The Throne of the Great Mogul in Dresden
A masterful deciphering of an extraordinary art object, illuminating some of the biggest questions of the eighteenth century The Throne of the Great Mogul (1701–8) is a unique work of European decorative art: an intricate miniature of the court of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb depicted during the emperor’s birthday celebrations. It was created by the jeweler Johann Melchior Dinglinger in Dresden and purchased by the Saxon prince Augustus the Strong for an enormous sum. Constructed like a theatrical set made of gold, silver, thousands of gemstones, and amazing enamel work, it consists of 164 pieces that together tell a detailed story. Why did Dinglinger invest so much time and effort in ma...

Poetics and Politics
Far from teleological historiography, the pan-European perspective on Early Modern drama offered in this volume provides answers to why, how, where and when the given phenomena of theatre appear in history. Using theories of circulation and other concepts of exchange, transfer and movement, the authors analyze the development and differentiation of European secular and religious drama, within the disciplinary framework of comparative literature and the history of literature and concepts. Within this frame, aspects of major interest are the relationship between tradition and innovation, the status of genre, the proportion of autonomous and heteronomous creational dispositions within the artef...
Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance
For the first time, the pioneering book that launched the study of art and curiosity cabinets is available in English. Julius von Schlosser’s Die Kunst- und Wunderkammern der Spätrenaissance (Art and Curiosity Cabinets of the Late Renaissance) is a seminal work in the history of art and collecting. Originally published in German in 1908, it was the first study to interpret sixteenth- and seventeenth-century cabinets of wonder as precursors to the modern museum, situating them within a history of collecting going back to Greco-Roman antiquity. In its comparative approach and broad geographical scope, Schlosser’s book introduced an interdisciplinary and global perspective to the study of ...
Migration und Herabsetzung
Migrationsprozesse und die damit einhergehenden sozialen Konflikte in den Aufnahmegesellschaften sind mit vielgestaltigen Erscheinungsformen von Herabsetzung verknüpft. Diese finden nicht zuletzt in Literatur und Film Niederschlag, wo sie kritisch reflektiert und/oder reproduziert werden. Die Beiträger*innen nehmen literarische und filmische Einwanderungserzählungen aus Italien unter die Lupe, das seit den 1990er-Jahren stark durch Immigration geprägt ist. Mithilfe des Analysekonzepts der Invektivität zeigen sie paradigmatisch auf, wie auf migrierte Menschen bezogene Abwertungen und deren gesellschaftliche Effekte kulturell verhandelt werden.
Rethinking Gaspara Stampa in the Canon of Renaissance Poetry
Despite the fact that Gaspara Stampa (1523?-1554) has been recognized as one of the greatest and most creative poets and musicians of the Italian Renaissance, scholarship on her work has been surprisingly scarce and uncoordinated. In recent years, critical attention towards her work has increased, but until now there have been no anthologies dedicated solely to Stampa. Rethinking Gaspara Stampa in the Canon of Renaissance Poetry aims to set a foundation for further Stampa studies by accounting for her contributions to literature, music history, gender studies, the history of ideas, philosophy, and other areas of critical thought. This volume brings together an international group of interdis...
Glass in Architecture from the Pre- to the Post-Industrial Era
Glass is one of the most fascinating and versatile building materials in architectural history. The new insights into glass in architecture are the result of research at the intersection of glass production, construction technology and building culture. Coming from a variety of disciplines, the contributions bridge the divide between natural sciences, humanities and the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage. They explore the crucial role of flat glass in shaping architecture, particularly since the 18th century, and discuss the in-situ restoration of historic windows and glass façades and the importance of preserving this fragile heritage. The topics range from the manufacture o...
Die mediale Umwelt der Migration
Migration ist eine der zentralen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit. Sie ist allgegenwärtig in medialen Repräsentationen, mithilfe derer gesellschaftliche Diskussion emotionalisiert, plausibilisiert oder moderiert wird - sei es in Kinofilmen, Romanen, Talkshows, Kunstaktionen oder Tageszeitungen. Der Band stellt mediale Potenziale auf den Prüfstand: Welche Deutungsangebote werden lanciert, welche Narrationen, politischen Maßnahmen und Emotionspolitiken werden hergestellt, unterstützt oder entkräftet? Über die Analyse der Rückkopplungen zwischen realen Problemlagen und medialen Deutungen helfen die Beiträge, aktuelle kulturelle Aushandlungsprozesse besser zu verstehen.
