Abstract

"Art Moves" reconstructs the appearance and conditions of use of processional artifacts, whether they were worn (uniforms and liveries), held by individuals, (maces, flags, and candles), or carried communally (canopy, reliquaries, banners, or statues). This is the first book on the material culture of processions as a performative, multi-media, apparatus. It investigates how objects were charged with meaning from medium and fabrication to market value to size and weight. Ritual settings gave them a symbolic force that was heightened through their mobility. In the public events studied here - religious and civic celebrations, elite funerals, papal entries, city-wide penance, and relic transfers - ‘moving’ [pun intended] objects became the meaningful vehicles of ritual efficacy, shaping ideology, group solidarity, and social cohesion. Despite the liturgical framework, processional paraphernalia foregrounded the laity, notably secular authorities and confraternities. Art Moves also raises the issue of conflict that material ephemera could invite or even spark. Renaissance Perugia, a middling-sized city, presents a wealth of textual, visual, and material evidence, not to mention its medieval and renaissance topography. In Perugia more than anywhere else perhaps, several banners played a key role in crisis processions, becoming cult objects revered into the nineteenth century. This study also revisits artistic representations of corteges, questioning the extent of their documentary value. The approach intertwines the disciplines of art history, social history, material culture, religious studies, and anthropology. This publication offers a new way of looking at the dynamics of urban processions while revivifying the sensory experience of public life in Italy, ca. 1350-1600.

Abstract

“Le superflu, chose très nécessaire”, schreef Voltaire in 1736 in zijn gedicht Le Mondain. Luxe is echter veel meer dan ‘gematerialiseerde overbodigheid’. Deze publicatie focust op verschillende vormen van opzichtige materiële cultuur in de Lage Landen van 1500 tot vandaag. Eerder dan voor de hand liggende cases van luxe te bestuderen, tast dit boek de grenzen van het begrip luxe af. Twee onderwerpen komen uitgebreid aan bod: het aanleggen van verzamelingen en het produceren/consumeren van voedsel als expressiemiddelen van welvaart en pracht en praal. Met bijdragen van gerenommeerde internationale onderzoekers uit diverse disciplines zoals archeologie, geschiedenis, literatuur- en mediastudies, kunstgeschiedenis, linguïstiek en historische etnologie.

Abstract

In Art and Agency, Alfred Gell formulates an anthropological theory of visual art that focuses on the social context of art production, circulation, and reception. As a theory of the nexus of social relations involving works of art, this work suggests that in certain contexts, art-objects substitute for persons and thus mediate social agency. Diversely illustrated and based on European, Polynesian, Melanesian, and Australian sources, Art and Agency was completed just before Gell's death at the age of fifty-one in January 1997. It embodies the intellectual bravura, lively wit, vigor, and erudition for which he was admired, and will stand as an enduring testament to one of the most gifted anthropologists of his generation.

Abstract

Pourquoi en France a-t-on donné la priorité à l'étude de la parenté, et dans les pays de langue allemande à celle de la narration populaire ? Quels rapports entretiennent l'ethnologie française avec l'histoire et celle de langue allemande avec le politique ? De quelle manière étudie-t-on, ici et là, les faits symboliques et religieux, et qu'entend-on par symbolismes populaires ? Quels objets de recherche, quels problèmes sollicitent aujourd'hui les ethnologues ? Ce sont là quelqu'unes des interrogations auxquelles on a cherché à répondre dans ce face à face. Les quatorze essais présentés ici dégagent en miroir l'originalité, et les divergences, de ces deux écoles majeures de l'ethnologie de l'Europe. Les auteurs passent en revue les objets d'étude, les méthodes, les principales orientations théoriques, l'histoire mais aussi l'avenir de cette discipline désignée, selon le lieu et le moment, par les termes d'etimologie, Volkskunde, folklore ou arts et traditions populaires. Mais, par delà le tableau des originalités et différences dans l'ethnologie de ces deux aires linguistiques, cet ouvrage ouvre une brèche dans le mur d'ignorance réciproque qui sépare les ethnologues de l'une et l'autre langue : tâche primordiale si l'on veut comprendre le champ des civilisations européennes.

Abstract

This book offers an engaging and original perspective on the private lives and material culture of patrician families in sixteenth-century Venice. Distinguished art historian Patricia Fortini Brown takes us behind the elegant façades of grand palaces built along the Venetian canals and examines the roles of both fine and applied arts in family life as well as the public messages that these impressive homes conveyed. Illustrated with hundreds of varied and unusual images, the book provides a lively picture of the aristocratic lifestyle during a period of changing definitions of nobility. The author considers such wide-ranging themes as attitudes toward wealth and display, the articulation of family identity, and the visual culture of Venetian women—how they decorated their homes, dressed, undertook domestic tasks, entertained, and raised their children. Recapturing the interplay between the public and private, she offers an account of Venetian households unequalled in vividness and detail.
