Beyond the Margins
Beyond the Margins explores the often-overlooked contributions of women to the art of manuscript illumination from the 8th century up to the threshold of the Baroque period. This comprehensive study sheds light on the creative lives of female artists working both within the confines of monastic scriptoria and in the more liberated context of secular workshops. From the nuns of Pontetetto in Italy, who used their illuminations to support reformist bishops, to the bold iconographic choices of secular artists like Jeanne de Montbaston and Bourgot Le Noir, the book explores the legacy these women left behind, culminating in a discussion of their influence on women engravers. Through detailed case studies, Beyond the Margins highlights the unique styles, techniques, and thematic innovations of female illuminators, offering fresh insights into their role within art history.
Desiderio e Interdizione. L'amore nella lirica europea da Guglielmo IX a Shakespeare
L’amore, forza creatrice e distruttrice, tra desiderio e interdizione, è al centro della lirica europea. In questa guida, Raffaele Pinto e Carla Rossi ci accompagnano in un viaggio esegetico attraverso le opere che hanno dato forma e voce all’eros, esplorandone le infinite sfumature. Dai trovatori, passando per Chrétien de Troyes e i romanzi cortesi in cui l'amore è estraneo al matrimonio, fino a Shakespeare, gli autori tracciano un percorso che attraversa secoli e confini, intrecciando temi universali come il desiderio inappagato, la trasgressione e il rapporto tra amore e morte. Attraverso un’analisi attenta e appassionata, il libro mette in luce come l’amore in poesia sia insieme sublimazione e ribellione, affermazione dell’individuo e sottomissione a leggi superiori.
Media and Politics
Media and politics have always been mutually influential. The media plays an important political role of its own in promoting and discussing policies, as well as conveying representations of power and ideology. On the other hand, media outlets are themselves subject to political forces that have an impact on their editorial line. This mutual influence comes to light not only in journalistic practices, but also in how news is constructed and conveyed. This volume explores the relations between politics and various types of media as expressed in different areas of the world, namely Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. Such a complex landscape calls for a multiplicity of analytical tools and cannot ignore specific socio-political, geographic, linguistic, and cultural contexts which may be overlooked when approached from a global perspective. In this volume, a combination of senior scholars and young experts from a wide range of disciplines, such as discourse analysis, international relations, and cultural studies, come together in a conversation which recognizes the media as a global phenomenon without neglecting its local specificities.
