Sexualities, Textualities, Art and Music in Early Modern Italy: Playing with Boundaries de Melanie L. Marshall

Sexualities, Textualities, Art and Music in Early Modern Italy: Playing with Boundaries

Editat de Melanie L. Marshall, Linda L. Carroll, Katherine A. McIver
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 2014
Taking as axiomatic the concept that artistic output does not simply reflect culture but also shapes it, the essays in this interdisciplinary collection take a holistic approach to the cultural fashioning of sexualities, drawing on visual art, theatre, music, and literature, in sacred and secular contexts. Although there is diversity in disciplinary approach, the interpretations and readings offered in each essay have a historical basis. Approaching the topic from the point of view of both visual and auditory media, this volume paints a comprehensive picture of artists’ challenges to erotic boundaries, and contributes to new historicizing thinking on sexualities. Collectively, the essays demonstrate the role played by artistic production-visual arts, literature, theatre and music-in fashioning, policing, and challenging early modern sexual boundaries, and thus help to identify the ways in which the arts contributed to both the disciplining and the exploration of a range of sexualities.

Recenzii

'The contributors to this volume provide a series of vivid episodes that enliven our appreciation of the differences, as well as similarities, between explicit expression both early and modern.' Renaissance Studies
'... if the purpose of a potpourri is to please, this collection has succeeded in its objectives: it will be useful to both scholars and students, and the musical scores will enrich the Renaissance repertoire.' Renaissance Quarterly

"The book reveals the ways that expressive arts promoted and subverted the boundaries between ideal and practised behaviours. Its discussion of the production and reception of texts exposes the distinctions and interplay between men and women, spirituality and carnality, sincerity and satire, autonomy and heteronomy, homo- and hetero-sexuality, and patricians and the poor." -- Elizabeth Reid, The University of Western Australia, Parergon

Descriere

The essays in this interdisciplinary collection draw on visual art, theatre, music, history and literature, in sacred and secular contexts, to explore the cultural fashioning of sexualities in early modern Italy. Approaching the topic from the point of view of both visual and auditory media, the essays demonstrate the role played by artistic production in fashioning, policing, and challenging early modern sexual boundaries.
