Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This volume asks, how did theatrical practice shape the multiplying forms of conversion that emerged in early modern Europe? Each chapter focuses on a specific city or selection of cities, beginning with Venice, then moving to London, Mexico City, Tlaxcalla, Seville, Madrid, Amsterdam, Zuerich, Berne, and Lucerne (among others). Collectively, these studies establish a picture of early modernity as an age teeming with both excitement and anxiety over conversional activity. In addition to considering the commercial theater that produced professional dramatists such as Lope de Vega and Thomas Middleton, the volume surveys a wide variety of kinds of theatre that brought theatricality into formative relationship with conversional practice. Examples range from civic pageantry in Piazza San Marco, to mechanical statues in Amsterdams pleasure labyrinths, to the dramatic dialogues performed by students of rhetoric in colonial Mexico. As a whole, the volume addresses issues of conversion as it pertains to early modern theatre, literature, theology, philosophy, economics, urban culture, globalism, colonialism, trade, and cross-cultural exchange. This volume asks, how did theatrical practice shape the multiplying forms of conversion that emerged in early modern Europe?

Paperback. Condición: New. Conversion machines are apparatuses, artfully-fashioned preparations, arrangements and things that demonstrate processes of change. They are paradoxical at once intent on verifying what was invisible, uncertain and even unknowable, while also acting as sowers of dissimulation. This study does not seek to mechanise conversion. In many ways, conversion and the transformation of the convert will remain ineffable. Instead, this collection maintains that conversion of all kinds must unfold in ecologies that include politics, law, religious practice, the arts and the material and corporeal realms. Shifting the focus from subjectivity toward the operations of governments, institutions, artifices and the body, contributors consider how early modern Europeans suffered under the mechanisms of conversion, how they were sometimes able to realise themselves by dint of being caught up in the machinery of sovereignty, how they invented scores of new, purpose-built conversional instruments and how they experienced forms of radical transformation in their own bodies.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Focuses on transversions of Ovids Iphis and Ianthe in both English and French literatureMedieval and early modern authors engaged with Ovids tale of Iphis and Ianthe in a number of surprising ways. From Christian translations to secular retellings on the seventeenth-century stage, Ovids story of a girls miraculous transformation into a boy sparked a diversity of responses in English and French from the fourteenth to the seventeenth centuries. In addition to analysing various translations and commentaries, the volume clusters essays around treatments of John Lylys Galatea (c. 1585) and Issac de Benserades Iphis et Iante (1637). As a whole, the volume addresses gender and transgender, sexuality and gallantry, anatomy and alchemy, fable and history, youth and pedagogy, language and climate change. Key Features:The only scholarly monograph to focus on Ovids Iphis and IantheIntervenes in the history of Ovidian reception and literary history, particularly in terms of gender and sexualityBroadens readings of Iphis and Ianthe beyond concerns of gender and sexualityBrings medieval and early modern, English and French appropriations of the tale into productive dialogueProvides new readings of John Lylys Galathea and Issac Benserades Iphis and Ianthe, and of medieval versions of the storyIntervenes in the history of trans phenomena The only scholarly monograph to focus on Ovids Iphis and Ianthe'.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Logomotives are words that change worlds past, present, and future. Bearing a wide range of linguistic, regional and disciplinary expertise, the volumes twenty-five contributors traverse multiple geographies (Asia, Africa, Iberian Peninsula, Europe, and the Americas), work across fifteen languages and span from antiquity to our current moment to reveal how words are catalysts of cultural, political and epistemological change. Harnessing new developments in philologies of race, in queer-, feminist-, trans-, transnational- and postcolonial philologies, as well as translation studies, Logomotives illuminates the world-making capacity of words. Each chapter opens with a methodological statement, pursues a central reading and concludes with a lesson plan for undergraduate or graduate classrooms. The volume orients critical attention to the relations between what a word means, the ways in which it moves, and the changes that such motion engenders, both within and across the historical cultures under analysis and in present-day scholarship. Animates the conversional potential of language by exploring the catalytic force of words across diverse cultures and linguistic systems. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
