edited by Per Sivefors. Fabrizo Serra, 2013, pp. 296 con figure in bianco/nero - EARLY MODERN AND MODERN STUDIES Diretta da Roy Eriksen -- «The present volume is a continuation of the collection Urban Preoccupations: Mental and Material Landscapes (2007), which, like it, grows out of the research project Tolerance and the City. While the earlier volume explored early modern city culture predominantly in terms of cultural difference and its representations, the present volume emphasizes the ways in which early modern city culture is a locus of encounters. More specifically, it focuses on what recent scholars have described as a «lived cultural experience»: the sense in which urban existence was seen as inherently unstable or threatening, and the extent to which this perception was dealt with in art or literature. What emerges, as the contributions testify to, is a multi-faceted picture in which separations and boundaries are continually exposed and «productively destabilized». In addition to engaging with the tropes and figures used for the early modern city in works of fiction and art, the volume examines the social and cultural boundaries established in and between cities, but also the ways in which the city itself could be said to constitute an (unstable) boundary. The organization of the volume into two parts, Imagining cities and Encountering cities, accentuates its double theme: investigating the representation and perception of the early modern city together with the crossing and questioning of social and cultural boundaries that emerged in such imagined spaces.» (from the Introduction). «Il presente volume è la continuazione dell'opera miscellanea Preoccupazioni urbane: Paesaggi mentali e materiali (2007), che, come questo, nasce dal progetto di ricerca La tolleranza e la città. Mentre il primo volume esplora la cultura della città nella prima età moderna prevalentemente nei termini delle differenze culturali e delle sue rappresentazioni, questo libro sottolinea i modi in cui la cultura della città, nello stesso periodo, sia un luogo di incontri. In particolare, si concentra su ciò che, di recente, gli studiosi hanno descritto come una «esperienza culturale vissuta»: il senso in cui l'esistenza urbana è stata vista come intrinsecamente instabile o minacciosa, e la misura in cui questa percezione è stata trattata nell'arte o nella letteratura. Ciò che emerge, come testimoniano i contributi, è un quadro sfaccettato in cui separazioni e confini sono continuamente esposti e «produttivamente destabilizzati». Oltre a studiare i modi e le figure utilizzate per la città della prima età moderna in opere di narrativa e arte, il volume esamina i confini sociali e culturali stabiliti in e tra le città, e anche i modi in cui la città stessa potrebbe essere considerata come un (instabile) confine. Il libro è diviso in due parti che sottolineano il suo doppio tema: indagare i modi di rappresentazione e di percezione della città nella prima età moderna insieme con gli incroci e la questione sui confini sociali e culturali emersi in questi spazi immaginati».
