The Materiality of Terracotta Sculpture in Early Modern Europe
Through meticulously researched case studies, this book explores the materiality of terracotta sculpture in early modern Europe. Chapters present a broad geographical perspective showcasing examples of modelling, firing, painting, and gilding of clay in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. The volume considers known artworks by celebrated artists, such as Luca della Robbia, Andrea del Verrocchio, Filipe Hodart, or Hans Reichle, in parallel with several lesser-studied terracotta sculptures and tin-glazed earthenware made by anonymous artisans. This book challenges arbitrary distinctions into the fine art and the applied arts, that obscured the image of artistic production in the early modern world. The centrality of clay in the creative processes of artists working with two- and three-dimensional artefacts comes to the fore. The role of terracotta figures in religious practices, as well as processes of material substitutions or mimesis, confirm the medium’s significance for European visual and material culture in general. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and material culture.

Moira Fradinger tracks the ways in which, since the early nineteenth century, fragments of Antigone's myth and tragedy have been persistently cannibalized and ruminated throughout South and Central America andthe Caribbean, quilted to local dramatic forms, revealing an archive of political thought about Latin America's het...
Guia Prático do Português Correto 3
Este livro aborda o assunto mais difícil de ser explicado da Língua Portuguesa: a sintaxe, a parte da gramática que estuda as relações entre os elementos da frase. Com as explicações fáceis e coerentes que lhe são características, Cláudio Moreno descreve as principais funções sintáticas e explica a regência de verbos, a concordância verbal, a colocação dos pronomes e, finalmente, a crase – um bicho-de-sete-cabeças para muita gente, que finalmente é desmistificado. Em vez de enunciar inúteis e desestimulantes regras gramaticais, Moreno prefere instrumentalizar o leitor a fazer sua própria interpretação dos fenômenos do Português, capacitando-o a corrigir os próprios erros e a usar as palavras corretamente. Você vai entender por que a concordância de "A maioria dos homens ficam vermelhos" não está errada, por que tanto "Fui eu que fiz" quanto "Fui eu quem fez" estão corretos – mas não "Fui eu quem fiz" –, e por que as pessoas usam "vende-se casas", quando deveriam preferir "vendem-se casas".

The Politics of Emotion
The Politics of Emotion explores the intersection of powerful emotional states—love, melancholy, grief, and madness—with gender and political power on the Iberian Peninsula from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. Using an array of sources—literary texts, medical treatises, and archival documents—Nuria Silleras-Fernandez focuses on three royal women: Isabel of Portugal (1428–1496), queen-consort of Castile; Isabel of Aragon (1470–1498), queen-consort of Portugal; and Juana of Castile (1479–1555), queen of Castile and its empire. Each of these women was perceived by their contemporaries as having gone "mad" as a result of excessive grief, and all three were related to Is...
