France After Revolution
Davidson provides a reevaluation of prevailing views on the effects of the French Revolution, and particularly on the role of women. Arguing against the idea that women were forced from the public realm of political discussion, Davidson demonstrates how women remained highly visible and active.
Les débuts de la gravure sur cuivre en France
L'essor pris par l'imprimerie et le livre illustré à Lyon au XVIe siècle est aujourd'hui pleinement établi, ne serait-ce qu'au regard de l'œuvre d'un Bernard Salomon. Néanmoins, le rôle qu'y joue la gravure sur cuivre, d'évidence considérable compte tenu des estampes conservées, demeurait méconnu. Sur la base de ce constat, Estelle Leutrat étudie un centre de production de la gravure en taille-douce qui fut parmi les plus actifs en France de 1520 à 1565 environ. Son corpus réunit principalement les estampes du Maître JG (autrefois identifié à Jean de Gourmont), de Georges Reverdy et du Maître CC, dont la production respective atteste à sa manière des débats intellectuels et religieux de l'époque. L'intérêt que porte l'auteur aux pratiques des graveurs, depuis les techniques de taille jusqu'au choix des modèles, confirme une fois encore la large circulation de formes entre la France, l'Italie et les Pays du Nord. L'étude de ces œuvres, qui connurent un rayonnement européen, enrichit profusément notre connaissance de la vie artistique lyonnaise au XVIe siècle.
Architectures of Russian Identity, 1500 to the Present
From the royal pew of Ivan the Terrible, to Catherine the Great's use of landscape, to the struggles between the Orthodox Church and preservationists in post-Soviet Yaroslavl—across five centuries of Russian history, Russian leaders have used architecture to project unity, identity, and power. Church architecture has inspired national cohesion and justified political control while representing the claims of religion in brick, wood, and stone. The architectural vocabulary of the Soviet state celebrated industrialization, mechanization, and communal life. Buildings and landscapes have expressed utopian urges as well as lofty spiritual goals. Country houses and memorials have encoded their ow...

Ancestral Knowledges and Postcoloniality in Contemporary Ecuador
In light of an unprecedented constitutional acknowledgement of diverse epistemologies and stipulation making the protection and advancement of so-called 'ancestral knowledges' a duty of the state, this research provides an analysis of the uptake of historically subalternised knowledges by the state during the government of Rafael Correa (2007-2017), as well as of the strive for epistemic justice by peoples and nationalities' organisations in the context of struggles for social change, decolonisation, and self-determination. On the basis of rich empirical material, the analysis traces state discourses and practices and mechanisms to govern 'ancestral knowledges' in the framework of the govern...
The Brussels Horloge de Sapience: Iconography and Text of Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale, Ms. IV 111
The book discusses principally the iconography and text of a mid 15th century copy of the mystical treatise Horloge de Sapience in the most sumptuously illuminated ms. known of the text. Each of the 36 illuminations is discussed in turn, with reference to their pictorial traditions, to the French textual matter and to a unique contemporary commentary, called the Déclaration des hystoires. The Déclaration is one of the earliest essays in the history of art criticism to survive. The study is rendered useful for teachers and scholars by an English translation of the text of the Déclaration, which enables the reader to see the illustrations through the eyes of a 15th century critic.
