The Vanishing Frame
In the postdictatorial era, Latin American cultural production and criticism has been defined by a series of assumptions about politics and art—expecially the claim that political freedom can be achieved by promoting a more direct experience between the textual subject (often a victim) and the reader by eliminating the division between art and life. The Vanishing Frame argues against this conception of freedom, demonstrating how it is based on a politics of human rights complicit with economic injustices. Presenting a provocative counternarrative, Eugenio Claudio Di Stefano examines literary, visual, and interdisciplinary artists who insist on the autonomy of the work of art in order to th...
Dwelling in Fiction
Explores the affective, ethical, and political demands that difficult reading places on readers of midcentury Latin American literature The radical formal experiments undertaken by writers across Latin America in the mid-twentieth century introduced friction, opacity, and self-reflexivity to the very act of reading. Dwelling in Fiction: Poetics of Place and the Experimental Novel in Latin America explores the limitations and the possibilities of literature for conveying place-specific forms of life. Focusing on authors such as José María Arguedas, João Guimarães Rosa, and Juan José Saer, who are often celebrated for universalizing regional themes, Ashley R. Brock brings a new critical l...

Architecture and Politics in Republican Rome
This book argues that Republican Rome and its component buildings were inextricably intertwined with government, which they perpetuated and challenged.
The Oxford Handbook of Roman Imagery and Iconography
"Roman imagery and iconography are typically studied under the more general umbrella of Roman art and in broader, medium-specific studies. This handbook focuses primarily on visual imagery in the Roman world, examined by context and period, and the evolving scholarly traditions of iconographic analysis and visual semiotics that have framed the modern study of these images. As such topics-or, more directly, the isolation of these topics from medium-specific or strictly temporal evaluations of Roman art-are uncommon in monograph-length studies, our goal is that this handbook will be an important reference for both the communicative value of images in the Roman world and the tradition of iconographical analysis. The chapters herein represent contributions from a number of leading and emerging authorities on Roman imagery and iconography from across the world, representing a variety of academic traditions and methods of image analysis"--
Storia del libro napoletano. Volume primo. Epoche - Cultura - Testi
Monumenti, strade, castelli, musei sono gli immediati indicatori per chiunque voglia farsi un'idea della civiltà di Napoli, ma è nelle biblioteche, e più precisamente nel libro, sia manoscritto che stampato, che quelle indicazioni trovano una spiegazione più compiuta, nelle pagine degli autori che hanno scritto sugli innumerevoli aspetti della città. Tale concetto costituisce lo sfondo di questa Storia del libro napoletano, cercando di far emergere le peculiarità più rilevanti della storia e della cultura napoletana, attraverso le testimonianze librarie più importanti che partono dai papiri ercolanesi, per seguire con i codici medievali, manoscritti talora splendidi per le alluminazioni, fino ad arrivare al 1471 quando si ebbe la prima stampa a caratteri mobili, il Bartolo di Sassoferrato, Lectura, un testo giuridico, che inaugura una caratteristica non secondaria della cultura napoletana, per concludere al 1860.
