Staging the Ruler's Body in Medieval Cultures: A Comparative Perspective
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2023 Hardback, 351 pages, Size:180 x 265 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 83 col., 1 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9781915487087.
Summary This book explores the viewing and sensorial contexts in which the bodies of kings and queens were involved in the premodern societies of Europe, Asia, and Africa, relying on a methodology that aims to overcoming the traditional boundaries between material studies, art history, political theory, and Repr sentationsgeschichte. More specifically, it investigates the multiple ways in which the ruler's physical appearance was apprehended and invested with visual, metaphorical, and emotional associations, as well as the dynamics whereby such mise-en-sc ne devices either were inspired by or worked as sources of inspiration for textual and pictorial representations of royalty. The outcome is a multifaced analysis of the multiple, imaginative, and terribly ambiguous ways in which, in past societies, the notion of a God-driven, eternal, and transpersonal royal power came to be associated with the material bodies of kings and queens, and of the impressive efforts made, in different cultures, to elude the conundrum of the latter's weakness, transitoriness, and individual distinctiveness.

Verstorbenendarstellungen auf fruhchristlichen Sarkophagen,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Paperback, 264 pages., 174 b/w ill., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503542744.
The present study analyzes not only the images of the deceased on the Christian sarcophagi, but also highlights the fact that these representations of the deceased must be regarded as a characteristic of these sarcophagi. These representations of the deceased on the Christian sarcophagi can be divided into two groups: the first imported from pagan tradition and partly reinterpreted; the second group is made up of new images create by an innovative higher class. Like the majority of researchers, I believe that the majority of sarcophagi, apart for the more simple ones or of less quality, were carried out on order. An important result of this study is the following observation: the images of the deceased are more often reproduced on the Christian sarcophagi than on the pagan ones. The first cause of this phenomenon was the dissatisfaction relative to the resulting biblical topic images illustrated on the sarcophagi and the will to establish a closer link with this set of themes. The proximity of the deceased with the protagonists of a scene, and by this skew the coherence of the contents, is an essential concern in these representations. The influence of this concern on the iconographic choice made by the client is more perceptible on Christian tombs than on pagan ones. This phenomenon is expressed through the creation of a new iconography, which is explained by the desire of the close relations of the deceased or the client placing the order to represent the deceased in a context expressing the firm belief in a life after death. Accordingly, the visibility or the invisibility of these images is not important. If the representations were visible, they were used to give comfort. If not, we know that they were at least visible at the time of the funeral. Languages: German.
