Art fugitiu. Estudis d'art medieval desplaçat
Més enllà de qüestionables rentats de cara o d’algunes restauracions abusives, el perill de les obres d’art no rau en el canvi de lectura que se’n fa al llarg del temps sinó en l’oblit o en la negació del marc per al qual les obres van ser creades. Art fugitiu és un llibre que revisa aquesta realitat complexa. A través de les diferents aportacions que integra, recupera temes lligats a la mobilitat de les peces i a la seva entitat. La idea neix de les iniciatives vinculades al projecte Contextos per a l’art català medieval desplaçat (2009-2012) i a tot un conjunt d’altres projectes, precedents i actuals, del grup consolidat EMAC Romànic i Gòtic, de la Universitat de Bar...

Le Jardin des sens
Les monastères sont des lieux où les sens ont leur place pour peu qu'on ait acquis la douceur du coeur et la nudité du regard. On y goûte les instants et les jours dans le retour saisonnier des fêtes liturgiques. On y mange avec sobriété la nourriture des hommes pour mieux goûter celle de Dieu. Les cinq sens ont donc toute leur place dans la vie claustrale. C'est ce que montre avec élégance et érudition Nathalie Nabert, spécialiste du monachisme et de la tradition cartusienne, éclairant ainsi une dimension fondamentale de l'aventure spirituelle.
The Making of Modern Colombia
Colombia's status as the fourth largest nation in Latin America and third most populous—as well as its largest exporter of such disparate commodities as emeralds, books, processed cocaine, and cut flowers—makes this, the first history of Colombia written in English, a much-needed book. It tells the remarkable story of a country that has consistently defied modern Latin American stereotypes—a country where military dictators are virtually unknown, where the political left is congenitally weak, and where urbanization and industrialization have spawned no lasting populist movement. There is more to Colombia than the drug trafficking and violence that have recently gripped the world's atte...
Warm Flesh, Cold Marble
This brilliant book focuses on the aesthetic concerns of the two most important sculptors of the early 19th century, the great Italian sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) and his illustrious Danish rival Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844). Rather than comparing their artistic output, the distinguished art historian David Bindman addresses the possible impact of Kantian aesthetics on their work. Both artists had elevated reputations, and their sculptures attracted interest from philosophically minded critics. Despite the sculptors' own apparent disdain for theory, Bindman argues that they were in dialogue with and greatly influenced by philosophical and critical debates, and made many decisions in creating their sculptures specifically in response to those debates. Warm Flesh, Cold Marble considers such intriguing topics as the aesthetic autonomy of works of art, the gender of the subject, the efficacy of marble as an imitative medium, the question of color and texture in relation to ideas and practices of antiquity, and the relationship between the whiteness of marble and ideas of race.

Language, Self and Love
Renevey's dissertation argues that self-analysis and the investigation of self through mystic and religious thought and writings is not a modern trend. He shows how 12th-century commentators, such as William of St Thierry and St Bernard of Clairvaux, used the material of the Song of Songs to experiment with a language of love to express their mystical experiences and the discovery of their own selves'. The second part of the study traces the development of this experimentation in the commentaries of Richard Rolle, a 14th-century hermit.
