Book Description
Este libro, síntesis inédita en la obra de Jacques Le Goff y fruto de más de cuarenta años de trato diario con el arte medieval y sus imágenes, se propone restituir el mundo visual de la Edad Media. Representaciones del feudalismo (señores y campesinos), de la violencia de la guerra y de la muerte: estos fenómenos son bien conocidos, pero no expresan tanto, según él, la Edad Media esencial, profunda, como lo hacen los gestos, la sociedad humana frente a la sociedad divina y las imágenes del más allá. Esta Edad Media en imágenes se le antoja más verdadera sobre todo porque incluye en la representación el aspecto imaginario y simbólico de la realidad, tan “verdadero” como el aspecto material y realista (especialmente en una sociedad que, como la medieval, vive a caballo de lo natural y lo sobrenatural). Estas dos lecturas se imponen entre las que el lector de este libro puede legítimamente adoptar. Para Le Goff, la Edad Media fue un universo de combatientes, de trabajadores y de soñadores.

Animation between Magic, Miracles and Mechanics
Author: Hans Henrik Lohfert Jørgensen
Publisher: Aarhus Universitetsforlag
ISBN: 8775972654
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
When it comes to images, we are all animists. Deep down, we all know that images can – at least potentially – be alive or come to life. Nowadays, we may tend to rationalize our ingrained animism and explain it away as a mere projection only happening in the space between image and viewer. In the Middle Ages, however, imagery made enthusiastic use of magical, miraculous and mechanical means of animation, empowered and ensouled by both natural and supernatural principles of life. This animist book investigates magic, miracles and mechanics as motors of animation and seeks to understand the living image in solidarity with medieval experience rather than dismissive alienation of it. Effigies did bleed, weep or lactate, either through divine intervention or through hydraulic machinery. Statues did move or speak, either as demonic oracles or as talking heads with implanted speaking tubes. Marvels made by magic or by miracles were real, as real as the wonders of physical mechanics moving bodily matter. We just need to look and listen more carefully to comprehend these fluid realities, even when – especially when – they challenge our received worldview. Animation was by no means uncontested or uncontradicted, but even its stiffest critics knew that gods and demons could intervene in inanimate matter to set it in motion, to speak in tongues and exude the liquids of life.

Family, Work, and Household in Late Medieval Iberia
Author: Jeff Fynn-Paul
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317599306
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Family, Work, and Household presents the social and occupational life of a late medieval Iberian town in rich, unprecedented detail. The book combines a diachronic study of two regionally prominent families—one knightly and one mercantile—with a detailed cross-sectional urban study of household and occupation. The town in question is the market town and administrative centre of Manresa in Catalonia, whose exceptional archives make such a study possible. For the diachronic studies, Fynn-Paul relied upon the fact that Manresan archives preserve scores of individual family notarial registers, and the cross-sectional study was made possible by the Liber Manifesti of 1408, a cadastral survey which details the property holdings of individual householders to an unusually thorough degree. In these pages, the economic and social strategies of many individuals, including both knights and burghers, come to light over the course of several generations. The Black Death and its aftermath play a prominent role in changing the outlook of many social actors. Other chapters detail the socioeconomic topography of the town, and examine occupational hierarchies, for such groups as rentiers, merchants, leatherworkers, cloth workers, women householders, and the poor.
