La imatge de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat
Volum col·lectiu, bellament il·lustrat, preparat amb motiu de l’estudi tècnic que es va fer l’any 2001 sobre les característiques materials de la talla de fusta de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, venerada en aquest Santuari des dels segles XII – XIII. Inclou una minuciosa descripció de la imatge, recerques sobre els orígens de les marededéus romàniques i sobre el lloc que hi ocupa la talla de Montserrat, i importants contribucions sobre aquesta imatge a través de la documentació i de la història. Finalment, s’hi inclou l’informe que els tècnics van redactar sobre l’anàlisi i la restauració de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, acompanyat de fotografies adients i de radiografies. Bell conjunt que, com diu l’abat Josep M. Soler al seu pròleg, resol molts problemes plantejats, però que a vegades en presenta de nous i estimula a continuar endavant en l’estudi de la història de Montserrat i de la seva imatge.
Discovery of El Greco
Originally published in Dutch and translated to Spanish for the fourth centenary celebration of the death of El Greco in 2014, this book is a comprehensive study of the rediscovery of El Greco -- seen as one of the most important events of its kind in art history. The Nationalization of Culture versus the Rise of Modern Art analyses how changes in artistic taste in the second half of the nineteenth century caused a profound revision of the place of El Greco in the artistic canon. As a result, El Greco was transformed from an extravagant outsider and a secondary painter into the founder of the Spanish School and one of the principle predecessors of modern art, increasingly related to that of ...
Staging and the Arts in Nineteenth-Century France
This book discusses the mechanisms and patterns of staging in nineteenth-century France. Often associated with theatre and performance, staging also applies to visual arts. It is thoroughly embedded in a more general cultural development comprising the dissemination of knowledge, political awareness and consumerism. The notion of staging applies to a process of appearing, revealing and disappearing that puts forward new ways for the individual to be seen and to make the self (and the other) visible. Staging determines and questions the process of appearing and disappearing by generating connections and interactions between multiple layers of reality (i.e., artistic, theatrical, literary, and visual) – but according to what criteria, through what mechanisms and with what materials? What are the repercussions of staging, and, even more important, what does staging not show? This book argues that the notion of staging goes beyond interdisciplinarity. Looking at the different ways staging was used and conceived introduces new approaches to understanding visual culture in nineteenth-century France.
Hearing Faith
Hearing Faith explores the ways Roman Catholics in the seventeenth-century Spanish Empire used music to connect faith and hearing. From the Royal Chapel in Madrid to Puebla Cathedral in colonial Mexico, communities celebrated Christmas and other feasts with villancicos, a widespread genre of vernacular poetry and devotional music. A large proportion of villancico texts directly address the nature of hearing and the power of music to connect people to God. By interpreting complex and fascinating examples of “music about music” in the context of contemporary theological writing, the book shows how Spanish Catholics embodied their beliefs about music, through music itself. Listening closely to these previously undiscovered and overlooked archival sources reveals how Spanish subjects listened and why.
Envisioning Others: Race, Color, and the Visual in Iberia and Latin America
Envisioning Others offers a multidisciplinary view of the relationship between race and visual culture in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world, from the kingdoms of Spain and Portugal to colonial Peru and Colombia, post-Independence Mexico, and the pre-Emancipation United States. Contributed by specialists in Latin American and Iberian art history, literature, history, and cultural studies, its ten chapters take a transnational view of what ‘race’ meant, and how visual culture supported and shaped this meaning, within the Ibero-American sphere from the late Middle Ages to the modern era. Case studies and regionally-focused essays are balanced by historiographical and theoretical offerings for a fresh perspective that challenges the reader to discern broad intersections of race, color, and the visual throughout the Iberian world. Contributors are Beatriz Balanta, Charlene Villaseñor Black, Larissa Brewer-García, Ananda Cohen Suarez, Elisa Foster, Grace Harpster, Ilona Katzew, Matilde Mateo, Mey-Yen Moriuchi, and Erin Kathleen Rowe.

Un santcrist d'ivori de Miquel Àngel Buonarroti?
L’autor, catedràtic emèrit de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, proposa d’atribuir a Miquel Àngel un Santcrist d’ivori que es troba a l’altra major de Montserrat. L’estudi ha estat concebut com una recerca científica comparativa de tots i cadascun dels més petits detalls d’aquest Santcrist amb els detalls corresponents de les seves obres autèntiques (fins i tot d’atribució recent). L’obra, molt il lustrada, es publica també amb el text italià a fi que pugui arribar a un públic més ampli.
Avenging Nature
“Nature, thou art my goddess”—Edmund’s bold assertion in King Lear could easily inspire and, at the same time, function as a lamentation of the inadequate respect of nature in culture. In this volume, international experts provide multidisciplinary exploration of the insubordinate representations of nature in modern and contemporary literature and art. The work foregrounds the need to reassess how nature is already, and has been for a while, striking back against human domination. From the perspective of literary studies, art, history, media studies, ethics and philosophy, and ethnology and anthropology, Avenging Nature highlights the need of assessing insurgent discourses that—con...
