Folklore and Nationalism in Europe During the Long Nineteenth Century

In Light of Rome
This comprehensive study of Rome’s contribution to the early history of photography traces the medium’s rise from a fledgling science to a dynamic form of artistic expression that forever changed the way we perceive the Eternal City. The authors examine the diverse transnational group of photographers who thrived in the cosmopolitan art center of Rome—and the pivotal role they played in the refinement and technical development of the nascent medium in the nineteenth century. The book ranges from the earliest pioneers—the French daguerreotypist Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey and the Welsh calotypist Calvert Richard Jones—to the work of the Roman School of Photography and its su...
Globalizing the Avant-Garde
How has the process of globalization shaped artistic practices on the one hand, and art history and theory on the other? The contributions in this volume approach this question from a range of perspectives, taking into account the role of travel, for example, or practitioners’ increasing knowledge of other cultures, art’s increasing awareness of itself as existing on a global level, literary translation, the advance of technology, and the ever-changing grand narratives of art history. As well as reflections on European avant-gardes and neo-avant-gardes, the collection features discussions of Japan, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. As a whole, the volume engages with broader current discourses about cultural globalization, and features input from leading scholars around the world as well as some important novel interventions by early-career researchers. The authors not only make a major contribution to the evolution of avant-garde studies, but also offer valuable, original points of view to art history and to the cultural theory of globalization more broadly.

L'Africa e il mondo
a cura di Francois-Xavier Favelle e Anne Lafont Una storia mondiale dell'Africa, una storia africana del mondo. Portando alla luce il dialogo che le società del continente hanno sempre intrattenuto con il resto del mondo, da Lucy a Black Lives Matter, questo libro lancia una doppia sfida. Non solo l'Africa ha una storia, ma – a volte suo malgrado – è stata al centro delle vicende del mondo, dall'Antico Egitto alle guerre mondiali, dal traffico di oro e avorio allo sfruttamento di coltan e cobalto. Per superare gli stereotipi culturali di "culla dell'umanità", di serbatoio di milioni di uomini incatenati nelle navi negriere, François-Xavier Fauvelle e Anne Lafont orchestrano i contrib...
