Les fresques dites du « Bon Gouvernement », peintes au XIVe siècle par Ambrogio Lorenzetti sur trois des murs de la salle de la paix du palais communal de Sienne ont nourri le récit national italien exaltant l'âge des Communes libres et démocratiques : le bon gouvernement d'une ville s'oppose au mauvais gouvernement du tyran. Déstabilisant les présupposés des interprétations traditionnelles de ces fascinantes réalisations de l'art gothique, en y réveillant des spectres, Rosa Maria Dessì nous fait le récit d'un moment méconnu de l'histoire italienne et nous reconte la vie de quelques œuvres transformées et manipulées au cours des siècles. Chacun de ces gestes, de ces traits disparus ou remaniés, façonne une autre histoire de l'art et, par là, une autre histoire des hommes.

Allegory is a vast subject, and its knotty history is daunting to students and even advanced scholars venturing outside their own historical specializations. This Companion will present, lucidly, systematically, and expertly, the various threads that comprise the allegorical tradition over its entire chronological range. Beginning with Greek antiquity, the volume shows how the earliest systems of allegory developed in poetry dealing with philosophy, mystical religion, and hermeneutics. Once the earliest histories and themes of the allegorical tradition have been presented, the volume turns to literary, intellectual, and cultural manifestations of allegory through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The essays in the last section address literary and theoretical approaches to allegory in the modern era, from reactions to allegory in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to reevaluations of its power in the thought of the twentieth century and beyond.

This major new work by Fredric Jameson is not a book about 'method,' but it does propose a dialectic capable of holding together in one breath the heterogeneities that reflect our biological individualities, our submersion in collective history and class struggle, and our alienation to a disembodied new world of information and abstraction. Eschewing the arid secularities of philosophy, Walter Benjamin once recommended the alternative of the rich figurality of an older theology; in that spirit we here return to the antiquated Ptolemaic systems of ancient allegory and its multiple levels (a proposal first sketched out in The Political Unconscious); it is tested against the epic complexities of the overtly allegorical works of Dante, Spenser and the Goethe of Faust II, as well as symphonic form in music, and the structure of the novel, postmodern as well as Third World: about which a notorious essay on National Allegory is here reprinted with a theoretical commentary; and an allegorical history of emotion is meanwhile rehearsed from its contemporary, geopolitical context.
