From the time of their first appearance in the early nineteenth century through to the mid-twentieth century, railway trains were a particular subject of interest for artists. Their depictions capture the sensitivities of their specific periods, illustrating both fear of and enthusiasm for a new industrial world, launched at full speed but now seen as out of control. They portray railway stations and cities redesigned to accommodate them, and new locations associated with equally new opportunities for travel. Artists are captivated by the lights and swirls of steam from the locomotives. They become worshippers of technology, mesmerized by the speed and almighty power of railway engines and rendering the plastic beauty of their curves, pistons and marvellous mechanisms. They depict variously the machine and the fantasy, their feet on the ground or their heads in the dreamworld of travel and inner adventure. Tracks to Modernity, the flagship exhibition in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium takes place from 15 October 2021 to 13 February 2022 as part of the 'EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS' festival.

Depuis son apparition au d but du XIXe si cle jusqu?au milieu du XXe si cle, le train a constitu un sujet d?int r t pour les artistes. Ses repr sentations font cho aux poques et aux sensibilit s qui s?y expriment. Elles figurent l?angoisse et l?enthousiasme pour un monde nouveau, industriel, lanc pleine vitesse mais d sormais hors de contr le. Elles tudient la gare et la ville qui se repense pour l?accueillir, les lieux nouveaux associ s la possibilit ? tout aussi nouvelle ? de voyager. Les artistes se fascinent pour les lumi res et les volutes de vapeur. Ils se laissent hypnotiser par la vitesse et la toute-puissance de l?engin ; ils soulignent la beaut plastique de ses courbes, les pistons et la merveilleuse m canique. Ils repr sentent l?outil et le fantasme, les pieds sur terre ou la t te dans l?univers onirique du voyage et de l?aventure int rieure. Voies de la modernit , l'exposition phare aux Mus es royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique se tiendra du 15 octobre 2021 au 13 f vrier 2022 et fait partie du festival 'EUROPALIA TRAINS & TRACKS'.

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.

Summary The Johannine Tradition in Late Antique and Medieval Poetry proposes to examine the impact of the Gospel of John, which is fundamental from the point of view of the history of Christian doctrines, on ancient poetic production, with some forays into the Middle Ages. The critical literature on these aspects is particularly abundant, but hitherto an overall view of the presence and importance of the Johannine tradition in the evolution of Christian poetry was lacking. Based on the Strasbourg colloquium that took place on 16-17 September 2021, the present volume aims to fill this gap, with contributions highlighting not an episodic presence of Johannine texts in poetic compositions, but a structuring function in the definition of the poetic choices of the various authors. The focus of attention could therefore only be on the genre of biblical rewritings, which derive their particular significance from their organic attempt to ?remake? the biblical text in accordance with very precise cultural objectives and the expectations of a select audience.

The illustrated weekly magazine VU ran over 600 issues between 21 March 1928 and 29 May 1940. Conceived as a beautiful ongoing film that would bring all of life within the range of the human eye, this weekly magazine was crammed with photographs and was designed to provide its readers with the same kind of experience as the cinema newsreels watched by millions of people each week. The text explains, the photo proves was the magazines editorial motto. This book gives VU the attention it deserves by liberally reproducing a selection of front covers, pages and spreads from throughout its short but prolific history, together with the commentary and analysis they demand.
