The Old Testament: Canon Literature and Theology Collected Essays of John Barton

The Old Testament: Canon Literature and Theology Collected Essays of John Barton

John Barton's distinctive writing reflects a commitment to a 'liberal' approach to the Bible which places a high value on traditional biblical criticism and also seeks to show how evocative and full of insight the biblical texts are and how they can contribute to modern theological concerns. This invaluable selection of published writings by one of the leading authorities on biblical text and canon also includes new essays and editorial introductions from the author. | The Old Testament: Canon Literature and Theology Collected Essays of John Barton

Angel Song: Medieval English Music in History

Angel Song: Medieval English Music in History

Although medieval English music has been relatively neglected in comparison with repertoire from France and Italy there are few classical musicians today who have not listened to the thirteenth-century song ‘Sumer is icumen in’ or read of the achievements and fame of fifteenth-century composer John Dunstaple. Similarly the identification of a distinctively English musical style (sometimes understood as the contenance angloise) has been made on numerous occasions by writers exploring the extent to which English ideas influenced polyphonic composition abroad. Angel song: Medieval English music in history examines the ways in which the standard narratives of English musical history have been crafted from the Middle Ages to the present. Colton challenges the way in which the concept of a canon of English music has been built around a handful of pieces composers and practices each of which offers opportunities for a reappraisal of English musical and devotional cultures between 1250 and 1460.

Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

This book theorizes digital logics and applications for the rhetorical canon of delivery. Digital writing technologies invite a re-evaluation about what delivery can offer to rhetorical studies and writing practices. Sean Morey argues that what delivery provides is access to the unspeakable unconscious elements of rhetoric not primarily through emotion or feeling as is usually offered by previous studies but affect a domain of sensation implicit in the (overlooked) original Greek term for delivery hypokrisis. Moreover the primary means for delivering affect is both the logic and technology of a network construed as modern digital networks but also networks of associations between humans and nonhuman objects. Casting delivery in this light offers new rhetorical trajectories that promote its incorporation into digital networked-bodies. Given its provocative and broad reframing of delivery this book provides original robust ways to understand rhetorical delivery not only through a lens of digital writing technologies but all historical means of enacting delivery offering implications that will ultimately affect how scholars of rhetoric will come to view not only the other canons of rhetoric but rhetoric as a whole. | Rhetorical Delivery and Digital Technologies Networks Affect Electracy

Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

This book explores six texts from across Spanish America in which the coming-of-age story ('Bildungsroman') offers a critique of gendered selfhood as experienced in the region’s socio-cultural contexts. Looking at a range of novels from the late twentieth century Staniland explores thematic concerns in terms of their role in elucidating a literary journey towards agency: that is towards the articulation of a socially and personally viable female gendered identity mindful of both the hegemonic discourses that constrain it and the possibility of their deconstruction and reconfiguration. Myth exile and the female body are the three central themes for understanding the personal social and political aims of the Post-Boom women writers whose work is explored in this volume: Isabel Allende Laura Esquivel Ángeles Mastretta Sylvia Molloy Cristina Peri Rossi and Zoé Valdés. Their adoption and adaptation of an originally eighteenth-century and European literary genre is seen here to reshape the global canon as much as it works to reshape our understanding of gendered identities as socially constructed culturally contingent and open-ended. | Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature

Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

Foreword by Adrian Forty. The Algarve is not only Portugal’s foremost tourism region. Uniquely Mediterranean in an Atlantic country its building customs have long been markers of historical and cultural specificity attracting both picturesque driven conservatives and modernists seeking their lineage. Modernism regionalism and the ‘vernacular’ – three essential tropes of twentieth-century architecture culture – converged in the region’s building identity construct and often the subject of strictly metropolitan elaborations they are examined here from a peripheral standpoint instead. Drawing on work that won the Royal Institute of British Architects President’s Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis in 2013 Algarve Building challenges the conventional inclusion of Portuguese modern architecture in ‘Critical Regionalism’ narratives. A fine-grain reconstruction of the debates and cultures at play locally exposes the extra-architectural and widely participated antecedents of the much-celebrated mid-century shift towards the regional. Uncelebrated architects and a cast of other players (clients officials engineers and builders) contributed to maturing a regional strand of modern architecture that more than being the heroic outcome of a hard-fought ‘battle’ by engaged designers against a conservative establishment became truly popular in the Algarve. Algarve Building shows more broadly what the processes that have been appropriated by the canon of architectural history and theory – such as the presence of folk traditions and regional variation in learned architecture – stand to gain when observed in local everyday practices. The grand narratives and petites histoires of architecture can be enriched questioned revised and confirmed by an unprejudiced return to its facts and sources – the buildings the documents the discourses the agents and the archives. | Algarve Building Modernism Regionalism and Architecture in the South of Portugal 1925-1965

The Cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in Late-Medieval Nuremberg Saint and the City

The Cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in Late-Medieval Nuremberg Saint and the City

Katherine of Alexandria was a major object of devotion within medieval Europe ranking second only to the Virgin Mary in the canon of female saints. Yet despite her undoubted importance relatively little is known about the significance and function of her cult within the German-speaking territories that stood at the heart of Europe. Anne Simon's study adds a welcome new interdisciplinary perspective to the study of Saint Katherine and the wider ecclesiastical landscape of a medieval Europe poised on the edge of religious change. Taking as a case study the wealthy and politically influential merchant city of Nuremberg this book draws on a wide variety of textual and visual sources to explore interrelated themes: the shaping of urban space through the cult of Saint Katherine; her role in the moulding and advertising patrician identity and alliances through cultural patronage; and patrician use of the saint to showcase the city's political economic cultural and religious importance at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Further the book reveals the construction of exemplarity in Saint Katherine's legend and miracles and their resonance within the context of the city and the Dominican Convent of Saint Katherine whose nuns came from the same status-aware confident patrician elite that so loyally supported successive Emperors. Filling a significant gap in current research the work has much to offer scholars of medieval history hagiography art history German studies cultural and urban studies. Hence it not only expands our understanding of Saint Katherine's importance in German-speaking territories but also adds to the picture of her cult in its European perspective. | The Cult of Saint Katherine of Alexandria in Late-Medieval Nuremberg Saint and the City

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German architecture prior to the modern period has received less systemic analytical study than that of Italy France and Britain. Scholarly discussion of broad traditions or continuities within Germanic or Central European façade design is even sparser. Baroque era studies of the region mostly devote themselves to isolated architects monuments or movements. Modernism's advent decisively changed this: Germanic architecture enjoyed sudden ascendancy. Yet even so study specifically of that region's façades still lagged – nothing compares to the dozens of treatments of Le Corbusier's façade systems for example and how these juxtapose with French neoclassical or Italian Renaissance methods. Given the paucity of multi-period studies one can be forgiven for believing Germany's effervescence of radical modern works seems unprecedented. This book takes up these multiple quandaries. It identifies and documents a previously unrecognized compositional tradition - characterized here as the 'screen façade' – and posits it as a counter-narrative critiquing the essentialist 'authentic' canon currently dominant in Western architectural history. By crossing evenly over the dividing line between the historical and modern periods it offers valuable insights on indigenous roots underlying some aspects of Germany's invigorating early twentieth-century architectural developments. The book chronologically examines 400 years of closely related facades concentrated in Germany but also found in Austria the Czech Republic German-speaking Switzerland and nearby areas of Central Europe. While nearly 75 buildings are mentioned and illustrated a dozen are given extensive analysis and the book focuses on the works of three architects – Schinkel Behrens and Mies. Relationships between examples of these three architects' façades far transcend mere homage amongst masters. Glimmers of the system they eventually codify are apparent as early as at Heidelberg Castle in 1559 and Nürnberg's Rathaus in 1622. The book argues that in Germany northern Gothic affinities for bisection intense repetition and rote aggregation intersected with southern Classical affinities for symmetry hierarchy and centrality thereby spawning a unique hybrid product – the screen. Instead of graphic formality this study is guided by on-site perceptions propositional contrasts means of approach interpretive conflicts and emotion and it relates the design of these façades to concepts proposed by contemporary philosophers including Novalis Hegel Nietzsche Freud Adorno and most importantly Gadamer on hermeneutics. | German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism
