Easy to read, and highly topical, Messages writes a history of mass communication in Europe and its outreaches, as a search for the origins of media forms from print and stage, to photography, film and broadcasting.Arguing that the development of the mass media has been an essential engine driving the western concept of an individual, Brian Winston examines how the right of free expression is under attack, and how the roots of media expression need to be recalled to make a case for the media's importance for the protection of individual liberty.Relating

An extremely rare and conspicuous find of oriental riding costumes in the late antique necropolis of Antinoopolis (Middle Egypt) brought together a number of specialists piecing together their evolution and historical context. The first part deals with the evolution and distribution of the oriental riding costume in the Middle and Near East through the ages and the historical background on the find spot. The second part focuses on the original costumes in various museum collections including much so far unpublished material, technical researches and reconstructions. Surprising new insights on the social background of their owners has been obtained by carefully studying and piecing together the finding context. Also the representations of riding costumes in and on different monuments are carefully examined. The book is richly illustrated with colour and black and white plates.

Il volume raccoglie i saggi presentati in occasione del convegno dal titolo Itinerari mediterranei fra IV e IX secolo: Città-capitale e Deserto-monastico (Genova, 11-12-13 novembre 2010), mettendo in dialogo i contributi di spessore scientifico elaborati da studiosi appartenenti a diverse aree e abbracciando l’articolato contesto del Mediterraneo nella Tarda Antichità e nell’Altomedioevo. Nel risalire alle origini dell’iconografia cristiana, è stato sottolineato il ruolo fondamentale svolto dall’Egitto fra IV e VI secolo dove, grazie all’interazione tra i monasteri cenobitici e i grandi centri urbani del mondo antico, venne elaborato quel sapere figurativo e dottrinale che ha portato alla formazione della “civiltà dell’immagine”, poi sviluppata nel corso dei secoli in Europa. Ed è il denso e ricco rapporto tra questi due poli, Città e Deserto, che costituisce un tassello decisivo nel disegnare le rotte e le dinamiche culturali irradiate nel crogiolo mediterraneo. Il confronto tra le situazioni scelte e analizzate dai relatori traccia percorsi e itinerari a doppio senso. All’interno di questo approccio multi-disciplinare, le tangenze religiose, storiche, geo-politiche, sociali e artistiche stimolano approfondimenti per ulteriori indagini e future collaborazioni nel quadro degli scavi archeologici. In quest’ottica sono presi in considerazione anche i diversi media e tecniche dell’arte – il codice, il tessuto, l’oreficeria, gli avori, l’architettura, la scultura, l’affresco –, ampliando il giro d’orizzonte in cui comprendere i modi di sopravvivenza e di ricezione dell’eredità figurativa che il Mediterraneo ha consegnato.
