The Oxford Handbook of Dance and Reenactment investigates new forms of choreographic dramaturgy and interpretation inherent. Joining junior and senior scholars as well as practitioners in the field, the handbook shows how the recovery of past dances has come to constitute a new branch of contemporary choreographic activity.
The Crown of Aragon. A Singular Mediterranean Empire recovers the history of an empire which was of great importance in the late medieval Mediterranean, but which has since been relegated almost to oblivion by the course of history. The Crown of Aragon was a Mediterranean crossroads: between west and east for the economy, and between north and south for culture and religion, drawing in many different peoples, covering Iberia to Greece. A new vision of the Crown of Aragon as a framework of overlapping identities facilitates its historiographical recovery, showcased in the chapters of this volume which analyse the economy, institutions, social evolution, political strategy and cultural expression in literature and art of the Crown of Aragon. Contributors are David Abulafia, Lola Badia, Xavier Barral-i-Altet, Pere Benito, Maria Bonet, Jesús Brufal, Alessandra Cioppi, Damien Coulon, Luciano Gallinari, Isabel Grifoll, Adam J. Kosto, Esther Martí-Setañés, Sebastiana Nocco, Antoni Riera, Flocel Sabaté and Antoni Simon.
Este libro conmemora el centenario de la fundación de la República de Checoslovaquia el 28 de octubre de 2018. En más de 1000 años de existencia, los pueblos checo y eslovaco solo experimentaron la nacionalidad libre entre 1918 y 1938, y nuevamente después de 1989. Finalmente viviendo bajo su propio gobierno, fotógrafos y escritores, tipógrafos y diseñadores de libros, artistas gráficos e impresores fueron libres de expresar su amor por el país y documentaron sus paisajes, ciudades, tesoros nacionales, monumentos y la vida de su gente, formando así su identidad cultural única, incluso durante la época nazi. En nueve capítulos se analizan más de 800 publicaciones desde 1918 hasta 1989, destacando el trabajo de más de 250 fotógrafos y artistas gráficos, incluidos Frantisek Drtikol, Libor Fára, Jaromír Funke, Karel Hájek, Vladimír Hipman, Bohdan Holomícek, Tibor Honty, Karol. Kállay, Josef Koudelka, Jan Lukas, Martin Martincek, Alphonse Mucha, Karel Plicka, Josef Prosek, Jaroslav Rössler, Pavel Stecha, Jindrich Streit, Jindrich Styrsky, Josef Sudek, Ladislav Sutnar, Karel Teige y Zdenek Tmej.
