Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 80,00 | | Descrizione | Continuity and change enclose a problem field that is fundamental to the interpretation of historical material. On the one hand the notions that are necessary to perceive the historical account as a narrative: continuity, tradition, constancy, consistency, identity; on the other those that provide an impetus or drive to that account: change, innovation, rupture, or discontinuity.
Resonances: Historical Essays on Continuity and Change explores the historiographical question of the modes of interrelation between these motifs in historical narratives. The essays in the collection attempt to realize theoretical consciousness through historical narrative in practice, by discussing selected historical topics from Western cultural history, within the disciplines of history, literature, visual arts, musicology, archaeology, philosophy, and theology.
The title Resonances indicates the overall perspective of the book: how connotations of past meanings may resonate through time, in new contexts, assuming new meanings without surrendering the old. |  Aggiungi al Carrello |

The Appearances of Medieval Rituals. The Play of Construction and Modification
| Edizione: | Brepols Publishers, 2005 | | Collana: | Disputatio |

Indicativamente procurabile in 15-20 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 75,00 | | Descrizione | Appearances can be deceptive; and medieval ritual practices are in this respect no exception. They perform stability through the codification of repetitive modes of behaviour and simultaneously admit flexibility in their integration of newer forms of representation. They mask the historical contingencies of their own creation and construct alternative narratives of authority and continuity. They do not simply appear; their appearance reflects the mutual interplay of construction and modification. This collection of eleven essays which chronologically spans the period from the Carolingians to the Catholic Reform movement of the later sixteenth century explores this double-edged potential in the appearance of medieval ritual practices; and, in this case, chiefly church rituals. It comprises a series of individual studies by scholars of literature, theology, music, and the visual arts. Each study examines a particular moment of change or transformation in ritual practices, illuminating, thereby, processes of ritualization. In this way, the book both provides an impulse to the recent renewal of methodological interest in ritual studies and presents individual contributions to specific scholarly discourses within this broad area. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
