Abstract

Fully illustrated in colour, here is the first introduction in English to one of Korea's outstanding cultural assets - the banchado ('painting of the order of guests at a royal event') - relating to all those taking part (1800 people) in the eight-day royal procession to Hwaseong (Gyeonggi Province) organized by King Jeongjo in 1795 for the dual purpose of visiting his father's tomb and celebrating his mother's sixtieth birthday. The banchado is a fine example of the meticulous record-keeping of the period (known as uigwe - the subject-matter of this book being known as the Wonhaeng eulmyo jeongni uigwe) and the skills of the court artists at that time. In addition to the banchado illustrations, the Wonhaeng eulmyo jeongni uigwe contains extensive lists of all the participants in the procession, details of the workers and technicians involved, including their duties and wages. It even includes the different foods offered at meal-times, the quantity of ingredients and the costs. The author provides a full analysis of the context, planning, execution and significance of the event.

Abstract

Qu'il dompte des rivières, construise des chaussées ou pose des rails, le Wallon a toujours œuvré à améliorer ses réseaux de communication et à réinventer ses moyens de locomotion. À travers l'évocation du patrimoine régional ou local, cet ouvrage peint une fresque passionnante qui s'étend sur plusieurs siècles et évoque autant les innovations que les tragédies. Les méfaits des bandits de grands chemins y côtoient le travail harassant des haleurs, sans oublier les traces des infatigables bâtisseurs romains, l'incroyable destin d'ouvrages d'art ou les légendes et folklores de nos contrées. Les textes rassemblés ici mettent en valeur de nombreux sites wallons, répartis sur nos cinq provinces. Accessibles à tout un chacun, ils sont agrémentés d'illustrations, pour la plupart inédites, qui nous replongent dans un passé méconnu, aux nombreuses connexions avec notre quotidien.

Abstract

De Stille Omgang is een goed bewaard Amsterdams geheim. Het is een religieus ritueel dat al eeuwenlang eenmaal per jaar door de binnenstad van Amsterdam trekt. Velen hebben ervan gehoord, en wie het massale ritueel daadwerkelijk heeft meegemaakt of is tegengekomen raakt erdoor gefascineerd. De tocht vindt plaats ter herdenking en verering van een mirakel dat in 1345 in de Kalverstraat zou hebben plaatsgevonden. Ter nagedachtenis hieraan bouwden de stedelingen een fraaie kapel, de Heilige Stede. De toen nog jonge stad Amsterdam ontwikkelde zich daardoor tot een bedevaartsoord waar pelgrims uit heel Europa op afkwamen. Deze 'biografie' van een intrigerende devotie - de Mirakelcultus - vertelt over de langdurige interactie tussen heiligdom, pelgrims, stad, natie, en de twisten die daarmee gepaard gingen. De katholieken kwamen daar uiteindelijk triomferend uit naar voren. Ze creëerden een 'nationale' omgang, waarmee ze hun herwonnen positie markeerden. 'Het Mirakel van Amsterdam' geeft een nieuwe kijk op een omstreden, maar fascinerend onderdeel van de Amsterdamse en Nederlandse cultuur- en religiegeschiedenis.

Abstract

Cassiano dal Pozzo's print collection was unique in its scope and organisation. Some 3,000 prints are known, in nine albums and many loose impressions mainly divided between the British Library and the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. Cassiano (1588-1657) and his younger brother Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo (1606-89) did not commission printmakers to engrave plates (as they did drawings), buying instead what was available from the flourishing printmaking industry of the time. The material they collected was essentially documentary, and they organised the collection by subject matter: costumes, religious processions and ceremonies, tombs and catafalques, the history of St Peter's, architecture, topography, maps and military engagements, portraits, social and humorous subjects, and so on. This first part of the catalogue presents ceremonies, costumes, portrait and genre prints. A remarkable proportion of the prints are not to be found in the existing literature, and many constitute additions to the known works of major printmakers. Indeed Cassiano's collection has been described as 'so far outside the common range of print collectors both in the seventeenth century and today that a very high proportion of its contents is excessively rare and will only with great difficulty be found elsewhere'. This ground-breaking catalogue will be an essential resource not only for students of prints, but for all those studying European visual culture in the seventeenth century.

Abstract

Under what conditions does in-group pride facilitate out-group tolerance? What are the causal linkages between intergroup tolerance and socialization in religious rituals? This book examines how Muslims from Russia's North Caucuses returned from the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca both more devout as Muslims and more tolerant of out-groups. Drawing on prominent theories of identity and social capital, the authors resolve seeming contradictions between the two literatures by showing the effects of religious rituals that highlight within-group diversity at the same time that they affirm the group's common identity. This theory is then applied to explain why social integration of Muslim immigrants has been more successful in the USA than in Europe and how the largest Hispanic association in the US defied the clash of civilizations theory by promoting immigrants' integration into America's social mainstream. The book offers insights into Islam's role in society and politics and the interrelationships between religious faith, immigration and ethnic identity, and tolerance that will be relevant to both scholars and practitioners.

Abstract

In Heiligen en tradities in Vlaanderen buigen tal van specialisten onder redactionele leiding van Hans Geybels zich over de vooral religieuze volkscultuur in Vlaanderen. Hoe Keltisch of Germaans zijn de christelijke tradities? Wat als Sinterklaas niet Wodan is? Wat heeft de verrijzenis van Christus met eieren te maken? Waar komen al die Lourdesgrotten in Vlaanderen vandaan? Welke tradities leven er bij de (schutters)gilden? Hoe kwamen die mirakelverhalen tot stand? Daarbij gaan ze telkens uit van de meest recente stand van zaken in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek.
