Artistic Practices and Cultural Transfer in Early Modern Italy
For too long, the ?centre? of the Renaissance has been considered to be Rome and the art produced in, or inspired by it. This collection of essays dedicated to Deborah Howard brings together an impressive group of internationally recognised scholars of art and architecture to showcase both the diversity within and the porosity between the ?centre? and ?periphery? in Renaissance art. Without abandoning Rome, but together with other centres of art production, the essays both shift their focus away from conventional categories and bring together recent trends in Renaissance studies, notably a focus on cultural contact, material culture and historiography. They explore the material mechanisms fo...
The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film
In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication, hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, comic strips, films, and television series with gay detecti...
The Bible of Clay
Among rumors of Iraq's imminent invasion, time is running out for Clara and her husband Ahmed who have put together a ragtag team of renegade archaeologists and inexperienced students to excavate the Bible of Clay from deep within the heart of Iraq. These clay tablets predate the Bible by a thousand years and could be one of the most important discoveries of all time, only another far more sinister team is determined to get there first--a team that has roots that reach deeply into the horrors of Nazi Germany.--From publisher's description.
Italy and the Cultural Politics of World War I
Italy and the Cultural Politics of World War I dialogues with the variety of texts recently published to commemorate the Great War. It explores Italian socialist pacifism, the role of women during the conflict and a dominant cultural movement, Futurism, whose leader, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, glorified war and enlisted in the fight. Other soldiers created documents about the war that differ from the heroic and virile endeavor that Marinetti placed at the center of his works on war. Italy and the Cultural Politics of World War I pays attention to the representations of the soldiers through an analysis of their letters, dominated by descriptions of the terrible hunger they suffered. In contra...
La Bíblia de fang
Després de l'espectacular èxit de La germandat del Sant Sudari, Julia Navarro es consagra amb aquesta novel·la electritzant, en la qual el lector viatjarà fins als temps bíblics passant per l'Europa de la Segona Guerra Mundial, Egipte, Síria, els Estats Units, Itàlia, França, Espanya i l'Iraq de Saddam. A Roma, un home es confessa: «Pare, m'acuso perquè mataré un home...». Al mateix temps Clara Tannenberg, una jove arqueòloga néta d'un home poderós amb un passat fosc, anuncia en un congrés el descobriment d'unes tauletes que, si són autèntiques, seran la prova científica de l'existència del patriarca Abraham: és l'obra d'un escriba que va recollir el relat del profeta so...
