Reading, Writing, and Errant Subjects in Inquisitorial Spain explores the conception and production of early modern Spanish literary texts in the context of the inquisitorial socio-cultural environment of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Author Ryan Prendergast analyzes instances of how the elaborate censorial system and the threat of punishment that both the Inquisition and the Crown deployed did not deter all writers from incorporating, confronting, and critiquing legally sanctioned practices and the exercise of institutional power designed to induce conformity and maintain...

Jane Austen's Anglicanism
ISBN: 9781409418634 / Angielski / Twarda / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In her re-examination of Jane Austen's Anglicanism, Laura Mooneyham White suggests that engaging with Austen's world in all its strangeness and remoteness reveals the novelist's intensely different presumptions about the cosmos and human nature. While Austen's readers often project postmodern and secular perspectives onto an Austen who reflects their own times and values, White argues that viewing Austen's Anglicanism through the lens of primary sources of the period, including the complex history of the Georgian church to which Austen was intimately connected all her life, provides a context...

Visualizing Rituals: Critical Analysis of Art and Ritual Practice
ISBN: 9781847180766 / Angielski / Twarda / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Diverse aspects of art-from its inception to its eventual display-have continuously been connected to rituals and vice versa, whether formally or informally. As the field of critical theory has expanded over the past several decades, becoming increasingly relevant to art historical discourse, new methods of understanding art in relation to the individual and society have played a significant role in the conceptualization of ritual practices. In addition, psychoanalytic theories of identity formation as well as ideas of the fragmented, post-modern subject have opened up new avenues for...

Visualizing Belief and Piety in Iranian Shiism
ISBN: 9781441125248 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The representation of prophets and saints in Islam is erroneously considered nonexistent by many scholars of Islam, Muslims, and the general public. The issue is often dealt with superficially without attention to its deep roots in piety and religiosity. Visualizing Belief and Piety in Iranian Shiism offers new understanding of Islamic iconography and Muslim perspectives on the use of imageries in ritual contexts and devotional life. Combining iconographic and ethnographic approaches, Ingvild Flaskerud introduces and analyzes imageries (tile-paintings, posters and wall-hangings), ritual...

The Art of Religion: Sforza Pallavicino and Art Theory in Bernini's Rome
ISBN: 9780754634850 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bernini and Pallavicino, the artist and the Jesuit cardinal, are closely related figures at the papal courts of Urban VIII and Alexander VII, at which Bernini was the principal artist. The analysis of Pallavicino's writings offers a new perspective on Bernini's art and artistry and allow us to understand the visual arts in papal Rome as a 'making manifest' of the fundamental truths of faith. Pallavicino's views on art and its effects differ fundamentally from the perspective developed in Bernini's biographies offering a perspective on the tension between artist and patron, work and message....

Beauty Looks After Herself
ISBN: 9781887593441 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As Catherine Pickstock so forcefully demonstrates in her brilliant introduction to this new publication of Beauty Looks After Herself, for 600 or more years, the Real has been progressively stripped of transcendental content, so that today an "unbearable lightness of being" presents us with the terrible spectacle of numberless possibilities evacuated of all substantive content. A middlebrow landscape of normal nihilism surrounds us at every turn.
Eric Gill saw through our dilemma long ago. Here, in essays on industrialism, architecture, stone-carving, lettering, clothes, philosophies of... As Catherine Pickstock so forcefully demonstrates in her brilliant introduction to this new publication of Beauty Looks After Herself, for 600 or more...

The MIll and the Cross: Peter Bruegel's Way to Calvary
ISBN: 9781475288827 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Michael Francis Gibson's The Mill and the Cross leads the reader into a surprising painting by Peter Bruegel the Elder - The Way to Calvary - an ambiguous work which all at once illustrates the Passion of Christ and the execution of a Reformation preacher in a city rather like Antwerp where Bruegel lived in the early 1560s. The book was praised by the New York Times when it was first published in 2001: "as readable and riveting as a first-class spy-thriller." Ten years later the Polish film director Lech Majewski brought out his feature film based on the book and starring Charlotte Rampling,...

Imagining the Passion in a Multiconfessional Castile: The Virgin, Christ, Devotions, and Images in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries
ISBN: 9780271054100 / Angielski / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent research into the texts, practices, and visual culture of late medieval devotional life in western Europe has clearly demonstrated the centrality of devotions to Christ's Passion. The situation in Castile, however, could not have been more different. Prior to the final decades of the fifteenth century, individual relationships to Christ established through the use of "personalized" Passion imagery simply do not appear to have been a component of Castilian devotional culture. In Imagining the Passion in a Multiconfessional Castile, Cynthia Robinson argues that it is...

I Am: An Illustrational Art of His Name
ISBN: 9781449772154 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many of my thoughts about Jesus come to me in small groups of souls whose purpose is talking about Him and His ways. It could be a men's group or dinner with friends, and then out of nowhere, a revelation will come to me and stick with me till I create it. In this case, I recall a discussion we were having in Sunday school, where we discovered that the only person who can truly proclaim to be "I am" is Jesus, because He is, was, and forever will be-the only person who can truly claim existence. From there, the idea grew in my quiet time into a simple sculpture to present His name carved into...

Staropolskie Spory O Kult Obrazów
ISBN: 9788377200896 / Polski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. W sporach o to, czy i jak czcić obrazy, siła perswazyjna argumentów zależała nie tylko od ich ważkości, ale najpierw od tego kto, gdzie i wobec kogo je stosował. Racje przemawiające do pierwszych chrześcijan za odrzuceniem kultu wizerunków jako pogańskiego bałwochwalstwa nie do naśladowania, straciły swą ważność, gdy następne pokolenia wyznawców Chrystusa zaczęły jednak używać wizerunków nie tylko jako pouczenia i ozdoby, ale i otaczać je czcią. A czyniono to nieraz z intensywnością zewnętrzną, jaka przygłuszała to, co wewnętrzne i przesłaniała coś...
