Hospitals and Urbanism in Rome, 1200-1500
In Hospitals and Urbanism in Rome 1200 – 1500, Carla Keyvanian offers a new interpretation of the urban development of Rome during three seminal centuries by focusing on the construction of public hospitals. These monumental charitable institutions were urban expressions of sovereignty. Keyvanian traces the political reasons for their emergence and their architectural type in Europe around 1200. In Rome, hospitals ballasted the corporate image of social elites, aided in settling and garrisoning vital sectors and were the hubs around which strategies aimed at territorial control revolved. When the strategies faltered, the institutions were rapidly abandoned. Hospitals in areas of enduring significance instead still function, bearing testimony to the influence of late medieval urban interventions on modern Rome.
Shaping Authority
The cultural and religious history from Antiquity through the Renaissance may be read through the lens of the rise and demise of auctoritates.

In many cases, the way an authority's achievements were received and disseminated by their contemporaries and later generations, was the determining factor in the construction of their authority. This volume focuses on the latter aspect: what are the mechanisms and strategies by which participants in intelle...
Maraviglia
Lässt sich Kunstgeschichte als Geschichte von Rezeption – und deren Verweigerung – erzählen? Wie ist das Konzept von Rezeption gegenüber jenen von Wirkung und Einfluss zu positionieren? In welchem Verhältnis stehen Rezeption und Innovation? Von diesen Fragen geht der Band aus. Der in der Literaturwissenschaft seit den späten 1960er Jahren verbreitete Begriff der Rezeptionsgeschichte und der damit verbundene Ansatz sind für die kunsthistorische Forschung von großer Tragweite. Konzepte der Anverwandlung oder Aneignung von Artefakten, sei es unter religiösen, politisch-ideologischen, ästhetischen oder wissenschaftlichen Aspekten, wurden für das Fach bereits vielfach fruchtbar gema...
