Musicians' Mobilities and Music Migrations in Early Modern Europe
Biographical Patterns and Cultural Exchanges
AvGesa zur Nieden,Berthold Over
Häftad, Engelska, 2016
528 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
During the 17th and 18th century musicians' mobilities and migrations are essential for the European music history and the cultural exchange of music. Adopting viewpoints that reflect different methodological approaches and diversified research cultures, the book presents studies on central scopes, strategies and artistic outcomes of mobile and migratory musicians as well as on the transfer of music. By looking at elite and non-elite musicians and their everyday mobilities to major and minor centers of music production and practice, new biographical patterns and new stylistic paradigms in the European East, West and South emerge.
Recounting Deviance
Forms and Practices of Presenting Divergent Behaviour in the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period
AvJorg Rogge
Häftad, Engelska, 2016
355 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
How do historical sources narrate or recount deviance? Is there a relationship between the manner in which divergent behaviour is recounted and the type of source in which this behaviour is presented?The articles present examples of the recounting of deviance by using, amongst others, sources such as chronicles, travel accounts and court records from 15th century England, 15th/16th century Germany, 17th century Spain, 17th/18th century Venice and 17th/18th century Italy and France. It can be asserted that different types of narrative patterns to recount deviance occur intermingled in the cases discussed.
Nile: Natural and Cultural Landscape in Egypt
Proceedings of the International Symposium held at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universitt Mainz, 22 & 23 February 2013
AvHarco Willems,Jan-Michael Dahms
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
461 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
Although Herodot's dictum that "Egypt is a gift of the Nile" is proverbial, there has been only scant attention to the way the river impacted on ancient Egyptian society. Egyptologists frequently focus on the textual and iconographic record, whereas archaeologists and earth scientists approach the issue from the perspective of natural sciences. The contributions in this volume bridge this gap by analyzing the river both as a natural and as a cultural phenomenon. Adopting an approach of cultural ecology, it addresses issues like ancient land use, administration and taxation, irrigation, and religious concepts.
Killing and Being Killed: Bodies in Battle – Perspectives on Fighters in the Middle Ages
AvJörg Rogge,Jörg Rogge
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
461 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
What bodily experiences did fighters make through their lifetime and especially in violent conflicts? How were the bodies of fighters trained, nourished, and prepared for combat? How did they respond to wounds, torture and the ubiquitous risk of death?The articles present examples of body techniques of fighters and their perception throughout the Middle Ages. The geographical scope ranges from the Anglo-Scottish borderlands over Central Europe up to the Mediterranean World. This larger framework enables the reader to trace the similarities and differences of the cultural practice of "Killing and Being Killed" in various contexts.Contributions by Iain MacInnes, Alastair J. Macdonald, Bogdan-Petru Maleon, and others.
Finding, Inheriting or Borrowing? – Construction and Transfer of Knowledge in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
AvJochen Althoff,Dominik Berrensm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
834 kr
Skickas inom 11-20 vardagar
Since the dawn of humanity, people have developed concepts about themselves and the natural world in which they live. This volume aims at investigating the construction and transfer of such concepts between and within various ancient and medieval cultures. The single contributions try to answer questions concerning the sources of knowledge, the strategies of transfer and legitimation as well as the conceptual changes over time and space. After a comprehensive introduction, the volume is divided into three parts: The contributions of the first section treat various theoretical and methodological aspects. Two additional thematic sections deal with a special field of knowledge, i.e. concepts of the moon and of the end of the world in fire.

"Doing Cultural History" collects papers on a variety of topics. The issues addressed span from the 12th to the 21st century and include the communication of peace in written and pictorial sources, narrative structures in legal texts, masculinity and violence, and new research into Scottish medieval history as well as a comparison of religious theme parks and the perception of sorcery and false saintliness in early modern Spain.
Operatic Pasticcios in Eighteenth–Century Europe – Contexts, Materials, and Aesthetics
AvBerthold Over,Gesa Zur Niedenm. fl.
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
650 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
In Early Modern times, techniques of assembling, compiling and arranging pre-existing material were part of the established working methods in many arts. In the world of 18th-century opera, such practices ensured that operas could become a commercial success because the substitution or compilation of arias fitting the singer's abilities proved the best recipe for fulfilling the expectations of audiences. Known as »pasticcios« since the 18th-century, these operas have long been considered inferior patchwork. The volume collects essays that reconsider the pasticcio, contextualize it, define its preconditions, look at its material aspects and uncover its aesthetical principles.
