‎Words and Deeds. Shaping Urban Politics from below in Late Medieval Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 224 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503583860.‎

‎Summary This book focuses on the city and urban politics, because historically towns have been an interesting laboratory for the creation and development of political ideas and practices, as they are also today. The contributions in this volume shed light on why, how and when citizens participated in the urban political process in late medieval Europe (c. 1300-1500). In other words, this book reconsiders the involvement of urban commoners in political matters by studying their claims and wishes, their methods of expression and their discursive and ideological strategies. It shows that, in order to garner support for and establish the parameters of the most important urban policies, medieval urban governments engaged regularly in dialogue with their citizens. While the degree of citizens' active involvement differed from region to region and even from one town to the next, political participation never remained restricted to voting for representatives at set times. This book therefore demonstrates that the making of politics was not the sole prerogative of the government; it was always, to some extent, a bottom-up process as well.

‎Murillo: Persuasion and Aura‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2021 Hardback, 348 pages, Size:225 x 300 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 272 col., Language: English. ISBN 9781912554409.‎

‎Summary Murillo has attracted particular attention from historians since the seventeenth century to the present day, though opinions of his oeuvre have varied from period to period. The communicative power of his paintings, both then and now, has led him to be used and exploited for different ends. He deliberately cultivated this quality from the time he became an accomplished artist in his native Seville, where he enjoyed great prestige during his lifetime thanks to the resources of his art, his talent and his ability to elicit emotions and arouse passions. His paintings, as if they were prophecies, can only be understood from a visual culture approach and by analysing what his images provoke. Their seemingly easy and familiar appearance is merely the mirror that Murillo, with his command of local codes and the devices of painting, places in front of viewers to trigger a complex empathetic process designed solely to persuade and seduce them, often anticipating their response. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Chapter I Murillo and image Chapter II How Murillo constructed his images: The rhetoric of gesture, appropriation and invention Chapter III Persuaded and seduced: Murillo and his patrons Chapter IV Art and illusion: Murillo and theatricality Chapter V How Murillo constructed his landscapes‎

‎Summary By the late thirteenth century, Norgesveldet ? the Norwegian realm ? stretched far beyond its core in western Scandinavia. At its height in 1264, Norgesveldet connected Norse speakers in tributary territories ranging from the Irish Sea to Orkney and across the Atlantic to the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland. But what held this disparate realm together? What were the dynamics of power between the men and women of the governing and elite classes of Norgesveldet? And what roles did different bodies play at different levels of society in creating and maintaining these networks ? from kings and bishops to scribes and scholars, traders, and law-makers? This volume aims to expand on and further recent important research into connections between Norway and the wider Norse North Atlantic from the eleventh century, during which the Norwegian kingdom began to emerge, through to the fourteenth-century decline of Norgesveldet with the creation of the Kalmar Union. Each chapter addresses a different facet of the Norgesveldet networks, building a complex picture of both their function and their evolving nature. Taking as its inspiration the research and career of its honorand, Jón Viðar Sigurðsson, the volume explores medieval Norway and its wider connections using three key frameworks ? sociopolitical networks, legal and material networks, and literary networks ? with the aim of shedding new light on the people and processes of this North Atlantic polity.

‎Pierre Cardin Evolution FURNITURE AND DESIGN‎

‎, Flammarion, 2006 Hardcover with dusjacket 216 PAGES Illustrated. English text FINE!. ISBN 9782080305275.‎

‎Pierre Cardin, the inventor of ''prêt-à-porter'' whose graphically iconic initials personify his signature style, is best known for fashion and accessory design. However, he launched a unique furniture line during the 1970s that transposed his sculptural approach to fashion into furniture design: futuristic forms combined with traditional lacquer and cabinetmaking techniques and revolutionary space-age designs featured metal and plastics. Artistic director and catalyst, he challenged artists such as Serge Manzon, Christian Adam, Maria Pergay, Giacomo Passera, Prevost, and Pacos to renew contemporary French furniture design. Archival documents and newl commissioned photography include rare designs produced in his Paris workshops or by Japanese firm Yamada Shomei, such as his Space line that is the avant-garde symbol of this emperor of 1970s style. Cardin actively participated in this timely publication aimed at the burgeoning market for 1970s design.‎

‎In Search of Morton Feldman. A Portrait of the Composer at 100‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 316, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:23 b/w, 11 tables b/w., 75 musical examples, Language: English. ISBN 9782503624716.‎

‎Summary There is something inscrutable about Morton Feldman. His music resists analysis, first through its indeterminacy and later through its vast scale. His personality was also contradictory - a «fascinating balance» of «tenderness and toughness», as Christian Wolff states in the book's preface. Familiar biographical narratives, for example his connections to the New York School of composers and artists or his discovery of Turkish rugs, seem to transform as subtly as his music in their frequent retellings. Indeed, the more we examine his life and creative output, the more questions seem to arise. In this spirit of open inquiry, the present volume offers a mixture of analytical and musicological studies spanning the whole range of Feldman's career, as well as his continuing legacy. The essays cover topics ranging from his literary entanglements with Rilke in «Only» (1947) and Pasternak in «Swallows of Salangan» (1960), to timbre in his free-durations pieces of the 1960s, and ample discussion of the late works, including studies on memory in «Violin and Orchestra», time in «Piano and String Quartet», enharmonic spelling and intonation in String Quartet no. 2, and the defining themes of the Beckett-related works of his final decade. The final two chapters address the reception of Feldman's ideas in the works of James Tenney and Linda Catlin Smith, prompting a reconsideration of the composer's important position not just in American music, but in the broader scope of the Western tradition.
