Eyewitnessing evaluates the place of images among other kinds of historical evidence. By reviewing the many varieties of images by region, period and medium, and looking at the pragmatic uses of images (e.g. the Bayeux Tapestry, an engraving of a printing press, a reconstruction of a building), Peter Burke sheds light on our assumption that these practical uses are ‘reflections’ of specific historical meanings and influences. He also shows how this assumption can be problematic.Traditional art historians have depended on two types of analysis when dealing with visual imagery: iconography and iconology. Burke describes and evaluates these approaches, concluding that they are insufficient. Focusing instead on the medium as message and on the social contexts and uses of images, he discusses both religious images and political ones, also looking at images in advertising and as commodities.Ultimately, Burke’s purpose is to show how iconographic and post-iconographic methods – psychoanalysis, semiotics, viewer response, deconstruction – are both useful and problematic to contemporary historians

The Renaissance is one of the most celebrated periods in European history. But when did it begin? When did it end? And what did it include?0Traditionally regarded as a revival of classical art and learning, centred upon fifteenth-century Italy, views of the Renaissance have changed considerably in recent decades. The glories of Florence and the art of Raphael and Michelangelo remain an important element of the Renaissance story, but they are now only a part of a much wider story which looks beyond an exclusive focus on high culture, beyond the Italian peninsula, and beyond the fifteenth century. 0The Oxford Illustrated History of the Renaissance tells the cultural history of this broader and longer Renaissance: from seminal figures such as Dante and Giotto in thirteenth-century Italy, to the waning of Spain's 'golden age' in the 1630s, and the closure of the English theatres in 1642, the date generally taken to mark the end of the English literary Renaissance.0Geographically, the story ranges from Spanish America to Renaissance Europe's encounter with the Ottomans-and far beyond, to the more distant cultures of China and Japan. And thematically, under Gordon Campbell's expert editorial guidance, the volume covers the whole gamut of Renaissance civilization, with chapters on humanism and the classical tradition; war and the state; religion; art and architecture; the performing arts; literature; craft and technology; science and medicine; and travel0and cultural exchange.

La 4e de couverture indique :"Huguenots, séfarades, catholiques britanniques, mennonites, morisques, frères moraves, quakers, ashkénazes... Qu'ont en commun ces populations qui parcourent l'Europe durant les XVIe-XVIIIe siècles ? Toutes s'inscrivent dans des communautés dont les ramifications traversent les frontières politiques, culturelles et religieuses ; toutes entretiennent des réseaux dynamiques à travers lesquels circulent informations, personnes et biens. Unis par la mémoire des persécutions, l'attachement à une terre d'origine, réelle ou rêvée, et par des liens économiques, ces groupes n'en sont pas moins extrêmement divers. Formant des minorités au sein de la cité, ils entretiennent des rapports complexes tant avec les autorités et les populations locales qu'avec les autres populations diasporiques. Cet essai explore ces tensions, entre unité et hétérogénéité, mobilité et sédentarité, marginalisation et perméabilité des frontières sociales. Aussi synthétique qu'informé, il s'adresse à la fois aux spécialistes des minorités et des diasporas, qui y trouveront une proposition de lecture globale, à ceux qui s'intéressent à la coexistence religieuse, aux questions d'intégration et aux migrations."
