Bibliography of Art and Architecture in the Islamic World (2 vols.)
Following the tradition and style of the acclaimed Index Islamicus, the editors have created this new Bibliography of Art and Architecture in the Islamic World. The editors have surveyed and annotated a wide range of books and articles from collected volumes and journals published in all European languages (except Turkish) between 1906 and 2011. This comprehensive bibliography is an indispensable tool for everyone involved in the study of material culture in Muslim societies.
La muerte de los príncipes en la Edad Media
Siguiendo un claro enfoque multidisciplinar, este libro presenta un balance historiográfico sobre la muerte de los príncipes en la Edad Media, tanto hispana como francesa, entendiendo el término «príncipes» en su sentido más amplio. No solo se examinan casos particulares relativos a los miembros de la familia regia, sino que se profundiza también en los diversos ámbitos de la aristocracia eclesiástica, militar y urbana. Desde la ritualización funeraria —liturgia, música—, la memoria cronística y documental, las obras de arte o su reflejo en la literatura, hasta la antropología física, los estudios presentados se enfocan a calibrar la relación de la muerte y su tratamiento con la imagen del poder que dichas élites proyectan y su emulación por parte de los restantes grupos sociales.
On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art
Can contemporary art say anything about spirituality? John Updike calls modern art "a religion assembled from the fragments of our daily life," but does that mean that contemporary art is spiritual? What might it mean to say that the art you make expresses your spiritual belief? On the Strange Place of Religion in Contemporary Art explores the curious disconnection between spirituality and current art. This book will enable you to walk into a museum and talk about the spirituality that is or is not visible in the art you see.
