The Belvedere: 300 Years a Venue for Art
Anniversary publication of the Belvedere The Belvedere in Vienna epitomizes the changes that have taken place over the course of three centuries in the concept of what constitutes a museum. Originally built by Prince Eugene of Savoy to enhance his prestige as a prince, under Maria Theresa, the Upper Belvedere became one of the world’s first public museums. The idea of presenting Austrian art in an international context, which in 1903 motivated the establishment of the Modern Gallery in the Lower Belvedere, remains the key objective of this world-famous cultural institution. In this critical homage, renowned authors explore enduring questions that transcend the different epochs, such as : W...
Curating Differently
Exhibitionary spaces and curatorial strategies ideologically frame the encounter between art and its publics. For more than forty years, feminist art curating, as a practice of art interpretation and a politics of display, has intersected with the diverse area of feminist art historical research and feminist artistic practices. It is only recently, however, that a theorization of feminist art curating and feminist exhibition histories as a specific field of knowledge has emerged.Curating Differently is a collection of essays that offers critical perspectives on, and analyses of, the intersections of feminisms, art exhibitions, and curatorial spaces from the 1970s onward. It brings together c...
Citizens and Sodomites: Persecution and Perception of Sodomy in the Southern Low Countries (1400–1700)
The Southern Low Countries were among Europe’s core regions for the repression of sodomy during the late medieval period. As the first comprehensive study on sodomy in the Southern Low Countries, this book charts the prosecution of sodomy in some of the region’s leading cities, such as Bruges, Ghent and Antwerp, from 1400 to 1700 and explains the reasons behind local differences and variations in the intensity of prosecution over time. Through a critical examination of a range of sources, this study also considers how the urban fabric perceived sodomy and provides a broader interpretive framework for its meaning within the local culture.

Petrarchism at Work
The Italian scholar and poet Francesco Petrarch (1304–1374) is best remembered today for vibrant and impassioned love poetry that helped to establish Italian as a literary language. Petrarch inspired later Renaissance writers, who produced an extraordinary body of work regarded today as perhaps the high-water mark of poetic productivity in the European West. These "Petrarchan" poets were self-consciously aware of themselves as poets—as craftsmen, revisers, and professionals. As William J. Kennedy shows in Petrarchism at Work, this commitment to professionalism and the mastery of poetic craft is essential to understanding Petrarch’s legacy. Petrarchism at Work contributes to recent scho...
Bilder der Liebe
Der Liebesdiskurs der Frühen Neuzeit nimmt eine wichtige Position in zahlreichen literarischen und künstlerischen Werken ein. Dabei werden zentrale Fragestellungen der Gesellschaft verhandelt: das Verhältnis zwischen den Geschlechtern, zwischen Privatem und Öffentlichem und zwischen den gesellschaftlichen Institutionen. Für die vielfältigen Liebesmodelle - wie zum Beispiel Ehe, Konkubinat und homoerotische Beziehungen - lassen sich differenzierte künstlerische Repräsentationsformen finden. Die Beiträge in diesem Band zeigen: Illegitimes Begehren wird mitunter in ambivalenten Ikonographien verborgen und kann zwischen mehreren Bedeutungshorizonten oszillieren.
