Formes Du Salut
Formes du salut invites you to privately discover seven sculptures and a painted panel from the Val Duchesse Abbey. These works are part of abbot Mignot's collection, they were bequeathed to the Royal Trust and were deposited at the Musée L. Via this book, the Museum wishes to highlight the conservation-restoration work carried out at the Institut royal du patrimoine artistique (IRPA), thanks to the Baillet Latour Fund: apart from its practical use, which guarantees the preservation, durability and transmission of this heritage for future generations, this intervention has made it possible to document the uses and history of the sculptures, often reworked according to the circumstances of their exhibition. Therefore, the share of these works in religious life and, more precisely, their role in the search for salvation by Christians, lies also at the heart of this book. Emmanuelle Mercier (IRPA), Erika Rabelo (IRPA) and Matthieu Somon (UCLouvain) have created a kind of religious art pragmatics and they reconstruct the inscription of the works in the religious life of the medieval period: the interactions were much livelier than their current presentation might lead one to believe!
Image and Incarnation
The doctrine of the Incarnation was wellspring and catalyst for theories of images verbal, material, and spiritual. Section I, “Representing the Mystery of the Incarnation”, takes up questions about the representability of the mystery. Section II, “Imago Dei and the Incarnate Word”, investigates how Christ’s status as the image of God was seen to license images material and spiritual. Section III, “Literary Figurations of the Incarnation”, considers the verbal production of images contemplating the divine and human nature of Christ. Section IV, “Tranformative Analogies of Matter and Spirit”, delves into ways that material properties and processes, in their effects on the beholder, were analogized to Christ’s hypostasis. Section V, “Visualizing the Flesh of Christ”, considers the relation between the Incarnation and the Passion.
Reading Catechisms, Teaching Religion
Reading Catechisms, Teaching Religion makes two broad arguments. First, the sixteenth century witnessed a fundamental transformation in Christians’, Catholic and Evangelical, conceptualization of the nature of knowledge of Christianity and the media through which that knowledge was articulated and communicated. Christians had shared a sense that knowledge might come through visions, images, liturgy; catechisms taught that knowledge of ‘Christianity’ began with texts printed on a page. Second, codicil catechisms sought not simply to dissolve the material distinction between codex and person, but to teach catechumens to see specific words together as texts. The pages of catechisms were visual—they confound precisely that constructed modern bipolarity, word/image, or, conversely, that modern bipolarity obscures what sixteenth-century catechisms sought to do.
Acta Conventus Neo-Latini Monasteriensis
Since 1971, the International Congress for Neo-Latin Studies has been organised every three years in various cities in Europe and North America. In August 2012, Münster in Germany was the venue of the fifteenth Neo-Latin conference, held by the International Association for Neo-Latin Studies. The proceedings of the Münster conference have been collected in this volume under the motto „ Litterae neolatinae, sedes et quasi domicilia rerum religiosarum et politicarum – Religion and Politics in Neo-Latin Literature”. Forty-five individual and five plenary papers spanning the period from the Renaissance to the present offer a variety of themes covering a range of genres such as history, literature, philology, art history, and religion. The contributions will be of relevance not only for scholarly readers, but also for an interested non-professional audience.

Woven Gold
Meticulously woven by hand with wool, silk, and gilt-metal thread, the tapestry collection of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, represents the highest achievements of the art form. Intended to enhance the king’s reputation by visualizing his manifest glory and to promote the kingdom’s nascent mercantile economy, the royal collection of tapestries included antique and contemporary sets that followed the designs of the greatest artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, Rubens, Vouet, and Le Brun. Ranging in date from about 1540 to 1715 and coming from weaving workshops across northern Europe, these remarkable works portray scenes from the bible, his...

Macht Und Makel Der Bilder
Images have always made a difference. Art as a carrier of religious, cultic or collective emotions has an important role to play in the transformation of the world. To be tainted by the stain of cult or idolatry, or to enable life and artworks in the first place, through the incarnation of ideas and the transcendent - this is the tension encapsulated in debate over the power of images to this day. They evoke horror and the sacred, and may also banish both. On numerous canvases from antiquity to modernity, this tension is critically striking in both religious and secular contexts. From ancient and Jewish sites as well as through Christian, Islamic and bourgeois evidence, a bridge is constructed all the way to our democratically or authoritatively shaped political present. Images of the authentic and betrayal through images - art, image controversy and cult prohibition in cultures since antiquity Weighing souls, the Last Judgement and the Resurrection - Jewish, Christian, profane and critical arguments Hopes and the plunge into hell in modernity: Crises, catastrophes and the Holocaust in the commemorative cultures of modernity
Sigmund Freuds figürliche Psychoanalyse
Sigmund Freuds Untersuchung des Moses von Michelangelo sowie seine Sammlung antiker Kleinskulpturen bieten, gemeinsam betrachtet, Elemente einer visuellen Psychoanalyse, die dem ikonoklastischen Grundzug dieser Wissenschaft widerspricht. Freud bezog seine Statuetten in die Behandlungspraxis ein und ließ sich auch selbst von ihnen inspirieren. Seine Sammlung, das zeigt dieser Band, ist ein Schlüssel für seine Wissenschaft des Unbewussten. Um ihre Wirkung zu nutzen, musste Freud diese Form der Behandlungspraxis verbergen, sie «verhüllen». Wenn man diese Motive berücksichtigt, ist zu erschließen, wie stark die Psychoanalyse als ein Ort der Befreiung von kulturellen Zwängen gedeutet werden kann: Freuds Beschäftigung mit dem Moses und seine Sammlung waren die Antipoden zum mosaischen Bilderverbot. Auf diese Weise konnte er den unterkundigen Bildern der Traumata einen Freiheitsraum vermitteln, in dem sich diese bewältigen ließen.
Sequências
Em Sequências, Júlio Castañon Guimarães põe em cena, de forma tensa, um paradigma construtivista bastante presente, entre nós, no panorama das artes visuais e também no da poesia. É tenso o gesto realizado pela poesia do autor mineiro porque tal paradigma comparece em seus poemas — não para ser repetido ou celebrado, e sim para ser encarado, desafiado e transformado. Afinal, nesta obra, o desejo de ordem e justeza não se diferencia do que é precário e inacabado. A linha do desenho que risca a superfície do papel tanto instaura limites quanto os torna indefinidos. Isso para não falar dos passos dados à noite que levam o caminhante a um destino desconhecido: "Quando o onde nã...
