Representing Wars from 1860 to the Present examines representations of war in literature, film, photography, memorials, and the popular press. The volume breaks new ground in cutting across disciplinary boundaries and offering case studies on a wide variety of fields of vision and action, and types of conflict: from civil wars in the USA, Spain, Russia and the Congo to recent western interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the case of World War Two, Representing Wars emphasises idiosyncratic and non-western perspectives – specifically those of Japanese writers Hayashi and Ooka. A central concern of the thirteen contributors has been to investigate the ethical and ideological implications of specific representational choices. Contributors are: Claire Bowen, Catherine Ann Collins, Marie-France Courriol, Éliane Elmaleh, Teresa Gibert, William Gleeson, Catherine Hoffmann, Sandrine Lascaux, Christopher Lloyd, Monica Michlin, Guillaume Muller, Misako Nemoto, Clément Sigalas.

First published in 1999, this book explores how, from the stone bridges of neoclassicism which soar out of wild woods to span pastoral valleys to the post-1750 engineer's bridge with its links to the more industrial landscape, the bridge was a popular feature in painting throughout the period 1700-1920. Why did so many artists choose to portray bridges? In this lavishly illustrated and intriguing book, John Sweetman seeks to answer this question. He traces the history of the bridge in painting and printmaking through a vast range of work, some as familiar as William Etty's The Bridge of Sighs and Claude Monet's The Railway Bridge at Argenteuil and others less well known such as Wassily Kandinsky's Composition IV and C.R.W. Nevinson's Looking Through the Brooklyn Bridge. Distinctive characteristics emerge revealing the complex role of the bridge as both symbol and metaphor, and as a place of vantage, meeting and separation.

The book of Revelation has been a source of continual fascination for nearly two thousand years. Concepts such as the Lamb of God, the Four Horsemen, the Seventh Seal, the Beasts and Antichrist, the Whore of Babylon, Armageddon, the Millennium, the Last Judgement, the New Jerusalem, and the ubiquitous angels of the Apocalypse have captured the popular imagination. One can hardly open a newspaper or click on a news site without reading about impending financial orclimate-change Armageddon, while the concept of the Four Horsemen pervades popular music, gaming, and satire. Yet few people know muc

Dirigido a qualquer pessoa interessada nas relações entre arte, gênero e sexualidade, o livro explica como grandes museus espanhóis foram ocupados por uma série de obras e exposições que tratam das dissidências sexuais e de gênero. O autor analisa a vontade de expor, classificar e pensar essas dissidências nas artes e oferece uma rica narrativa sobre o processo de construção da pesquisa, que leva o pesquisador a ser afetado por uma série de obras, situações e encontros dentro e fora dos museus. É um exercício etnocartográfico processual que resulta em críticas e pessoas artistas, curadoras, pesquisadoras e uma instigante proposta analítica. A obra foi produzida durante o período (2019-2020) em que o autor foi professor visitante na Universidade de Sevilha.

Movido por ares toscanos, inflamado por fontes antigas e cingido por ruínas romanas, Leon Battista Alberti compõe, em letras latinas, uma doutrina moderna do belo semeada nos tratados das Artes. Nela, a beleza esplende em pulchritudo e ornamentum: aquela, harmonia proporcional das partes de um corpo que não admite acréscimos, subtrações ou alterações, é qualidade inerente; este, aderente

« C'est le Diable qui tient les fils qui nous remuent ! » (Charles Beaudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal, 1857)Satan, Belzébuth, Lucifer... Le Diable possède de multiples noms et visages qui, toujours, furent une grande source d'inspiration pour les artistes. Longtemps commanditées par les instances religieuses, pour en faire, selon les civilisations, un objet de crainte ou de vénération, les representations du monde des ténèbres eurent souvent vocation à instruire les croyants et à les guider dans le droit chemin. Pour d'autres artistes, tel Hieronymus Bosch, elles étaient un moyen de dénoncer la dégr
