Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. What is the art of commodities, and how does it contribute to shaping a city? The case of Venice, which perhaps more than any other late medieval or early modern city depended on trade, offers some widely applicable considerations in response to these questions. Commodities exist as such only when they can be bought and sold. Select materials, techniques and tools, motifs, and working processes are entailed in the conception and realization of commodities, with the aim of producing and selling in numbers. The art of commodities is an art of anticipation and organization, as complex as the material, social, and symbolic situations it results from, deals with, and contributes to shaping. In turn, an analysis of commodities allows for profound insights in these situations. The art of commodities ultimately presents specific challenges, solutions, and styles; it is an art of objects, as well as an art of cities and societies. In Venice, commodities did much more than circulate throughout the Lagoon: the city was made of them. The studies in this book consider the Serenissima's diverse commodities, merchants, and routes from multiple perspectives. This book focuses on the question of how Venice designed and exported its own identity through all kinds of its goods. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Ella Beaucamp is a doctoral candidate at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, where she developed her dissertation topic within the research group "Premodern Objects. An Archaeology of Experience", led by Philippe Cordez. She studies the high medieval stone reliefs of Venetian house facades, relating them to the larger context of Mediterranean trade and artistic production. The Centro Tedesco di Studi Veneziani, the Gerda Henkel Stiftung, and the Max Weber Foundation - German Humanities Institutes Abroad have supported her work. For her master's thesis she was the recipient of the Heinrich Wölfflin Prize from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Philippe Cordez is Deputy Director of the German Center for Art History in Paris. His research and teaching deal with medieval art history and more generally with object studies in art history. This work has been supported by the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, the Universität Hamburg, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz - Max-Planck-Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, the Université de Montréal, and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown. His book Treasure, Memory, Nature: Church Objects in the Middle Ages, translated from French and awarded the Prize of the German Medievalists' Society (Mediävistenverband e.V.), is available at Harvey Miller Publishers.

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris , 2006. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché cousu . Format in-8°( 24 x 16 cm )( 504 gr ). ------- 287 pages. **************************** "" Ce recueil prolonge et complète celui que la collection a déjà consacré à la chronique de Jean Malalas (Mon. 15). Le premier volume avait pour objet d étude la genèse et la transmission du texte de Malalas. Celui-ci est centré sur le contenu et la validité historiques de l uvre: il s intéresse à Malalas historien. Les treize articles rassemblés ici s interrogent sur les singularités de la narration comme sur ses silences. Ces distorsions confinent parfois à la manipulation, qu il s agisse du passé lointain (biblique, grec ou romain), de la vie et de la mort des empereurs, de l organisation de l Empire, et même de l histoire contemporaine, politique ou religieuse. On se trouve face à des choix délibérés du chroniqueur, dont les différentes contributions explorent les motifs: goût de la narration et de l anecdote, philhellénisme, attachement à la cité d Antioche et surtout désir de légitimer l Empire et ses souverains.
