Abstract

In the social and cultural histories of women and feminism, Black women have long been overlooked or ignored. The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Cultural Histories is an impressive and comprehensive reference work for contemporary scholarship on the cultural histories of Black women across the diaspora spanning different eras from ancient times into the twenty-first century. Comprising over thirty chapters by a team of international contributors, the Companion is divided into five parts: A fragmented past, an inclusive future ; Contested histories, subversive memories ; Gendered Lives, racial frameworks ; Cultural shifts, social change ;Black identities, feminist formations. Within these sections a diverse range of women, places and issues are explored including: The Queen of Sheba, Black Women in Early Modern European Art and Culture, Enslaved Muslim Women in the Antebellum United States, Sally Hemings, and Phillis Wheatley, Black women writers in Early 20th Century Paris, Black women, Civil Rights, South African Apartheid, and sexual violence and resistance in the United States in recent history. The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Cultural Histories is essential reading for students and researchers in Gender Studies, History, Africana Studies and Cultural Studies "Dans les histoires sociales et culturelles des femmes et du féminisme, les femmes noires ont longtemps été négligées ou ignorées. The Routledge Companion to Black Women's Cultural Histories est un ouvrage de référence exceptionnel et complet pour les études contemporaines sur l'histoire culturelle des femmes noires de la diaspora, couvrant différentes époques, de l'Antiquité au XXIe siècle. Composé de plus de trente chapitres rédigés par une équipe de collaborateurs internationaux, l'ouvrage est divisé en cinq parties : Un passé fragmenté, un avenir inclusif ; Histoires contestées, mémoires subversives ; Vies sexuées, cadres raciaux ; Mutations culturelles, changement social : Identités noires, formations féministes. Dans ces sections, un large éventail de femmes, de lieux et de questions sont étudiés, notamment : la reine de Saba, les femmes noires dans la culture et l'art européens du début de l'ère moderne, les femmes musulmanes asservies dans les États-Unis d'avant la guerre de Sécession, Sally Hemings et Phillis Wheatley, les écrivaines noires dans le Paris du début du XXe siècle, les femmes noires, les droits civils, l'apartheid sud-africain, la violence sexuelle et la résistance aux États-Unis dans l'histoire récente.

Abstract

The fourteen essays that comprise this volume concentrate on festival iconography, the visual and written languages, including ephemeral and permanent structures, costume, dramatic performance, inscriptions and published festival books that 'voiced' the social, political and cultural messages incorporated in processional entries in the countries of Early Modern Europe. The volume also includes a transcript of the newly-discovered Register of Lionardo di Zanobi Bartholini, a Florentine merchant, which sets out in detail the expenses for each worker for the possesso (or Entry) of Pope Leo X to Rome in April 1513

Abstract

It was not unusual during the Renaissance for cooks to torture animals before slaughtering them in order to render the meat more tender, for women to use needlepoint to cover up their misconduct and prove their obedience, and for people to cover the walls of their own homes with graffiti.Items and activities as familiar as mirrors, books, horses, everyday speech, money, laundry baskets, graffiti, embroidery, and food preparation look decidedly less familiar when seen through the eyes of Renaissance men and women. In Renaissance Culture and the Everyday, such scholars as Judith Brown, Frances Dolan, Richard Helgerson, Debora Shuger, Don Wayne, and Stephanie Jed illuminate the sometimes surprising issues at stake in just such common matters of everyday life during the Renaissance in England and on the Continent.Organized around the categories of materiality, women, and transgression—and constantly crossing these categories—the book promotes and challenges readers' thinking of the everyday. While not ignoring the aristocratic, it foregrounds the common person, the marginal, and the domestic even as it presents the unusual details of their existence. What results is an expansive, variegated, and sometimes even contradictory vision in which the strange becomes not alien but a defining mark of everyday life.

Abstract

What does it mean to write a history of the night? Evening's Empire is a fascinating study of the myriad ways in which early modern people understood, experienced, and transformed the night. Using diaries, letters, and legal records together with representations of the night in early modern religion, literature and art, Craig Koslofsky opens up an entirely new perspective on early modern Europe. He shows how princes, courtiers, burghers and common people 'nocturnalized' political expression, the public sphere and the use of daily time. Fear of the night was now mingled with improved opportunities for labour and leisure: the modern night was beginning to assume its characteristic shape. Evening's Empire takes the evocative history of the night into early modern politics, culture and society, revealing its importance to key themes from witchcraft, piety, and gender to colonization, race, and the Enlightenment.
