Parution : Storr Cohen et Couling (dir.), “Non-Elite Women’s Networks Across the Early Modern World”, Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2023

Non-elite or marginalized early modern women—among them the poor, migrants, members of religious or ethnic minorities, abused or abandoned wives, servants, and sex workers—have seldom left records of their experiences. Drawing on a variety of sources, including trial records, administrative paperwork, letters, pamphlets, hagiography, and picaresque literature, this volume explores how, as social agents, these doubly invisible women built and used networks and informal alliances to supplement the usual structures of family and community that...

Parution : Chipps Smith, “Kunstkammer Early Modern Art and Curiosity Cabinets in the Holy Roman Empire”, Chicago, Chicago University Press, 2023

Exquisitely illustrated, the first thorough history of these astonishing Early Modern cabinets of curiosities. Kunstkammer, art and curiosity cabinets housed in a dedicated room or suite of chambers, were often filled with thousands of diverse and sometimes shocking objects reflecting the bounty of nature and human creativity. These could range from a cherry pit carved with dozens of faces to an intricate drinking cup fashioned from a rhinoceros horn. Whether as a setting for personal...

Conférence : Leslie Geddes, « Drowning in Print », Rome, Villino Stroganoff, 6 juillet 2022, 15h-17h

Few early modern prints render swimming as a feat of resistance against both water and air; fewer indicate its risks. How to show the calisthenic movement of a figure both within and without the water? How about the resistance of waves to the exertion of a body propelling its own weight through a slick, transparent, heavy medium? Printed lines delineate, but also obfuscate, bodies caught in constant flux between air and water. Immersion in water...

Exposition : « Fantastische Tierwesen in der Graphik des 15. bis 17. Jahrhunderts », Berlin, Gemäldegalerie, 1er février 2022-6 juin 2022

Fantastische Tiere, Fabelwesen und Monster spielen in der aktuellen Kinder- und Jugendliteratur, in Fantasy- und Science-Fiction-Filmen eine große Rolle: Einmal auf einem Glücksdrachen fliegen, einem Niffler bei der Schatzsuche folgen, einen Ork besiegen oder mit einem sprechenden Fuchs befreundet sein, wer wollte das nicht? Neben den klassischen Fabeltieren wie Drache, Einhorn oder Greif gibt es zahlreiche Neuschöpfungen wie den Grüffelo oder Schlickschlupfe und Flubberwürmer aus den Romanen von J. K. Rowling, die die Fantasie von...
