Feeling Exclusion: Religious Conflict, Exile and Emotions in Early Modern Europe investigates the emotional experience of exclusion at the heart of the religious life of persecuted and exiled individuals and communities in early modern Europe.Between the late fifteenth and early eighteenth centuries an unprecedented number of people in Europe were forced to flee their native lands and live in a state of physical or internal exile as a result of religious conflict and upheaval. Drawing on new insights from history of emotions methodologies, Feeling Exclusion explores the complex relationships between communities in exile, the homelands from which they fled or were exiled, and those from whom they sought physical or psychological assistance. It examines the various coping strategies religious refugees developed to deal with their marginalization and exclusion, and investigates the strategies deployed in various media to generate feelings of exclusion through models of social difference, that questioned the loyalty, values, and trust of "others".Accessibly written, divided into three thematic parts, and enhanced by a variety of illustrations, Feeling Exclusion is perfect for students and researchers of early modern emotions and religion.

Shortlisted for the 2008 Katharine Briggs Award. For centuries the witch has been a powerful figure in the European imagination; but the creation of this figure has been hidden from our view. Charles Zika’s groundbreaking study investigates how the visual image of the witch was created in late fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Europe. He charts the development of the witch as a new visual subject, showing how the traditional imagery of magic and sorcery of medieval Europe was transformed into the sensationalist depictions of witches in the pamphlets and prints of the sixteenth century.This book shows how artists and printers across the period developed key visual codes for witchcraft, such as the cauldron and the riding of animals. It demonstrates how influential these were in creating a new iconography for representing witchcraft incorporating themes such as the power of female sexuality, male fantasy, moral reform, divine providence and punishment, the superstitions of non-Christian peoples and the cannibalism of the new world.Lavishly illustrated and encompassing in its approach, The Appearance of Witchcraft is the first systematic study of the visual representation of witchcraft in the later fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It will give the reader a unique insight into how the image of the witch evolved in the early modern world.

This collection extends and deepens understanding of the political, social, and cultural contexts through which the meanings of Dürer's works can be perceived, and focuses on images which provide insights into his rich cultural milieu. Expanding views of nature and landscape, cultural strategies of collecting, the construction of national cultural identity, the humanist concern for a moral life, the transgressions of sexual order, and the gendered rituals of courtship are just some of the contemporary discourses and practices to which Dürer's works are linked. Also discussed is the manner in which images were viewed in the early-sixteenth century, and the powers and dangers with which they were associated, and the collection concludes with an appreciation of the changing historical role which Dürer himself has had within the European cultural tradition.

The Material and Emotional Worlds of Albrecht Dürer’s Nuremberg explores the life, work, and artistic creativity of Albrecht Dürer within the vibrant cultural, economic, and material world of Nuremberg around 1500, offering fresh interdisciplinary insights into the objects, emotions, and experiences that shaped his art and legacy.Nuremberg c.1500 was one of the most important and dynamic political, economic and cultural centres in Europe. It was also home to Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), a leading artist of the Renaissance. Dürer was not a solitary figure, but part of an extensive network of skilled craftspeople and artists, humanists and entrepreneurs, embedded in the rich, everyday economic, material, cultural, and religious environment and experience of his city. This interdisciplinary collection of essays is the first to explicitly situate the artist and his work within this world of manufactured objects and materials, the driving power of the emotional resonances and investments engendered by these objects, and the spatial, sensory, and ritual experiences that shaped his relationships and art making. It casts new light on everyday and extraordinary objects in Dürer’s work and shows how his feelings about the material world were critical to his artistic creativity, his creation of new imagery, and his pre-eminence as an artist during and after his lifetime.This book will be of vital interest to scholars, students, museum professionals, and a broader public interested in new, multi-disciplinary perspectives on the worlds of Albrecht Dürer.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
