Grotesque and Performance in the Art of Aubrey Beardsley

  • Categories: Art

“If I am not grotesque, I am nothing.” This insightful study illuminates previously unexplored aspects of Aubrey Beardsley’s relationship to the grotesque and his use of media, particularly his manipulation of the periodical press. For the first time and with keen intelligence, Evanghelia Stead fully reveals the aesthetic importance of Beardsley’s Bon-Mots vignettes, as well as the relationship between Darwinism, his innovative foetus motif, and Decadence itself. Beautifully illustrated throughout, the book calls on histories of culture and aesthetics to show how the artist reworked traditional imagery and manipulated it beyond recognition—revealing for instance the influence of ca...

Supramolecular Polymer Chemistry

Presenting the work of pioneering experts in this exciting field of supramolecular polymer chemistry, this monograph covers an extensive range of applications, including drug delivery and catalysis. It focuses on new structures and phenomena of cyclodextrin-based supramolecular polymers and many other compound classes. While providing a deeper insight in macromolecular recognition and the mechanisms of living systems, this book also introduces fascinating novel phenomena beyond natural systems.

Picturing the Language of Images

Picturing the Language of Images is a collection of thirty-three previously unpublished essays that explore the complex and ever-evolving interaction between the verbal and the visual. The uniqueness of this volume lies in its bringing together scholars from around the world to provide a broad synchronic and diachronic exploration of the relationship between text and image, as well as a reflection on the limits of representation through a re-thinking of the very acts of reading and viewing. While covering a variety of media—such as literature, painting, photography, film and comics—across time—from the 18th century to the 21st century—this collection also provides a special focus on the work of particular authors, such as A. S. Byatt, W. G. Sebald, and Art Spiegelman.

Armenia

  • Categories: Art

At the foot of Mount Ararat on the crossroads of the eastern and western worlds, medieval Armenians dominated international trading routes that reached from Europe to China and India to Russia. As the first people to convert officially to Christianity, they commissioned and produced some of the most extraordinary religious objects of the Middle Ages. These objects—from sumptuous illuminated manuscripts to handsome carvings, liturgical furnishings, gilded reliquaries, exquisite textiles, and printed books—show the strong persistence of their own cultural identity, as well as the multicultural influences of Armenia’s interactions with Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Muslims, Mongol...

Il peritesto visivo

Questo numero monografico di E|C parte da un’idea tanto semplice quanto, a nostro avviso, alla base di un ragionamento molto ampio che riguarda, in generale, la significazione dei testi a partire dagli elementi collocati nei pressi dei loro limiti, delle loro “frontiere”, delle loro cornici, delle loro soglie inglobanti. Si tratta quindi di indagare problemi topologici della significazione e conseguenti strategie di aspettualizzazione che un ele-mento periferico o ai margini della centralità del testo può avere sul testo stesso e sui suoi modi di esistenza. Abbiamo voluto chiamare genericamente tali problemi strategie di presentazione e, così facendo, abbiamo ritenuto pertinente riprendere la sintassi di Gerard Genette che proponeva un’articolazione tra testo, peritesto e paratesto, forzando gli ambiti originari più strettamente propri a questa terminologia.

Il senso delle soggettività

In un convegno dedicato alle Soggettività un laboratorio sul silenzio non poteva mancare: nel silenzio verso l’esterno si sviluppa infatti la percezione di sé e il dialogo con se stessi, condizioni per il costituirsi di quello spazio intimo denominato nella nostra cultura “interiorità”. Roland Barthes racconta che gli accadde quando da giovane, affetto da tubercolosi, trascorse dei periodi in sanatorio, dove per l’appunto era prescritta la cura del silenzio: passare alcune ore della giornata, in solitudine, a riposo o leggendo, senza parlare. Cura probabilmente ispirata alle regole monastiche, che ritroviamo in forma mitigata anche nelle prime classi di scuola (almeno, nei ricordi di chi scrive). Il silenzio, dunque, come forma più o meno radicale di ritiro simbolico dal mondo, dalla sua chiacchiera e dal suo esserci, avrebbe detto Heidegger: prove tecniche di meditazione sull’autenticità dell’essere (Isabella Pezzini)

Babylo minima

Italienische Literaten des 19. Jahrhunderts haben das Diktum von Mailand als einem "Babylo minima" - im Gegensatz zum "Babylo maxima" Paris - geprägt und damit die besondere Rolle Mailands im Italien des 19. Jahrhunderts wie auch die Problematik einer italienischen Stadtliteratur angesprochen. Mailand ist diejenige Stadt Italiens, die sich zu einer Metropole von annähernd europäischen Dimensionen entwickelt: der italienischen Literatur des Ottocento hingegen wurde in der Forschung bislang jegliche Urbanität abgesprochen. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die besondere, auch unter komparatistischer Fragestellung herausgearbeitete Entwicklung der italienischen Stadtliteratur im 19. Jahrhundert, ...
