Contending Representations II: Entangled Republican Spaces in Early Modern Venice

Summary The volume addresses the issue of political celebration in early modern Venice. Dealing with processional orders and iconographic programs, historiographical narratives and urbanistic canons, stylistic features and diplomatic accounts, the interdisciplinary contributions gathered in these pages aim to question the performative effectiveness and the social consistency of the so called 'myth' of Venice: a system of symbols, beliefs and meanings offering a self-portrait of the ruling elite, the Venetian patriciate. In order to do so, the volume calls for a spatial turn in Venetian studies, blurring the boundaries between institutionalized and unofficial ceremonial spaces and considering their ongoing interaction in representing the rule of the Serenissima. The twelve chapters move from Palazzo Ducale to the Venetian streets and from the city of Venice to its dominions, thus widening considerably the range of social and political actors and audiences involved in the analysis. Such multifocal perspective allows us to challenge the very idea of a single 'myth' of Venice. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1.

Inventing Past Narratives. Venice and the Adriatic Space (13th?15th Centuries)
, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2024 Paperback, Pages: 108 pages, Size:210 x 270 mm, Illustrations:10 b/w, 49 col. Language(s):English. ISBN 9788028004644.
By the late Middle Ages, Venice became the main stage of a national and international myth: while enhancing its historical role in the past, the city tried to demonstrate the legitimacy of its role in the present. In fact, for celebrating its triumph and erasing its weaknesses and defeats, Venice generated a rich repertoire of past narratives that were bringing together heterogeneous materials, by composing unconnected pieces and attributing new meanings to different histories or objects from other pasts. An ambitious goal had to be achieved: that of creating the impression of a unique and grandiose city whose roots were lost in a remote and magnificent past. The result is a patchwork that, through the longue dur e approach, has been articulated around both new and ancient stories, local and foreign myths, reconstructed or rediscovered objects and narratives. In order to investigate more precisely the trajectories of the Venetian past narratives, this volume intends to determine, through an interdisciplinary prism, which are the different strategies, objectives, and resources that have been exploited in the framework of these past narratives.
