Exodus in the Jewish Experience: Echoes and Reverberations investigates how the Exodus has been, and continues to be, a crucial source of identity for both Jews and Judaism. It explores how the Exodus has functioned as the primary hermeneutical model from which Jews have created theological meaning and historical self-understanding.
La obra cubre el periodo de formación que Goya pasó en Roma entre los años 1769-1771, apoyado por el descubrimiento de la pintura "Aníbal vencedor que por primera vez miró Italia desde los Alpes " y de su "Cuaderno italiano" en el que el propio artista aclara su evolución con un buen número de dibujos, bocetos para obras definitivas, datos de viaje y comentarios profesionales y familiares que vienen a reivindicar la decisiva importancia de esta etapa en su desarrollo posterior.
This comprehensive study of Rome’s contribution to the early history of photography traces the medium’s rise from a fledgling science to a dynamic form of artistic expression that forever changed the way we perceive the Eternal City. The authors examine the diverse transnational group of photographers who thrived in the cosmopolitan art center of Rome—and the pivotal role they played in the refinement and technical development of the nascent medium in the nineteenth century. The book ranges from the earliest pioneers—the French daguerreotypist Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey and the Welsh calotypist Calvert Richard Jones—to the work of the Roman School of Photography and its successors, among them James Anderson and Robert Macpherson of Britain; Frédéric Flachéron, Firmin Eugène Le Dien, and Gustave Le Gray of France; and Giacomo Caneva, Adriano de Bonis, and Pietro Dovizielli of Italy. Lavishly illustrated with 112 plates, many never before published, by nearly fifty practitioners, this volume expands our understanding of the place of Rome in early photography.

Des portraits. Voilà ce qui vient à l'esprit du spectateur lorsqu'il voit les séries de saintes vierges et martyres de l'atelier de Zurbarán. C'est de cette impression que naît la réflexion conduite ici sur des saintes qui font l'objet d'un culte ancestral. Pour être en mesure de définir l'image de ces figures tant sur le plan de l'histoire locale que sur celui de l'histoire nationale, divers parcours géographiques et de multiples changements d'échelle sont nécessaires. Car ces saintes constituent un ensemble à la fois hétérogène et homogène, une ambivalence que cette étude ne cherche pas à réduire. Partant du principe que le culte est inséparable de l'image, l'ouvrage s'appuie sur des oeuvres écrites et sur des centaines de représentations iconographiques. L'auteur envisage de manière concomitante la mise en scène de ces saintes, leur mise en récit, en mots, en peinture, dans l'Espagne de Philippe III et de Philippe IV.
'His Pen and Ink are a Powerful Mirror' is a volume of collected essays in honor of Ross Brann, written by his students and friends on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The essays engage with a diverse range of Andalusi and Mediterranean literature, art, and history. Each essay begins from the organic hybridity of Andalusi literary and cultural history as its point of departure, introduce new texts, ideas, and objects into the disciplinary conversation or radically reassesses well-known ones, and represent the theoretical, methodological, and material impacts Brann has had and continues to have on the study of the literature and culture of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in al-Andalus. Contributors include: Ali Humayn Akhtar, Esperanza Alfonso, Peter Cole, Jonathan Decter, Elisabeth Hollender, Uriah Kfir, S.J. Pearce, F.E. Peters, Arturo Prats, Cynthia Robinson, Tova Rosen, Aurora Salvatierra, Raymond P. Scheindlin, Jessica Streit, David Torollo.
