Sem dúvida alguma a história do trabalho é um dos ramos mais punjantes e promissores da historiografia brasileira na atualidade. Dialogando com seus parceiros de diversas partes do mundo, bem como com outras areas de conhecimento, como a Antropologia, a Sociologia e o Direito, os(as) historiadores(as) do trabalho no Brasil tem contribuido no apenas para o campo especifico, mas tambem para os estudos historicos como um todo, ao discutirem questes, categorias e metodologias como narrativa, classe, direito, identidade, cultura, historia oral e pesquisa em documentos judiciais. Este livro e um belo exemplo do vigor do campo. Trazendo textos de pesquisadores(as) consagrados(as) e iniciantes, com diversas filiaçes institucionais, a obra oferece excelentes reflexes sobre a Justiça como objeto de pesquisa da historia do trabalho, as culturas de oficio e a luta de trabalhadores(as), e os acervos ligados a esse ambito de investigaço. Em seu conjunto, as contribuiçes oferecem novas possibilidades de olhar para o passado em um momento de ataque frontal aos direitos dos(as) trabalhadores(as), to duramente conquistados.

Alison Stones has taught History of Art and Architecture in the USA since 1969 and has enjoyed Visiting Fellowships at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Paris. She is a specialist in illuminated manuscripts, co-authoring Les Manuscrits de Chretien de Troyes (1993), The Pilgrims Guide to Santiago de Compostela, A Critical Edition (1998), and writing Le Livre dimages de Madame Marie (Paris, BNF n.a.fr. 16251) (1997), and Gautier de Coinci, Miracles, Music and Manuscripts (2006). Her four-volume study, Manuscripts Illuminated in France, Gothic Manuscripts 1260-1320 was published in 2013 and 2014. Her research has been supported by the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, the Fulbright Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, a Correspondant etranger honoraire of the Societe nationale des Antiquaires de France and a Chevalier de lOrdre des Arts et des Lettres. These two volumes collect and update Professor Stoness papers on Arthurian manuscript illustration, one of her continuing passions. These essays explore aspects of the iconography of the romances of Chretien de Troyes in French verse, the lengthy Lancelot-Grail romance in French prose, and other versions of the chivalrous exploits of King Arthurs knights - the best-sellers of the Middle Ages. Illustrated copies of these romances survive in huge numbers from the early thirteenth century through the beginnings of print, and were read for their text and their pictures throughout the French-speaking world. Of special interest is the cultural context in which these popular works were made and disseminated, by scribes and artists whose work encompassed all kinds of books, for patrons whose collecting was wide-ranging, including secular books alongside works of liturgical and devotional interest.

Using the great south-Italian monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno, one of the best preserved monasteries of the earliest Middle Ages, as a case-study and heuristic paradigm, John Mitchell has engaged in a wide-ranging examination of the ways in which visual culture was developed and deployed by ambitious states and institutions in early medieval Europe. The present volume includes studies on the cultural dynamics of Italy and its contribution to the visual complexion of Europe in the period, as well as essays on many aspects of the artistic culture of San Vincenzo, including a series of papers on the display of script in the physical fabric of the monastery and the prominent role it played in its self-image.

Set Me as a Seal Upon Thy Heart: Constructions of Female Sanctity in Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Early Modern Period is a collection of essays focusing on saintly womens representations both in Eastern and Western Christianity starting from Late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages and Early Modernity. The volume discusses two different categories in relation to the conceptualization of female sanctity: the context of their construction in hagiographic sources and the emergent power rendered by their martyrdoms. It offers a transdisciplinary perspective on the present research carried out in the fields of hagiography, history, and art history.

Este livro, composto de seis estudos, é resultado do I Encontro do Núcleo de Estudos de História do Catolicismo. O objetivo do evento foi o de realizar um estudo de aprofundamento crítico sobre o Concilio de Trento (1545-1563). Na atualidade, diversos grupos religiosos apresentam em seudiscurso alguma tematica referente ao Concilio. O evento e este livro, mais ainda, procurou priorizar determinadas tematicas para a discusso. Outro intuito e o de verificar se discursos e praticas ditas "tridentinas" contribuem para uma postura de dialogo da instituiço catolica na sociedade hodierna diante das relaçes politicas com o Estado brasileiro. Afinal, Trento trouxe para seu tempo uma nova identidade catolica em resposta a situaço da propria instituiço e ao grande fator denominado de Reforma Protestante. Essa identidade foi construida, desconstruida e reconstruida ao longo dos seculos. Neste percurso nos deparamos com o Concilio Vaticano II (1962-1965) que se propea dialogar com a sociedade contemporanea. Voltar a Trento e em seu contexto e um privilegio para uma leitura da realidade atual. Sem duvida, o Vaticano II representa uma possibilidade de dialogo com a sociedade e, assim, inicia uma nova identidade catolica sem romper com a Tradiço. Ney de Souza.

Emotion and the Seduction of the Senses, Baroque to Neo-Baroque examines the relationship between the cultural productions of the baroque in the seventeenth century and the neo-baroque in our contemporary world. The volume illuminates how, rather than providing rationally ordered visual realms, both the baroque and the neo-baroque construct complex performative spaces whose spectacle seeks to embrace, immerse, and seduce the senses and solicit the emotions of the beholder.

En el peor momento de su vida, nuestro protagonista decide escapar y realizar un viaje que tenía pendiente desde siempre: Mustang, el último reino perdido. Ubicado al norte del Annapurna, cerca del nacimiento del rio Kali Gandaki, es un lugar del Tibet dentro de Nepal donde se conservan thankas y enormes estatuas de budas y deidades que representan su cultura ancestral y cuya forma de vida y apariencia permanece casi intacta desde el siglo XV. Adentrate en su capital, Lo Manthang, ciudad cerrada a los extranjeros occidentales hasta mediados del s. XX, atravesando increibles gargantas rocosas y paisajes lunares de la gran meseta tibetana. Explora la cultura del Nepal mas recondito y menos turistico, conoce a sus habitantes llenos de hospitalidad y conocimientos profundos relacionados con la condicion humana y la vida, y descubre el proceso sanador gracias al cual el protagonista vera sus conflictos y problemas desde otra perspectiva, estableciendo un paralelismo de su dramatica situacion anterior con el sufrimiento y la resistencia de ese pueblo oculto y perdido tanto en el tiempo como en el espacio, cuyos lugareños viven felices a pesar del hostigamiento externo y de unas condiciones de vida tan duras. Cuando alguien sale de su mundo habitual y toma conciencia de la fugacidad de la vida, puede mirar dentro de si mismo con mayor lucidez y meditar sobre el camino vital recorrido y, a su vez, puede divisar el horizontey el camino que le queda por recorrer con mayor perspicacia y amplitud de miras.

This is the first official guidebook to the site of ancient Corinth published by the ASCSA in over 50 years, and it comes fully updated with the most current information, color photos, maps, and plans. It is an indispensable resource for the casual tourist or professional archaeologist new to the site. The guide begins with a history of Corinth and its excavations and then presents two tours. The first takes visitors through the archaeological site from the Temple of Apollo to the Forum, the Fountain of Peirene, and more. The second tour covers the ancient monuments outside the fenced area of the site, including the Odeion, the Theater, and the Asklepieion, and then the various remains of ancient Corinth located within and outside the ancient Greek walls, including the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore and the Lechaion Basilica. Short bibliographic notes for many entries lead the reader to fuller descriptions of monuments, objects, and concepts; a glossary is also provided. Interspersed in the text are topographical notes and focus boxes on special topics such as geology, Pausanias, St. Paul, and prehistoric Corinth and the Corinthia.

A highly entertaining read for anyone with even a passing interest in art and art history.This myth-busting book takes you on a great ride through the lives of starving (and not so starving) artists, unusual exhibitions and painting blunders throughout history. In the intriguing, outrageous and often provoking world of the visual arts, nothing is quite as it seems.From the worlds first intance of photobombing in 1843 to the Damien Hirst spot painting that landed on Mars, the destruction of Vincent van Goghs Sunflowers during World War II and the 3,500 sheet of paper crumpled into a ball, Everything You Know About Art is Wrong will confound your assumptions about the world of art and perhaps even the place of art in the world.

Escrito pelo homem que lutou para dar a Olinda o título de Patrimônio Cultural da Humanidade, Olinda no Coração: História afetiva da Cidade-Humanidade, de Germano Coelho, é uma carta de amor à cidade

The Temple of Athena at Sounion has long been recognized as one of the most unusual buildings in the architectural history of Greece. Its plan, with columns uniquely on the front and only one side, is unparalleled in the Greek world. Excavations of the temple and other buildings there, however, were complicated by the fact that many architectural pieces from the site had been reused in a Roman temple in the Athenian Agora. Here, Barletta provides a fascinating examination of the early excavations at Sounion, the debate over who was worshipped at the so-called Small Temple within the sanctuary, the varied architectural influences on the Temple of Athena, and the later use of its architectural pieces in the Athenian Agora. Building on unpublished work by William B. Dinsmoor Jr. and Homer A. Thompson, this study represents the first comprehensive view of the temple and its sanctuary.

In William Blakes America a Prophecy (Illustrated Edition), the author delves into the complex themes of revolution and spiritual awakening, set against the backdrop of the American Revolution. Blakes literary style, characterized by vivid imagery and lyrical prose, transports the reader into a mystical world where political struggles intertwine with spiritual revelations. The inclusion of illustrations adds a visual layer to the text, enhancing the readers immersive experience and making the prophetic visions come alive. This work is a prime example of Blakes unique approach to blending poetry and visual art, creating a multi-dimensional reading experience that challenges traditional literary boundaries. The book also provides insight into Blakes visionary beliefs and his critique of societal norms, making it a valuable addition to the study of Romantic literature and political philosophy.

Rescue excavations were carried out along the terrace north of Ancient Corinth by Henry Robinson, the director of the Corinth Excavations, and the American School of Classical Studies at Athens on behalf of the Greek Archaeological Service, in 1961 and 1962. They revealed 70 tile graves, limestone sarcophagi, and cremation burials (the last are rare in Corinth before the Julian colony), and seven chamber tombs (also rare before the Roman period). The burials ranged in date from the 5th century B.C. to the 6th century A.D., and about 240 skeletons were preserved for study. This volume publishes the results of these excavations and examines the evidence for changing burial practices in the Greek city, Roman colony, and Christian town. Documented are single graves and deposits, the Robinson "Painted Tomb," two more hypogea, and four built chamber tombs. Ethne Barnes describes the human skeletal remains, and David Reese discusses the animal bones found in the North Terrace tombs. The author further explores the architecture of the chamber tombs as well as cemeteries, burial practices, and funeral customs in ancient Corinth. One appendix addresses a Roman chamber tomb at nearby Hexamilia, excavated in 1937; the second, by David Jordan, the lead tablets from a chamber tomb and its well. Concordances, grave index numbers, Corinth inventory numbers, and indexes follow. This study will be of interest to classicists, historians of several periods, and scholars studying early Christianity.
