Between God and Man
How Italian artists have represented one of the most revered religious images--the angel
The Agile College
Following Grawe's seminal first book, this volume answers the question: How can a college or university prepare for forecasted demographic disruptions? Demographic changes promise to reshape the market for higher education in the next 15 years. Colleges are already grappling with the consequences of declining family size due to low birth rates brought on by the Great Recession, as well as the continuing shift toward minority student populations. Each institution faces a distinct market context with unique organizational strengths; no one-size-fits-all answer could suffice. In this essential follow-up to Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education, Nathan D. Grawe explores how proactive ...

A Renaissance Architecture of Power
The growth of princely states in early Renaissance Italy brought a thorough renewal to the old seats of power. One of the most conspicuous outcomes of this process was the building or rebuilding of new court palaces, erected as prestigious residences in accord with the new ‘classical’ principles of Renaissance architecture. The novelties, however, went far beyond architectural forms: they involved the reorganisation of courtly interiors and their functions, new uses for the buildings, and the relationship between the palaces and their surroundings. The whole urban setting was affected by these processes, and therefore the social, residential and political customs of its inhabitants. This is the focus of A Renaissance Architecture of Power, which aims to analyse from a comparative perspective the evolution of Italian court palaces in the Renaissance in their entirety. Contributors are Silvia Beltramo, Flavia Cantatore, Bianca de Divitiis, Emanuela Ferretti, Marco Folin, Giulio Girondi, Andrea Longhi, Marco Rosario Nobile, Aurora Scotti, Elena Svalduz, and Stefano Zaggia.
Sabaudian Studies
This collection of interdisciplinary essays introduce the history and culture of the lands ruled by the sovereign house of Savoy during the late medieval and early modern periods, territories now part of France, Italy, and Switzerland. Because the Sabaudian realms were geographically, linguistically, and culturally diverse and did not evolve into a single modern nation-state, their early history has been overlooked by historians whose perspectives were often informed by a narrow, national framework. An international team of scholars offers new research that de-provincializes many of the existing rich scholarly assessments of the historical significance of these lands, which were important fo...
Children's Culture and the Avant-Garde
This volume explores the mutual influences between children’s literature and the avant-garde. Olson places particular focus on fin-de-siècle Paris, where the Avant-garde was not unified in thought and there was room for modernism to overlap with children’s literature and culture in the Golden Age. The ideas explored by artists such as Florence Upton, Henri Rousseau, Sir William Nicholson, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Marc Chagall had been disseminated widely in cultural productions for children; their work, in turn, influenced children’s culture. These artists turned to children’s culture as a "new way of seeing," allied to a contemporary interest in international artistic styles. Ch...

Perspectivas Judaicas
O judaísmo é constituído por inúmeras ramificações e, consequentemente, por uma grande variedade de cosmovisões, formando assim, uma cultura pautada pela diversidade de ideias e de inovações. Esta cultura milenar contempla um rico manancial de sabedoria, advindo de sua esfera religiosa e de seus preceitos éticos, os quais são regidos sob uma indissociabilidade entre o discurso e a práxis. Seja na dimensão religiosa, mística, psicológica, humanista ou literária, o judaísmo preconiza sempre a reflexão, o poder das palavras e a ação no mundo. Os sábios judeus da Antiguidade e os filósofos e rabinos da Contemporaneidade, mesmo divergindo sobre determinados pontos de vista, partilham de um senso ético em comum que é transmitido por gerações: a sabedoria só pode ser alcançada por intermédio de uma postura receptiva, o ego deve esvaziar-se, para que possa ser ocupado por valores mais altos. Amparados sob este prisma, os ensaios desta coletânea visam apresentar aos seus leitores e às suas leitoras, perspectivas judaicas singulares, que não buscam oferecer respostas, mas antes de tudo, desejam propiciar questionamentos interiores.
