After initial ambivalence about distinctive garb for its ministers, early Christianity developed both liturgical garments and visible markers of clerical status outside church. From the ninth century, moreover, new converts to the faith beyond the Alps developed a highly ornate style of liturgical attire; church vestments were made of precious silks and decorated with embroidered and woven ornament, often incorporating gold and jewels. Making use of surviving medieval textiles and garments; mosaics, frescoes, and manuscript illuminations; canon law; liturgical sources; literary works; hagiography; theological tracts; chronicles, letters, inventories of ecclesiastical treasuries, and wills, Maureen C. Miller in Clothing the Clergy traces the ways in which clerical garb changed over the Middle Ages. Miller’s in-depth study of the material culture of church vestments not only goes into detail about craft, artistry, and textiles but also contributes in groundbreaking ways to our understanding of the religious, social, and political meanings of clothing, past and present.
As a language of power, clerical clothing was used extensively by eleventh-century reformers to mark hierarchies, to cultivate female patrons, and to make radical new claims for the status of the clergy. The medieval clerical culture of clothing had enduring significance: its cultivation continued within Catholicism and even some Protestant denominations and it influenced the visual communication of respectability and power in the modern Western world. Clothing the Clergy features seventy-nine illustrations, including forty color photographs that put the rich variety of church vestments on display.

Описание: Zwischen 1200 und 1600 erleben die Thermalquellen in Italien und Europa (nicht zuletzt im deutschen Reich) ihre Renaissance. Dank von fern anreisender Patienten werden antike Bader wieder belebt oder neue erschlossen und mit Infrastrukturen versehen. Parallel zur gewandelten Korperkultur entsteht ein medizinischer Fachdiskurs, der sich aus antiken Texten und eigenen Beobachtungen speist. Neben dem Mirakulosen, das dem naturwarmen Wasser von jeher anhaftet, werden die besonderen sozialen Umstande eines Kuraufenthalts von der zeitgenossischen Literatur (und Malerei) reflektiert, wobei die antike Tradition eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Der Band gibt einen interdisziplinaren Einblick in Kultur, Geschichte und Vorstellungswelt der Heilquellen in Spatmittelalter und fruher Neuzeit. Tra il 1200 e il 1600 nella penisola italiana e altrove in Europa le fonti termali vivono il loro Rinascimento. Grazie ai pazienti che arrivano da lontano, i siti di origine romana rifioriscono e altri, finora sconosciuti, vengono esplorati e vi si costruiscono delle infrastrutture. Accanto a una nuova cultura del corpo si sviluppa un discorso medicinale che si basa sui testi antichi e le proprie osservazioni. Oltre il carattere meraviglioso da sempre attribuito alle acque calde, la letteratura (e pittura) contemporanea riflette le particolari condizioni sociali di un soggiorno di cura, ispirandosi non poco alla tradizione antica. Il volume fornisce una panoramica interdisciplinare di storia, cultura e immaginario delle fonti termali nel tardo Medioevo e all’inizio dell’eta moderna.

Описание: Superheroes such as Superman and Spider-Man have spread all over the world. As this edited volume shows, many national cultures have created or reimagined the idea of the superhero, while the realm of superheroes now contains many icons whose histories borrow from local folklore and legends. Consequently, the superhero needs reconsideration, to be regarded as part of both local and global culture as well as examined for the rich meanings that such broad origins and re-workings create.This collection stands out as the first concentrated attempt to think through the meanings and significance of the superhero, not only as a product of culture in the United States, but as a series of local, transnational, and global exchanges in popular media. Through analysis of mainly film, television, and computer screens, contributors offer three challenges to the idea of the ""American"" superhero: transnational reimagining of superhero culture, emerging local superheroes, and the use of local superheroes to undermine dominant political ideologies. The essays explore the shifting transnational meanings of Doctor Who, Thor, and the Phantom, as these characters are reimagined in world culture. Other chapters chart the rise of local superheroes from India, the Middle East, Thailand, and South Korea. These explorations demonstrate how far superheroes have traveled to inspire audiences worldwide.

Описание: The theme of this anthology is words, especially words in the context of the Dharma. Words have such power and magic, and yet they also present so many limitations and pitfalls. There are questions of how to use them skilfully and accurately, and the dangers of taking things too literally or misunderstanding metaphors. Indeed, there`s the difference between understanding words and really knowing anything at all. There`s the relationship between words and the truth, and the role poetry plays in connecting them.

Описание: Omeros, a transatlantic Homeric epic poem, is widely considered the masterwork of Nobel laureate Derek Walcott and one of the most important pieces of postcolonial Caribbean literature. Yet it is also Walcott’s most challenging work. In Omeros, Walcott constructs strategic layers of allusions and references that occasionally escape even seasoned scholars.This guide provides exhaustive textual annotations and is the ideal resource for mapping the intricate matrix of allusions in this influential poem. Using extensive research in St. Lucia, the birthplace of Walcott, Maria McGarrity illuminates a wide range of references that include classical literature, world mythologies, colonial politics, modern painting, the Caribbean contexts of Omeros, modern epics, the African elements of West Indian culture, and the critical African nexus within global cultures.In addition to extensive annotations and summaries of the poem’s seven books, McGarrity draws attention to the lyricism of Walcott’s language, the amazing originality of the poem’s structure, and the stunning gaps that are spanned when far-removed allusions unexpectedly relate. When the allusions in Omeros are fully understood, these points of connection usher readers into a fascinating continuum of time and place in which the rich historical past is wrapped up in the contemporary present.
