Writing Visual Histories
What can visual artifacts tell us about the past? How can we interpret them rigorously, weaving their formal and material qualities into rich social contexts to reach wider historical conclusions? Unfolding key historiographical and methodological issues, Writing Visual Histories equips students to answer these questions, showing visual analysis to be a key skill in historical research. A multifaceted structure makes this a practical guide for writing and reflecting on visual histories. A first section includes six case studies -- on topics ranging from medieval heraldry to Life magazine. These examples are followed by an exploration of essential concepts that inform historical thinking about visual matters, a treatment of disciplinary practices, and discussion of the practicalities (such as accessing museum collections and organising permissions) that scholars working with visual sources have to navigate. This book is an invaluable tool kit for opening up a historical understanding of visual phenomena and practices of looking, and for writing that takes an integrated approach to studies of the past.
Pain Like a Mountain
Sitting on my porch one evening, At the setting of the sun: I reflected on my day: and the thought Of facing, another night of pain. As I reflected: My eyes were suddenly drawn to a mountain. I never really took notice of before: Florence Grant knows that no matter how dark our nights, God speaks to us through our pain and inspires us, no matter our age, the place, or time in our lives. All we have to do is listen to that still, small voice inside. In a debut compilation of inspirational poems, Grant shares reflections intended to lift up anyone enduring pain or sleepless nights, feeling down or struggling to find their way, or seeking new love or lost love. Grant explores diverse topics such as the rare beauty found in nature, the memories of yesteryear, the puzzle of life, membership on heaven's roll, the day Simon met Jesus, and much more that includes touching lyrical messages for discouraged pastors and praying parents. Pain Like a Mountain is a volume of inspirational poems that leads believers down a spiritual path into one woman's heart as she reflects on life, death, love, and faith.
Where Words and Images Meet
Why do we put bookplates in books in our personal libraries? Why do we keep photographs? How do popular illustrated journals and magazines function? Bringing together a fascinatingly diverse yet closely related group of subjects, Where Words and Images Meet encourages us to think about all this and much, much more: it asks us to rethink what we know about words and images and how they interact. From 19th century frontispieces to Soviet photo scrapbooks, from the relationships between portraits and biographies to museum labels, the book's richly illustrated chapters by established scholars in a range of interrelated fields open up historically specific relationships between word and image to ...
