Abstract:

A narrative of decline punctuated by periods of renewal has long structured perceptions of Rome’s late antique and medieval history. In their probing contributions to this volume, a multi-disciplinary group of scholars provides alternative approaches to understanding the period. Addressing developments in governance, ceremony, literature, art, music, clerical education and the construction of the city’s identity, the essays examine how a variety of actors, from poets to popes, productively addressed the intermittent crises and shifting dynamics of these centuries in ways that bolstered the cit

Abstract:

Monstrous Beings of Media Cultures examines the monsters and sinister creatures that spawn from folk horror, Gothic fiction, and from various sectors of media cultures. The collection illuminates how folk monsters form across different art and media traditions, and interrogates the 21C revitalization of “folk” as both a cultural formation and aesthetic mode. The essays explore how combinations of vernacular and institutional creative processes shape the folkloric and/or folkoresque attributes of monstrous beings, their popularity, and the contexts in which they are received.

Abstract:

Based on a wide range of sources, the monograph shows the activities of the main officially registered joint-stock cinematographic companies operating in Russia at the beginning of the twentieth century. Economic modernization, which flourished in Russia at the turn of the XIX – XX centuries, accelerated the process of formation of joint-stock cinematographic companies. This period turned out to be bright for Russia, but chronologically short. Having turned into a mass spectacle, cinema developed along the path of transformation into an art form that was technological in nature and focused lar

Abstract:

In many provinces of the Tahuantinsuyu, the understanding of Inca domination has been focused on the political strategies implemented by the state. However, the political landscape developed during this time required an engagement with dynamic local communities. By studying the visual and spatial distribution of rock art in North-Central Chile, we discuss how traditional community practices were transformed during the Inca era. We propose that in the Late Intermediate Period rock art was key in the production of a corporate community, whereas in the Inca period it promoted the construction of

Abstract:

Fed up with the commercial and moral restrictions of the mainstream press of the late Victorian era, the diverse avant-garde groups of authors and artists of the Aesthetic Movement developed a new genre of periodicals in which to propagate their principles and circulate their work. Such periodicals are known as ‘little magazines’ for their small-scale production and their circulation among limited audiences, and during the late Victorian period they were often conceptualized as integrated design project or ‘Total Works of Art’ in order to visually and materially represent the ideals of their p

Abstract:

Rossetti’s involvement with the Pre-Raphaelites transformed her perception of the visible and invisible world, shaping her Christological and ecological reading of all things as part of one body. While critics have acknowledged her relationship with Pre-Raphaelitism, its influence has often been separated from her faith. This chapter suggests, however, that Rossetti’s reading of an early Pre-Raphaelite affinity with what Dante Gabriel Rossetti called an ‘art-Catholic’ helped found her nondual understanding of creation as embracing both the material and the divine, and that her vision of an int

Abstract:

Similarities between the earliest Northwest Coast art and ethnographic art are traced regionally from 2000 bc into the late nineteenth century. The earliest known figural art is in the Fraser River–Gulf Islands region and consists of human and animal images with ribs and backbones, joint marks, and protruding tongues, and masks. These motifs are present on ritual spoons used for feeding the dead, probably as part of an early form of the memorial potlatch, and are related to beliefs in human–animal transformation, regeneration from bone, spirit power, and shamanism. These same motifs are found
