‎Inheritance, Social Networks, Adaptation. Bronze and Early Iron Age Societies North of the Western Carpathians‎

‎Summary How did societies change between the Early Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age? And what was the impetus that led to these changes - social contacts and innovation, intergenerational contacts, or perhaps simply adaptation? Taking these questions as its starting point, this richly detailed volume explores four different regions of southern Poland to compare and contrast the mechanisms that drove socio-cultural change in the region between the second and the first half of the first millennium BC. Drawing on standardized sets of archaeological data, the chapters gathered here examine the interplay of different factors influencing cultural change across five key parameters: environment; settlement patterns; settlement organization; economy; and material culture. The result is a beautifully illustrated volume that offers important insights into Central and Eastern European prehistory, made accessible for an English-speaking audience.

‎Egisto Macchi: The Assassination of Trotsky. Sources of the Creative Process‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 156 pages, Size:240 x 340 mm, Illustrations:60 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593517.‎

‎Summary This volume traces Egisto Macchi's creative process for the soundtrack of The Assassination of Trotsky directed by Joseph Losey (1972). Through a close reading of the sources preserved at the Egisto Macchi Collection at the Institute of Music, Fondazione Giorgio Cini, (Venice) and at the Joseph Losey Collection at the British Film Institute (London), the book sheds light on the first collaboration between Losey and Macchi, which continued in the following years for the film Mr. Klein (1976). Why did Losey choose this apparently unknown composer? How did an avant-garde composer approach the cinematic system? What kind of audio-visual experience did Macchi and Losey explore through this film? To answer these questions, the volume deals with different aspects of the creative process, combining letters, notes, drafts, sketches, and the final orchestral scores. The introductory essay presents Egisto Macchi within the context of the Roman avant-garde and the cinematic environments of the Sixties and early-Seventies. The volume is complemented by a wide selection of sources reproduced in facsimile.‎

‎Milano, Silvana, 2012 Paperback with flaps, 280x220mm, 192p, 150 colour illustrations. ISBN 9788836622498.‎

‎In Spring 2012 the Museo d'Arte of Lugano will present in Villa Ciani a wide retrospective of the work of Tony Cragg (Liverpool, 1949), one of the most significant artists in the contemporary scene. Through some forty sculptures and assemblages, and a hundred drawings and etchings, the exhibition will retrace the artist's creative history from the late Seventies up to the most recent works. The exhibition in Lugano, and its accompanying catalogue, will however not be a simple presentation of the wide range of visual ideas and forms generated by the artist in the course of the years. The selection of the works on display and their sequence will also allow, together with the works on paper, to grasp the logic and the creative processes which lie at the basis of the most revolutionary shapes in contemporary sculpture. The catalogue will also include texts by Marco Franciolli and Guido Comis, as well as an interview to Tony Cragg never published before. English/ IT edition ‎

‎Renaissance Music in the Slavic World‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Paperback, 304 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:32 b/w, Languages: English, French, Italian. ISBN 9782503582429.‎

‎Summary In the essays collected in this volume, leading scholars from Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Poland, as well musicologists from Western Europe, take on the challenge of fulfilling a historiographical and cultural gap in music history by restoring the place of the countries of Central Europe that, as Milan Kundera put it succinctly, 'vanished from the map of the West'. The opportunity to consider 'other' renaissances enlarges the historiographical perspectives of Renaissance musicology, going beyond the traditional focus on the Franco-Flemish or Franco-Italian axis, and opens new scenarios on unexplored Renaissance music. What was it that happened on a cultural and musical level on the Dalmatian coast - influenced by the economic boost of a powerful Venice? The same question emerges when considering Habsburg Prague and its renewed, central role in the European political theatre, and as a reaffirmed capital that inaugurated a period of economic and cultural renaissance for the Bohemian Kingdom. How did the secularization process evolve in these territories, caught between the religion wars following the Counter-Reformation in the West, and the Turkish threat on the East? What peculiar features does the musical production of these territories reveal? The preference accorded to the expression Renaissance Music is not to be intended as a shortcut. The intention of the contributing scholars is to focus on, and to handle independently, the endogenous cultural production without considering it only as a phenomenon of importation or as the mere imitation of an existing model. In this way, borders reveal a dialectical function in the context of musical Humanism, revealing here, maybe for the first time, an authentic European dimension. The essays in this volume were undertaken within the framework of the European programme EACEA - Culture Programme 2007-2013 Aux confins de l'Humanisme musical: monde slave et culture méditerranéenne, developed between 2010 and 2012 by the Centre d'études supérieures de la Renaissance in Tours, the Matica Hrvastka - Ogranak Dubrovnik (Mediterranean Study Centre of Dubrovnik), the Univerzita Karlova v Praze, and the University of Palermo.

‎Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2007 Hardcover with dustjacket, 352 pages, 130 illustrations, 26 x 15.5 cm. ENG text fine! ISBN 9780521857970.‎

‎In this book, Clemente Marconi provides a new interpretation for the use of figural decoration in Greek temples of the archaic period, through a study of the archaic metopes of Selinus. The study of figural decoration on Greek temples has traditionally been identified with the broader study of architectural sculpture. At the same time, the original, articulated appearance of archaic temples has been fragmented into a discussion of individual types. Marconi argues against both the typological approach and the tendency to investigate style and iconography as two aspects unrelated to the cultural and social background within which temple decoration operated. He explores the relation between style and function and examines the function of figures on temples within the cultural and social context of the communities for which these images were created. Critical to this exploration are the reintegration of the figures into the fabric of buildings, the space of archaic sanctuaries and cities, and the ritual dimension that represented the context for the reception of the figural decoration of Greek temples.‎

‎Summary In the study of the ancient world, Babylon can be considered as the most impressive representation, historically, archaeologically, and in literature, of urbanism in the Near East. This first example of an urban centre and its cultural heritage ? both tangible and intangible ? provides a focal point for discussions of historical and cultural memory in the region. The eleven contributions gathered here draw together multidisciplinary research into Babylonian culture, exploring the epistemic foundations, contacts, resilience, and cultural transmission of the city and its milieu from ancient times up until the modern day. Through this approach, this volume is able to support conversations concerning the historical and cultural memory of Babylon and promote a dialogue that cuts across, and unites, both cultures and academic disciplines.

‎Summary Comment les Grecs et les Romains ont-ils représenté le singe, cet animal qui, dans la culture occidentale des deux derniers siècles, a surtout incarné de nouvelles possibilités de repenser la relation entre les hommes et les non-humains ? En dehors du paradigme évolutionniste élaboré par Darwin, sans les données de la génétique et le dispositif disciplinaire de la primatologie, les textes anciens ont construit d'autres représentations culturelles du singe sans le concevoir comme un cousin ou un parent proche avec lequel nous aurions un ancêtre commun. À travers une analyse philologique rigoureuse des textes anciens, des traités savants de la zoologie et la médecine grecques aux élaborations symboliquement plus complexes du théâtre comique ou de la fable, cette étude propose une analyse approfondie de la représentation discursive des primates non humains dans la culture antique. Des questions essentielles pour la compréhension des cultures anciennes - de l'anthropomorphisme des animaux au débat sur l'intelligence des vivants en passant par les élaborations autour de l'importante catégorie de la mimésis - sont abordées selon une approche d'anthropologie historique. Les relations interspécifiques, la représentation de l'altérité géographique et culturelle, les jugements de valeur exprimés sur les groupes minoritaires et marginaux seront traités à travers la perspective transversale donnée par l'analyse d'une partie spécifique de l'encyclopédie culturelle ancienne, à savoir le singe des Anciens.

‎Jean Colin (1881-1961) is a Brussels painter that is no longer known today because he often followed the way to realism. This way of painting, which while he was alive fully assured him success, has passed fashion and no longer draws art lovers. But Colin also left high level impressionist works that have no longer been shown since his death, works he painted for his own pleasure, conscious as he was that his conservative customers couldn't appreciate them. After Colin's death, most of his impressionist works were spread out between the members of his family-in-law or bordered in the museum reserves. This ?tribute? is the amazing story of what happened to Jean Colin and to his hidden masterpieces. The introduction essay is by Eric Min, biographer of James Ensor, Rik Wouters and Henri Evenepoel. Jean Colin (1881-1961) est un peintre bruxellois qu'on ne connait guere aujourd'hui parce qu'il a surtout suivi la voie du realisme.

Mais Colin a aussi laisse une ?uvre impressionniste de haut niveau sur laquelle on fit silence apres sa mort, des tableaux qu'il peignit pour son propre plaisir, conscient du fait que sa clientele conservatrice ne pouvait les apprecier. L'artiste disparu, la plupart de ses ?uvres impressionnistes furent reparties entre les membres de sa belle-famille ou confinees dans les reserves des musees.

Nochtans heeft Colin ook een meesterlijk impressionistisch oeuvre nagelaten, al werd geen enkel stuk ervan ooit postuum geexposeerd. Colin schilderde die doeken immers voor zijn eigen plezier.

‎Overzicht 40 jaar beeldend werk, met bijdragen van Marc Ruyters, Eric Rinckhout en Koen Leemans. Kris Fierens (°1957) gebruikt het karakter van een voorstudie of een schets als een volwaarding ding. Of in hun mogelijkheid imiteren ze het karakter van een voorstudie. Realiteit en emotie bereiken een virtueel nulpunt. De gebaren of gestes die hij hierbij stelt worden gewoon de 'objets trouvés'. Het object 'an sich' is nooit aanwezig. Het is de meegenomen materie die hem in staat stelt om zijn droom te redden. Sporen van iets dat zich nog moet voltrekken. Waarvan nu reeds een verdwijnende herinnering kan worden vastgehouden. Overview of 40 years fine arts, with contributions from Marc Ruyters, Eric Rinckhout and Koen Leemans. Kris Fierens (° 1957) uses the character of a preliminary study or a sketch as an enduring thing. Or, in their possibility they imitate the character of a preliminary study. Reality and emotion reach a virtual zero point. The gestures that he makes simply become the 'objets trouvés'. The object 'on his own' is never present. It's the included matter that enables him to save his dream. Traces of something that still needs to happen. Of which a disappearing memory can already be hold.‎

‎Frans Van Roosmaelen - Andoversium‎

‎, Stockmans, 2019 Hardcover 184 PAGES tekst nederlands. . ISBN 9789077207673.‎

‎Frans Van Roosmaelen Living greedily, painting generously ?Knallen? (to let it rip) is an expression Frans Van Roosmaelen liked. In his paintings he allowed colours and strokes to rip with outright joy, in his life he went looking eagerly for extreme experiences. To his inner circle he would admit that he needed to be charged, certainly sexually, to be able to paint. Absence of such tension had repercussions for his art. Greedily he would explore the bleak realms of life which generously bore witness in his drawings, paintings and collages. Frans Van Roosmaelen needed the high to be creative. What he sucked from life he gave back in restless generous works of art, charged with ecstasy and violence, primal urges, but also great myths of life and death.‎
