Abstract

Inspired by the 2019 Bauhaus centennial, Designing for Precarious Citizens links the ideals of the Bauhaus to research by designers and students on the living and housing conditions of vulnerable groups in society today. For the Bauhaus, technology was a tool for reducing the vulnerability of working-class citizens, but in modern society it often prevents people from being able to make decisions about their own future. The various design projects featured here follow on the ideas of architect Johan Niegeman, one of the few Dutch educators at the Bauhaus. The book also includes key research by designers Frank Kolkman, Giuditta Vendrame, and Klasien van de Zandschulp.

Abstract

The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading Holofernes, the general of a powerful army, to free her people. The story has fascinated artists and authors for centuries, and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. Bringing together scholars from around the world, it transforms our understanding of Judith's enduring story across a wide range of disciplines. The book includes sections on Judith in Christian, Jewish and secular textual traditions, as well as representations of Judith in art, music and theatre. The collection includes new archival source studies and the translation of unpublished manuscripts and texts previously unavailable in English.

Abstract

Judith hat als femme fatale spektakuläre Auftritte in der Kunst der Neuzeit; im Mittelalter ist sie unter anderen Vorzeichen bekannt. Hier geht es um exemplarische Keuschheit und triumphierendes Gottvertrauen. Der Judithstoff wird zum Ausgangspunkt für drei zentrale Epochen von Bibeldichtungen. So profilieren die "Ältere" und die "Jüngere Judith" die frühmittelhochdeutsche Literatur und die "Judith von 1254" eröffnet die für den Deutschen Orden geschriebenen Dichtungen. Nach Luthers Empfehlung, das apokryphe Buch als beispielhafte Tragödie zu lesen, wird die biblische Judithüberlieferung schließlich zum beliebtesten Propagandastoff des Dramas von der Reformation bis zu Opitz. Das Textkorpus eröffnet damit Perspektiven auf die Bedingungen volkssprachigen Schreibens in gruppenspezifischen Literaturen vom 12. bis 16. Jahrhundert.

Abstract

The Old Testament story of the widow Judith--the irresistible siren who lured her people' s deadly enemy, Holofernes, to his death, beheading him in his own bed to save Jerusalem--is an enduring cultural myth in Western society. In this original and provocative book, Margarita Stocker explores the Western fascination with the image of Judith and the abundance of interpretations that have surrounded her at different times between the early Middle Ages and the present day. The myth of Judith provides an important key to modern society' s view of women and power, the book argues. In dealing with the threatening image of a powerful femme fatale who is also a saint, the vested interests of Western culture have deliberately, often deviously, subverted images of sex and death as a way of marginalizing women and protecting traditional notions of masculinity.

Abstract

"Il presente studio propone un viaggio attraverso i cantici femminili della Bibbia, ossia l'insieme di quei particolari testi biblici chiamati «salmi inseriti» (inset psalms) e attribuiti alle donne: il cantico di Miriam (Es 15,20-21), il cantico di Debora (Gdc 5,1-31), il cantico di Anna (1Sam 2,1-10), il cantico di Giuditta (Gdt 16,1-17) e il Magnificat di Maria (Lc 1,46-55). Tutti questi componimenti, condividendo le stesse caratteristiche letterarie e tematiche, possono essere identificati come 'inni di vittoria.' Inoltre, in quanto tali, essi vengono esaminati con una particolare chiave di lettura: attraverso la disamina dell'uso ricorrente del topos letterario del 'mondo alla rovescia' (mundus inversus). Questo concetto -- una facoltà universale del pensiero umano -- rappresenta un capovolgimento dello status quo del mondo ordinario e offre alternative ai codici tradizionali relativi ad alcune dimensioni essenziali della vita umana: naturale, culturale e religiosa. La ricerca qui offerta dimostra che i grandi interventi di Dio nella storia, celebrati nei cantici in questione, comprendono numerose immagini del world upside down e, in tal modo, rivelano un continuo stile di agire del Dio biblico, che si potrebbe perfino definire 'stile alla rovescia.'"--
