‎Imagery and Aesthetics of Late Antique Cities‎

‎Summary While the role of the city in Late Antiquity has often been discussed by archaeologists and historians alike, it is only in recent years that scholarship has begun to offer a more nuanced approach in our understanding to how such cities functioned, stepping away from the traditional paradigm of their decline and fall with the collapse of the Roman Empire. In line with this approach, this deliberately interdisciplinary volume seeks to provide a more multifaceted understanding of urban history by drawing together scholars of literary and material culture to discuss the concepts of imagery and aesthetics of late antique cities. Gathering together contributions by historians, philologists, archaeologists, literature specialists, and art historians, the volume aims to explore the imagery and aesthetics of cities in Late Antiquity within a strong theoretical framework. The different chapters explore the aesthetics of cityscape representations in literature and art, asking in particular whether literary representations of late antique urban landscapes mirror the urban reality of eclectic ensembles of pre-existing architecture and new buildings, as well as questioning both how the ideal of the city evolved in the imagination of the period and if imperial ideology was reflected in literary depictions of cities.

‎Aesthetics of Protestantism in Northern Europe. Exploring the Field‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 260 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:23 b/w, 11 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503601601.‎

‎Summary This book explores the aesthetic consequences of Protestantism in Scandinavia. Fourteen case studies from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century discuss five abstract and trans-historical principles that characterize Scandinavian aesthetics and that arguably derive from Protestant thinking and practice, namely: simplicity, logocentrism, tension between pronounced individualism and collectivism, relatedness to the world, and ethics. The contributions address the peculiar aesthetics of Scandinavian print, literature, architecture, film, and opera and reflect on the influence of Protestant traditions on the establishment of genres and writing practices. This volume is the first in a new series that will focus on the aesthetics of Protestantism in Scandinavia, both theoretically and through exemplary individual analyses.

The work of the outstanding Soviet scientist A.F. Losev (1893-1988) is the final, eighth volume of the multi-volume monograph History of Ancient Aesthetics. It traces the transition from ancient to medieval aesthetics. The millennia-old path of Greco-Roman aesthetics is represented in the most basic principles (myth, logos, matter, idea, unity, mind, soul) and categories (harmony, rhythm, number, imitation, beauty, etc.), on the basis of which an impressive picture of the aesthetic mastery of the world in antiquity emerges. We have thousands of titles and often several copies of each title may be available. Please feel free to contact us for a detailed description of the copies available. SKUalbd0be1f66c07e4dc3.‎
