Augustine Beyond the Book

Briljante studente heel origineel!
"In 1926 richtte een aantal vrouwen uit de eerste feministische golf het Fonds Dr. Catharine van Tussenbroek op. Toen studeerden er nog maar weinig vrouwen. Vandaag zijn er meer vrouwelijke dan mannelijke studenten. Maar met zeventien procent vrouwelijke hoogleraren bungelt Nederland onderaan de internationale ranglijst. Al negentig jaar werkt het fonds aan versterking van de positie van vrouwen in de wetenschap. Meer dan duizend onderzoeksters zijn door een bijdrage van het fonds geholpen bij hun loopbaan, vooral in de vorm van reisbeurzen. Dit boek vertelt waar ze naartoe reisden, welke onderwerpen ze onderzochten en hoe ze dachten over vrouwen in de wetenschap. Twaalf interviews met bursalen en persoonlijke verhalen uit het archief kleuren de cijfers in. Zo ontstaat een bij vlagen ontroerend beeld van de positie van pionierende vrouwen in de wetenschap. De briljante studente uit de titel is inmiddels hoogleraar."--Back cover.
Negotiating Differences
This book explores the dynamics of peaceful coexistence in the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch Republic by tracing developments in illustrated religious literature. The highly controversial appropriation of textual and visual elements across confessional boundaries allows a close look at unexpectedly problematic confessional negotiations
The International Emblem
The emblem, a Renaissance literary genre which combined text and image, conveyed erudition, admonishment, propaganda, and piety with unparalleled concision and economy. It arose out of humanist circles in the early sixteenth century and quickly became established as a staple tool in religious, political, and social discourses across the major European languages. In recent years the emblem has come to be regarded by scholars working in all areas of the humanities and cultural studies as an interdisciplinary matrix of extraordinary utility in gaining insights into the mentalities and preoccupations of the early modern era. Within its apparently slender frame, the emblem embraces questions of f...

Borders and Borderlands in Contemporary Culture
It is entirely appropriate that this book should be produced in Dundalk. Located on the Northern rim of the Irish Pale, this town has straddled a border for centuries. Over the past thirty years, it has come to be closely identified with violent Republicanism both by the Unionist community in Northern Ireland and by Constitutional Nationalists in the South. Against such a hostile background academics attached to the Institute of Technology there have bravely confronted and interrogated these processes which have so blighted the history not only of Dundalk but of places and spaces throughout the world similarly located. In a wide-ranging series of articles, perhaps the strongest message to em...
Emblems and Impact Volume II
The art of the emblem is a pan-European phenomenon which developed in Western and Central Europe in the early modern period. It adopted meanings and motifs from Antiquity and the Middle Ages as part of a general humanistic impulse. Technological developments in printing that permitted the combination of letterpress with woodblock, and later copperplate, images, ensured that the emblem spread rapidly by way of printed collections. With time, emblematic ideas moved beyond Europe, conveying their insights and wisdom in the compact form of the book. These same books came to influence artists and designers working in the decoration of buildings, furniture, and household items, so that emblems ent...
Learned Love
Emblem books, which feature combinations of images and text with a moral lesson for the reader, grew out of the Renaissance and were most popular in the Netherlands. Enigmatic, erudite, and often pious, Dutch love emblems synthesized the traditions of European visual and literary arts--and in turn influenced architecture, painting, poetry, and interior design for centuries to come. Learned Love offers an introduction to this enthralling genre and celebrates the completion of Emblem Project Utrecht, an undertaking that digitized twenty-five of the most representative emblem books. This unprecedented volume explores the delicate network of visual motifs and textual mottos that characterize Dutch love emblems. Learned Love demonstrates how emblem books form a web of closely interrelated references, which the contributors liken to the Internet, and traces the cutting-edge digitization project from inception to finish. This book will interest anyone intrigued by the fruitful gray areas between image and text, scholarship and technology.
