Sacred Founders: Women, Men, and Gods in the Discourse of Imperial Founding, Rome Through Early Byzantium
ISBN: 9780520284012 / Angielski / Twarda / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Diliana Angelova argues that from the time of Augustus through early Byzantium, a discourse of sacred founders articulated in artwork, literature, imperial honors, and the built environment helped legitimize the authority of the emperor and his family. The discourse coalesced around the central idea, bound to a myth of origins, that imperial men and women were sacred founders of the land, mirror images of the empire s divine founders. When Constantine and his formidable mother Helena established a new capital for the Roman Empire, they initiated the Christian transformation of this discourse...

Ashes, Images, and Memories: The Presence of the War Dead in Fifth-Century Athens
ISBN: 9780199369072 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ashes, Images, and Memories argues that the institution of public burial for the war dead and images of the deceased in civic and sacred spaces fundamentally changed how people conceived of military casualties in fifth-century Athens. In a period characterized by war and the threat of civil strife, the nascent democracy claimed the fallen for the city and commemorated them with rituals and images that shaped a civic ideology of struggle and self-sacrifice on behalf of a unified community. While most studies of Athenian public burial have focused on discrete aspects of the...

Egypt in Italy: Visions of Egypt in Roman Imperial Culture
ISBN: 9781107040489 / Angielski / Twarda / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the appetite for Egyptian and Egyptian-looking artwork in Italy during the century following Rome's annexation of Aegyptus as a province. In the early imperial period, Roman interest in Egyptian culture was widespread, as evidenced by works ranging from the monumental obelisks, brought to the capital over the Mediterranean Sea by the emperors, to locally made emulations of Egyptian artifacts found in private homes and in temples to Egyptian gods. Although the foreign appearance of these artworks was central to their appeal, this book situates them within their social,...

Cityscaping
ISBN: 9783110376821 / Angielski / Twarda / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Der hier neu in die Forschung eingefuhrte Begriff des 'Cityscaping' charakterisiert den kreativen Prozess, in dem ein Stadtbild in verschiedenen Medien - Text, Film und Artefakten - erschaffen und reprasentiert wird. Er lenkt damit die Aufmerksamkeit von gebauten Stadtraumen auf mentale Bilder von Stadten. Im Zentrum steht einerseits die Frage, mit welchen literarischen, visuellen und akustischen Mitteln die raumliche Imagination der Rezipienten angeregt wird; andererseits wird untersucht, welche Semantik und Funktionen einem medial konstruierten Stadtbild beigelegt werden. An Beispielen... Der hier neu in die Forschung eingefuhrte Begriff des 'Cityscaping' charakterisiert den kreativen Prozess, in dem ein Stadtbild in verschiedenen Me... |

The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy
ISBN: 9780195336467 / Angielski / Twarda / 928 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions, is critical for anyone seeking to understand the Roman world, whether they regard themselves as literary scholars, historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, religious scholars or work in a field that touches on the Roman world from c. 500 BCE to 500 CE and beyond. The Oxford Handbook of Roman Epigraphy is the fullest collection of scholarship on the study and history of Latin epigraphy produced to date. Rather that just a collection of inscriptions, however, this volume seeks to show why inscriptions matter and demonstrate to classicists...

The Pantheon: From Antiquity to the Present
ISBN: 9780521809320 / Angielski / Twarda / 503 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Pantheon is one of the most important architectural monuments of all time.

The Hunter, the Stag, and the Mother of Animals: Image, Monument, and Landscape in Ancient North Asia
ISBN: 9780190202361 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ancient landscape of North Asia gave rise to a mythic narrative of birth, death, and transformation that reflected the hardship of life for ancient nomadic hunters and herders. Of the central protagonists, we tend to privilege the hero hunter of the Bronze Age and his re-incarnation as a warrior in the Iron Age. But before him and, in a sense, behind him was a female power, half animal, half human. From her came permission to hunt the animals of the taiga, and by her they were replenished. She was, in other words, the source of the hunter's success. The stag was a latecomer to this tale,...

Mosaics of Fishbourne Roman Palace
ISBN: 9781910223215 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The art of mosaic construction seems to have spread through the Hellenistic world and was brought to Italy by Greek craftsmen. Consequently the Romans carried the art further afield as their empire expanded and eventually to England. In England the first mosaic floors were laid in the 1st Century AD and it was only in the later mosaic floors, laid between 150-360 AD, that Greek/Roman mythology was noticed in the Romano-British villas. Because of this timeline there is an absence of any Celtic myths, although I feel that within these mosaic floors there are decorative motifs that appear to...

ISBN: 9789004283916 / Angielski / Twarda / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analyzing the literature on art from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, The Spiritual Language of Art explores the complex relationship between visual art and spiritual experiences during the Italian Renaissance. Though scholarly research on these writings has predominantly focused on the influence of classical literature, this study reveals that Renaissance authors consistently discussed art using terms, concepts and metaphors derived from spiritual literature.
