World Christianity, Urbanization and Identity
World Christianity, Urbanization and Identity argues that urban centers, particularly the largest cities, do not only offer places for people to live, shop, and seek entertainment, but deeply shape people's ethics, behavior, sense of justice, and how they learn to become human. Given that religious participation and institutions are vital to individual and communal life, particularly in urban centers, this interdisciplinary volume seeks to provide insights into the interaction between urban change, religious formation, and practice and to understand how these shape individual and group identities in a world that is increasingly urban. World Christianity, Urbanization and Identity is part of the multi-volume series World Christianity and Public Religion. The series seeks to become a platform for intercultural and intergenerational dialogue, and to facilitate opportunities for interaction between scholars across the Global South and those in other parts of the world.

The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe
The Reception of Charles Dickens in Europe offers a full historical survey of Dickens's reception in all the major European countries and many of the smaller ones, filling a major gap in Dickens scholarship, which has by and large neglected Dickens's fortunes in Europe, and his impact on major European authors and movements. Essays by leading international critics and translators give full attention to cultural changes and fashions, such as the decline of Dickens's fortunes at the end of the nineteenth century in the period of Naturalism and Aestheticism, and the subsequent upswing in the period of Modernism, in part as a consequence of the rise of film in the era of Chaplin and Eisenstein. It will also offer accounts of Dickens's reception in periods of political upheaval and revolution such as during the communist era in Eastern Europe or under fascism in Germany and Italy in particular.

Visitar les arts del passat. Les exposicions retrospectives d’art a Catalunya, València i Mallorca entre 1867 i 1937
Les obres d’art han estat tradicionalment el resultat d’encàrrecs específics de clients i promotors. A Roma, a partir del segle XVII, es documenten les primeres exposicions públiques de pintures que mostren les capacitats dels artistes en actiu. Al segle XVIII, l’acadèmia organitza a París els Salons amb regularitat, que permeten els inicis de la crítica d’art. Caldrà esperar a la consolidació de la Revolució Industrial, cap a mitjan segle XIX, quan sorgeix la necessitat d’acostar art i indústria, per veure exposicions amb obres d’artistes i artesans ja desapareguts. Aquestes mostres, per distingir-se de les de belles arts o d’artistes vius, es van anomenar «exposici...
