This book brings together leading scholars in the history of science, history of universities, intellectual history, and the history of the Royal Society, to honor Professor Mordechai Feingold. The essays collected here reflect the impact Feingold's scholarship has had on a range of fields and address several topics, including: the dynamic pedagogical techniques employed in early modern universities, networks of communication through which scientific knowledge was shared, experimental techniques and knowledge production, the life and times of Isaac Newton, Newton's reception, and the scientific culture of the Royal Society. Modeling the interdisciplinary approaches championed by Feingold as well as the essential role of archival studies, the volume attests to the enduring value of his scholarship and sets a benchmark for future work in the history of science and its allied fields.

This is the first comprehensive study of the associations of athletes and artists in the Roman empire. The xystic synod of athletes and the thymelic synod of artists were the only ancient associations that operated on a pan-Mediterranean scale. They were active from southern Gaul to Syria and Egypt and were therefore styled 'ecumenical synods'. They played a key role in Greek festival culture during the imperial period: not only did they defend the professional interests of their members, they also contributed to the organisation of competitions and the maintenance of the festival network. Due to their cultural activities, their connections with the imperial court and their ramified social networks, they left a distinctive stamp on Greco-Roman elite culture during the Principate. Drawing on all available documentation, this book offers new insights into the history and workings of these remarkable associations.

Die Monografie stellt sich der Herausforderungen des „global turns“ in den Geisteswissenschaften aus der Perspektive der Kunstgeschichte. Eine globale Kunstgeschichte, so argumentiert sie, muss weder der Logik ökonomischer Globalisierung folgen, noch muss sie darauf abzielen, die gesamte Welt allumfassend zu erzählen. Stattdessen zieht sie eine Theorie der Transkulturation heran, um die Schlüsselmomente einer Kunstgeschichte zu erkunden, die nicht länger über eine oberflächliche Globalität erreicht werden kann. Wie kann die kunsthistorische Analyse Beziehungen von Konnektivität theoretisieren, die Kulturen und Regionen über Entfernungen hinweg gekennzeichnet haben? Wie kann sie auf sinnvolle Weise Fragen der Kommensurabilität oder deren Abwesenheit unter Kulturen behandeln? Durch die Verlagerung des Forschungsschwerpunkts der Untersuchung auf Südasien sollen die fünf Betrachtungen, die das Buch umfasst, intellektuelle Ressourcen und Erkenntnisse regionaler Erfahrungen jenseits von Euro-Amerika in eine global verständliche Analyse überführt werden. The book responds to the challenge of the global turn in the humanities from the perspective of art history. A global art history, it argues, need not follow the logic of economic globalization nor seek to bring the entire world into its fold. Instead, it draws on a theory of transculturation to explore key moments of an art history that can no longer be approached through a facile globalism. How can art historical analysis theorize relationships of connectivity that have characterized cultures and regions across distances? How can it meaningfully handle issues of commensurability or its absence among cultures? By shifting the focus of enquiry to South Asia, the five meditations that make up this book seek to translate intellectual insights of experiences beyond Euro–America into globally intelligible analyses.

There is significant academic interest in the field of art and neurological disorders. Considering how artistic expression may be modified by alterations in neural circuits, as well as in our bodies and everyday lives, associated with a range of disorders and diseases is a rich territory from which to understand the workings of our brains, the unique blend of factors leading to human art making, and disease itself. This book will be an exposé of how different neurological disorders may influence and/or relate to the artistic process, with a particular focus on visual art and painting. The book will interrogate the question of different aspects of neurological disorders and associated brain changes that may impact artistic expression (and vice versa) and will include devoted chapters on Parkinson’s disease, Epilepsy, Mood Disorders, Autism, and Schizophrenia. Moreover, we will elaborate on the question from the perspective of the artist themselves, with chapters that highlight the artistic process in the context of lived experience (either directly or indirectly) with disease-mediated brain changes. Finally, engagement in creative acts has been linked to therapeutic benefits in multiple disease processes and neuroplasticity, which is another line of inquiry directly addressed in the book. As a whole, the volume focuses on themes and concepts at the boundary of creativity and neuroscience in such a way as to be relevant to both the medical and broader (artistic) community. .

This book explores the historical and contemporary connections between art and politics in Colombia. These relations are unique because of the ways in which they are saturated by violence, as the country has passed through conquest, struggles for Independence, fighting between political factions, civil war, paramilitaries, narco-traffickers and state violence. This seemingly unending stream of violence gives art in Colombia one of its main themes. The lavishly illustrated essays, written by Colombian authors, examine Colombian visual arts, music, theatre, literature, cinema, indigenous arts, popular culture, militant publications and recent protest movements, analysing them with tools drawn from contemporary philosophy and theory. Approaches include decolonisation theory, cosmopolitics, anthropology after the ontological turn, Colombian philosophy, feminism, and French theory. The essays all offer powerful understandings of how art has not only been complicit in perpetuating political violence in Colombia, but also how it has been a vital form of analysis and resistance. Stephen Zepke is an independent researcher living in Vienna, Austria. His recent publications include: Hacia un "nuevo" nuevo brutalismo. Encuentros con los Jardines de Robin Hood (2022), Head in the Stars, Essays on Science Fiction (2020), La Sensación Más Allá de Los Límites, Ensayos sobre arte y política (2019) and Sublime Art, Towards an Aesthetics of the Future (2017). Nicolás Alvarado Castillo is a Professor of Philosophy at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogotá, Colombia. He is the faculty’s Publishing Director and co-editor of the peer reviewed journal Universitas Philosophica. He is author of Les variations de la ligne parfaite. Enquête philosophique sur l’idée de vers chez Mallarmé (2022). He currently works at the intersection of Aesthetics and Post-Marxist Theory and has published on contemporary French thought, philosophy and literature, and philosophy and theatre.
