette sognati da bambina. Insieme al felici e contenti. Per poi crescere mirando al ricchi e felici. E maturare il sano dubbio “ma ricchi da schifo non basterebbe? In questo vadememecum di riflessioni vergate a penna ironica e ben appuntita eppur sintetica e lieve, Marcella Manghi prende in rassegna vizi, vezzi e virtù delle tendenze più innovative e bizzarre del new way of working, declinando le ultime teorie del successo e...
