Bodily Natures

How do we understand the agency and significance of material forces and their interface with human bodies? What does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably interconnected with our physical world? Bodily Natures considers these questions by grappling with powerful and pervasive material forces and their increasingly harmful effects on the human body. Drawing on feminist theory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Stacy Alaimo focuses on trans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundly altered our sense of self. By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, while considering the closeness of the human body to the environment.

The Council of Trent: Reform and Controversy in Europe and Beyond (1545-1700)

Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.

La ceramica postmedievale in Abruzzo. Materiali dallo scavo di Piazza Caporali a Castel Frentano (CH)

  • Categories: Art

Il volume nasce dal rinvenimento in Castel Frentano (centro abitato in provincia di Chieti) di resti di edifici, associato a materiale ceramico, nel corso dei lavori per la ristrutturazione di Piazza Caporali, e dunque dalla conseguente necessità di chiarirne l’epoca di costruzione e di demolizione, attraverso l’esecuzione di un saggio di scavo archeologico, anche se di modesta estensione. La ricostruzione storica proposta si è avvalsa sia della ricerca archeologica, applicata a contesti stratigrafici dal XVI al XIX sec. d.C., sia dell’analisi delle fonti storiche e dei documenti di archivio. Lo studio dei reperti ceramici di epoca postmedievale ha concorso a fare il punto della situazione, allo stato attuale delle conoscenze nella regione, nel tentativo di definire i centri di produzione nel quadro della circolazione e del consumo delle classi dei materiali esaminati. Il testo infine si arricchisce della descrizione puntuale e precisa dei reperti da Castel Frentano, coadiuvata da una restituzione grafica e da un aggiornato apparato bibliografico.
