Artistic Reconfigurations of Rome

In Artistic Reconfigurations of Rome Kaspar Thormod examines how visions of Rome manifest themselves in artworks produced by international artists who have stayed at the city’s foreign academies. Structured as an alternative guide to Rome, the book represents an interdisciplinary approach to creating a dynamic visual history that brings into view facets of the city’s diverse contemporary character. Thormod demonstrates that when artists successfully reconfigure Rome they provide us with visions that, being anchored in a present, undermine the connotations of permanence and immovability that cling to the ‘Eternal City’ epithet. Looking at the work of these artists, the reader is invited to engage critically with the question: what is Rome today? – or perhaps better: what can Rome be?

Voices and Places

This dissertation challenges the conventional narrative of Danish colonial history by critiquing the predominant reliance on textual records and archives as primary carriers of historical knowledge. Through case studies focused on landscape and landscaping practices, it offers an alternative approach to understanding the past by actively engaging with material heritage in what is conceptualized as a vibrant archive. Utilizing interdisciplinary and practice-led methodologies, from cultural and memory studies to ecocriticism, the research examines and engages with colonial history through case studies in dialog with contemporary interlocutors. Emphasizing the dynamic nature of landscapes as vi...

This book presents the first sustained study of the stunning drawings of Roman ruins by Haarlem artist Maarten van Heemskerck (1498–1574; in Rome, 1532–ca. 1537). In three parts, Arthur J. DiFuria describes Van Heemskerck’s pre-Roman training, his time in Rome, and his use his ruinscapes for the art he made during his forty-year post-Roman phase. Building on the methods of his predecessors, Van Heemskerck mastered a dazzling array of methods to portray Rome in compelling fashion. Upon his return home, his Roman drawings sustained him for the duration of his prolific career. Maarten van Heemskerck’s Rome concludes with the first ever catalog to bring together all of Van Heemskerck’s ruin drawings in state-of-the-art digital photography.

Clothing and Identity in Early Modern Rome

This is the first book-length exploration of the clothes worn in early modern Rome and provides novel insights into the city of Rome during one of its most fascinating periods. It also challenges the notion – well-established in dress historical research on the early modern period – that one was supposed to dress solely according to one's social station; as Camilla Annerfeldt explores in great depth, this notion does not always seem to have been applicable to early modern Rome because of its very constitution. Using a range of primary sources from the Roman archives as well as texts of early modern writers, Clothing and Identity in Early Modern Rome presents a vivid account of the history of an early modern society, which will be helpful to historians of fashion, society, politics, material culture, and art, as well as everyone interested in the period when Rome was one of the dominant centres of Europe – culturally, socially, and politically.

Villes en ruine

Dans la mythologie gréco-latine comme dans la tradition judéo-chrétienne, les hommes ont subi des bouleversements qui les ont dépassés et dont les villes ont souvent constitué le théâtre, de l'Atlantide à Troie, de Sodome et Gomorrhe jusqu'au monde dévasté par les cavaliers de l'Apocalypse. C'est que l'histoire de nos villes est jalonnée d'événements traumatiques et de destructions, qu'il s'agisse de désastres naturels comme les tremblements de terre, les inondations, les éruptions volcaniques, ou bien de dévastations causées par l'homme, tels les guerres et les incendies. Ainsi les villes sont-elles le plus souvent des palimpsestes bâtis sur les ruines de mondes révolus. Selon les cas, les fragments, débris et décombres subsistants sont valorisés ou relégués, exaltés ou délaissés, remployés ou oubliés ; pour autant, ils ne cessent de marquer la culture matérielle et immatérielle, de susciter rêveries et fantasmes. On ne saurait donc s'étonner de la place que l'histoire de l'art occidental a accordée aux représentations des catastrophes, où les villes constituent bien souvent l'une des scènes privilégiées de la manifestation du désastre.
