This historical overview allows us to establish a tangible connection with the lives of the people involved in some of the key moments and movements that shaped that history—and perhaps even share a degree of intimacy with them. The author takes the reader through time and space, as we move through centuries and continents to uncover crucial moments in history, from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and the Mosque- Cathedral of Córdoba, amongst many others. • An architectural history that takes readers beyond architecture itself, reconnecting LEAD each building with its history and context.

But over the next 50 years, women’s lives have been transformed, not by the magic wand of a fairy godmother, nor by marrying princes, but by education, work, birth control and feminism. However, while widening opportunities for women was viewed as progress by most, feminists were regularly caricatured as man-haters, cast in the role of ugly sisters, witches or wicked fairies in fairy tales. Love Lives is about the reshaping of women’s lives, loves, and dreams since that fateful year of 1950, the year in which Cinderella gave expression to popular ideas of romance. The narrative ends with the runaway success of Disney’s Frozen, in 2013 – a film with relevance to very LEAD different times.

It is used to assign certain responsibilities, obligations, and privileges to some, and to deny them to others. In Gender: A World History, Kingsley Kent tells the story of this seemingly simple, but in fact quite complex, concept. With historical perspective, she critically examines our everyday understandings of women and men, masculinity and femininity, and sexual difference in general. A WORLD HISTORY Central to this account is the conviction that gender is neither natural nor innocent. What passes SUSAN KINGSLEY KENT for masculinity and femininity in one society might not do so in another. Even the passing of time can change what gender looks like in a particular culture. 9780190621988_1.indd 1 22-Apr-20 07:40:29 • Looks at the history of gender, shedding light on other types of relations, such as those LEAD between governments and their peoples, between different social classes, and between TITLE a colony and its coloniser. • Ranging from prehistory to the present, this book presents a chronological picture of 9780190621971 gender across the globe.

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

  • Society News 2008
    Society News Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies Issue 15 November 2008 XLII Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies Courtauld Institute of Art, London 20-22 March, 2009 Wonderful Things: Byzantium through its Art Reviews of the Royal Academy’s exhibition Byzantium have invariably stressed the splendour and quality of the objects displayed while complaining about the relative lack of contextual material explaining the history of Byzantium. In this symposium, we want to take the issue of defining Byzantium through its art as a starting point and to explore some of the ways in which this has raised, and still raises, issues and conflicts. We are interested both in how the post-Byzantine world has seen Byzantium through its art, the RA exhibition being the most recent demonstration of this. We are also concerned with how the Byzantines themselves used art for self-definition and how the medieval world more widely characterised the empire through its objects. Areas for discussion include: how historians of Byzantium have treated art and empire; how they have reacted to Byzantine art in the context of their general views of Byzantium the art of Late Antiquity as a bridge between ‘classical’ and ‘Byzantine’ art how the world of the Middle Ages was affected by Byzantine art (Italy, Georgia, the Crusader states) the problems in exhibiting Byzantium to a twenty-first century world with little sense of the culture how text and image (both ours and theirs) engage with Byzantine art and ideas about Byzantine identity how themes beyond
