Add to basketedited by Frida Forsgren and Tor Vegge. Fabrizio Serra, 2018, pp. 204 con figure in bianco/nero n.t. EARLY MODERN AND MODERN STUDIES - Collana diretta da Roy Eriksen --- The 21th century is characterized by a distinct pictorial and highly subjective turn; so the power of the visual image and the potency of self-fashioning in art history and visual culture is a major field of study. And subjective, individual literature is a common element in traditional hagiography, biography and life writing. This anthology seeks to describe and analyze contemporary and traditional self-presentations in ways that incorporate both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. The authors wish to probe into why we have this need to write and paint true life stories. What is the relationship between a lived life and a literary life? What role do life stories play in literary, theological and aesthetical works? Do they obey certain patterns? The volume brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplines and historical periods to focus on life writing, hagiography and biography in texts and images from Antiquity to the 21th century; it wishes to focus on the embedded dualities of such lives and texts: lives and life stories may have complex functions as emblems, exempla, and symbols, at the same time as referring to and/or representing authentic life experiences. Il 21° secolo è caratterizzato da una svolta pittorica e altamente soggettiva; così il potere dell'immagine visiva e la potenza del 'self-fashioning' nella storia dell'arte e nella cultura visiva è uno dei principali campi di studio. E la letteratura soggettiva e individuale è un elemento comune nell'agiografia tradizionale, nella biografia e nella scrittura di vita. Questa antologia cerca di descrivere e analizzare alcune auto-presentazioni contemporanee e tradizionali in base a criteri che incorporano sia prospettive sincroniche che diacroniche. Gli autori vogliono sondare i motivi per i quali abbiamo questa necessità di scrivere e dipingere storie di vita vere. Qual è la relazione tra una vita vissuta e una vita letteraria? Che ruolo giocano le storie di vita in opere letterarie, teologiche ed estetiche? Obbediscono a certi schemi? Il volume riunisce studiosi di un'ampia gamma di discipline e periodi storici per concentrarsi sulla scrittura di vita, l'agiografia e la biografia in testi e immagini dall'antichità al 21° secolo, con lo scopo di concentrare l'attenzione sulle dualità incorporate in tali vite e testi: le vite e le storie di vita possono avere funzioni complesse come emblemi, esempi e simboli, allo stesso tempo riferendosi e / o rappresentando esperienze di vita autentiche.
