  • Between Power and Rebellion: Rethinking Authority
    EDGAR STRAEHLE* BETWEEN POWER AND REBELLION: RETHINKING AUTHORITY Entre poder e rebelião: repensar a autoridade Resumo Um dos principais objectivos deste escrito é dissociar e desembaraçar os conceitos de autoridade e poder à luz das insurreiçãos medievais e lutas na ciudade de Milão e, além disso, compreender na dimensão ambivalente e ambígua da autoridade. Ao analisar estes fatos históricos, vou tentar mostrar que a autoridade não pertence sempre ou necessariamente ao governo ou que somente pode ser um instrumento deste. De fato, é mais interessante explorar o outro lado desta questão: como o uso da autoridade pôde devenir um instrumento de contrapoder. Neste sentido, vou examinar como e porquê algumas rebeliões contestaram o poder não apenas combatendo a autoridade oficial mas reivindicando uma alternativa. Ou seja, como e porquê a categoria de auto- ridade pôde tornarse uma fonte de legitimidade da insurreição. Palavras-chave: autoridade; poder; rebelião. Authors: Santo Ambrósio; Hannah Arendt. * Museu d'Història de Barcelona (MUHBA) and University of Barcelona (ADHUC). Email: [email protected].

  • From a Far-Away Country of the Polish II Corps Heroes
    Special edition Warsaw-Monte Cassino May 18, 2019 GLORY TO THE HEROES! ETERNAL BATTLEFIELD GLORY Dear Readers, n the glorious history of the Polish army, there were many battles where Iour soldiers showed exceptional heroism and sacrifice. The seizure of the Monte Cassino abbey has its special place in the hearts and memory of Poles. General Władysław Anders wrote in his order: “Long have we waited for this moment of retaliation and revenge on our eternal enemy. […] for this ruffianly attack of Germany on Poland, for partitioning Poland jointly with the Bolsheviks, […] for the misery and tragedy of our Fatherland, for our sufferings and exile.” The soldiers of the Polish II Corps did not waste this opportunity and seized the reinforced position in the abbey’s ruins, which had earlier been resisting the gunfire, bombing and attacks of the Allied forces. Polish determination and heroism broke the fierce defense line of the German forces. This victory was however paid very dearly for. On the hillside of Monte Cassino over 900 soldiers were killed, and almost 3,000 wounded. Still, the Monte Cassino success, although paid for with blood, paved the way to independent Poland. Saint John Paul II, when talking about the Battle of Monte Cassino, said about a live symbol of will to live, of sovereignty. These words perfectly define the attitude ...from a far-away country of the Polish II Corps heroes. They proved to be determined, patriotic, and The title might not be original, but it perfectly reflects the Polish-Italian full of will to fight. They were respected relations.

  • Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530
    PALPABLE POLITICS AND EMBODIED PASSIONS: TERRACOTTA TABLEAU SCULPTURE IN ITALY, 1450-1530 by Betsy Bennett Purvis A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto ©Copyright by Betsy Bennett Purvis 2012 Palpable Politics and Embodied Passions: Terracotta Tableau Sculpture in Italy, 1450-1530 Doctorate of Philosophy 2012 Betsy Bennett Purvis Department of Art University of Toronto ABSTRACT Polychrome terracotta tableau sculpture is one of the most unique genres of 15th- century Italian Renaissance sculpture. In particular, Lamentation tableaux by Niccolò dell’Arca and Guido Mazzoni, with their intense sense of realism and expressive pathos, are among the most potent representatives of the Renaissance fascination with life-like imagery and its use as a powerful means of conveying psychologically and emotionally moving narratives. This dissertation examines the versatility of terracotta within the artistic economy of Italian Renaissance sculpture as well as its distinct mimetic qualities and expressive capacities. It casts new light on the historical conditions surrounding the development of the Lamentation tableau and repositions this particular genre of sculpture as a significant form of figurative sculpture, rather than simply an artifact of popular culture. In terms of historical context, this dissertation explores overlooked links between the theme of the Lamentation, the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, codes of chivalric honor and piety, and resurgent crusade rhetoric spurred by the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Reconnected to its religious and political history rooted in medieval forms of Sepulchre devotion, the terracotta Lamentation tableau emerges as a key monument that both ii reflected and directed the cultural and political tensions surrounding East-West relations in later 15th-century Italy.

  • La Lotta Per Il Potere a Milano
    LA GRANDE BATTAGLIA Nel corso del 1276, non si hanno notizie circa il periodo dell’anno, le forze viscontee cominciarono ad organizzare un attacco, nelle intenzioni decisivo, nei confronti dei Torriani. Goffredo da Langosco, alla testa dei fuoriusciti milanesi, occupò inizialmente Arona, unitamente ad alcune postazioni strategiche dell’Ossola, le cui popolazioni erano fedeli all’arcivescovo. Intanto Ottone Visconti riusciva a sbarcare ad Angera con tre-quattromila uomini e ad occuparne la rocca. Napo della Torre, benché colto di sorpresa, reagì inviando nella zona il figlio Cassone che, con una schiera di cinquecento tedeschi fornitagli dall’imperatore Rodolfo d’Asburgo, riuscì a mettere sotto assedio il castello di Angera. Nel frattempo Goffredo da Langosco, insieme ad un esercito di quattro-cinquemila armati composto da fuoriusciti milanesi, uomini del Seprio e di Pavia, oltre che da genovesi e spagnoli, ingrossato oltretutto da locali fedeli a Ottone, muovendo da Arona riuscì ad occupare buona parte del Seprio settentrionale dirigendosi poi verso Angera. Cassone della Torre aveva intanto preso posizione nella piana del torrente Guassera, nei pressi della riva del Lago Maggiore al confine tra gli odierni comuni di Ranco e Ispra. Il momento della verità era ormai arrivato… Le forze torriane furono all’improvviso raggiunte dall’esercito visconteo che proveniva da Nord e cioè dal territorio isprese. Goffredo da Langosco, sfruttando l’elemento sorpresa, non si lasciò sfuggire l’occasione di attaccare i soldati teutonici di Cassone mentre stavano ancora approntando l’accampamento. Durante l’attacco, superato di slancio dai Viscontei il rio Guassera, lo stesso capo dei tedeschi, Hans Lauser, venne ucciso: forse proprio da Goffredo in persona.
