Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking Urban Transport After Modernism
Book SynopsisFor the last seven decades, urban settlement policy worldwide has been increasingly dominated by modernist precepts and by urban decisions made in discipline-specific âsilosâ. The urban management consequences have been invariably negative, with increasing sprawl, fragmentation and separation resulting in a wide range of environmental, social and economic problems. This book explores the role of movement in a more integrated approach to urban settlement, and how thinking, policies and actions need to change. South Africa is used as a particularly good case study, since patterns of sprawl, fragmentation and separation have been exacerbated by apartheid, while recent legislation has demanded a reversal of these tendencies.Trade Review’This is an interesting case study from South Africa...the book emphasises an integrated approach to urban management incorporating mobility with interesting illustrations, data.’ Built Environment ’This book presents a comprehensive overview of the planning and policy issues in South African settlements...clearly written...The book is to be recommended as an interesting case study. It would be of interest to all professionals, as well as to undergraduate and post-graduate academics, in the field of urban, land-use and transportation planning, ranging from design to policy-making.’ Journal of Housing and the Built EnvironmentTable of ContentsContents: Defining the problem: the objectives of this book; Setting the scene; Approaches to settlement-making: locating the concepts of structure and space; Movement as an element of urban structure and urban space; Movement in urban structure: the case of South Africa; Movement as an element of urban space; Movement in space: the case of South Africa; Conclusion; References; Appendix A: excerpt from the Transport Planning Act; Appendix B: further readings consulted.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Women Art and Architecture in Northern Italy
Book SynopsisExpanding interdisciplinary investigations into gender and material culture, Katherine A. McIver here adds a new dimension to Renaissance patronage studies by considering domestic art - the decoration of the domestic interior - as opposed to patronage of the fine arts (painting, sculpture and architecture). Taking a multidimensional approach, McIver looks at women as collectors of precious material goods, as organizers of the early modern home, and as decorators of its interior. By analyzing the inventories of women's possessions, McIver considers the wide range of domestic objects that women owned, such as painted and inlaid chests, painted wall panels, tapestries, fine fabrics for wall and bed hangings, and elaborate jewelry (pendant earrings, brooches, garlands for the hair, necklaces and rings) as well as personal devotional objects. Considering all forms of patronage opportunities open to women, she evaluates their role in commissioning and utilizing works of art and architecture as a means of negotiating power in the court setting, in the process offering fresh insights into their lives, limitations, and the possibilities open to them as patrons. Using her subjects' financial records to track their sources of income and the circumstances under which it was spent, McIver thereby also provides insights into issues of Renaissance women's economic rights and responsibilities. The primary focus on the lives and patronage patterns of three relatively unknown women, Laura Pallavicina-Sanvitale, Giacoma Pallavicina and Camilla Pallavicina, provides a new model for understanding what women bought, displayed, collected and commissioned. By moving beyond the traditional artistic centers of Florence, Venice and Rome, analyzing instead women's artistic patronage in the feudal courts around Parma and Piacenza during the sixteenth century, McIver nuances our understanding of women's position and power both in and out of the home. Carefully integrating extensive archivalTrade ReviewPrize: Co-winner of the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women Book Award for a work published in 2006 '... a fine and welcome study ... provides a new model for understanding what women bought, displayed, collected, and commissioned. Carefully integrating extensive archival research with a set of important critical inquiries, McIver offers up a well-balanced picture of domestic space, subject and object in and against what might be called the unbalanced field of Italian Renaissance art history.' Allison Levy, Wheaton College, USA ’Through the use of newly discovered archival evidence, Katherine McIver offers an innovative and illuminating analysis of female patronage in Northern Italy during the sixteenth century... she present revealing new insights about how early modern women exercised political agency and economic power within a patriarchal society... The detailed appendix of documents will be of note both for those with a particular interest in material culture of the Early Modern period as well as a wider audience... this is a valuable study with a strong methodological framework combining the close reading of original documents with well-balanced critical analysis of a variety of visual material.’ The Art Book ’The book cleverly fills in some of the lack of sources in English and aptly testifies to the depth and liveliness of the cultural debate about women in Renaissance Italy between the 14th and 17th centuries... The superb peculiarity of McIver's work consists in giving a new historical perspective on women's power, displayed in different manners and strategies in order to maintain and increase family properties, or even to advance their social status.’ Women's History Magazine ’The publisher, Ashgate, is to be thanked and congratulated for allowing the author to include almost fifty pages of transcribed inventories and a glossary... This ensures that the book will become an invaluable resource for work on women as patrons and consumeTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; The women: the cast of characters; The Renaissance palazzo as a public voice for women; The Renaissance palazzo interior as a private voice for women; Domestic consumption: listening to women's private voice; Women, the church, and religious foundations; Glossary; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Liturgical Space Christian Worship and Church
Book SynopsisThis is the first comprehensive and up-to-date account of the internal arrangement of church buildings in Western Europe between 1500 and 2000, showing how these arrangements have met the liturgical needs of their respective denominations, Catholic and Protestant, over this period. In addition to a chapter looking at the general impact of the Reformation on church buildings, there are separate chapters on the churches of the Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions between the mid-sixteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries, and on the ecclesiological movement of the nineteenth century and the liturgical movement of the twentieth century, both of which have impacted on all the churches of Western Europe over the past 150 years. The book is extensively illustrated with figures in the text and a series of plates and also contains comprehensive guides to both further reading and buildings to visit throughout Western Europe.Trade Review'Nigel Yates is the foremost authority on the relationship between the liturgy and the ordering of church buildings in the post reformation world. Building on his earlier book, Buildings, Faith and Worship, which explored the liturgical arrangement of Anglican churches between 1600 and 1900, Professor Yates has provided a well researched and entertaining account of the interplay between the liturgies of the various denominations and the way church buildings, old and new, have been ordered. Professor Yates is an acknowledged expert in this field, and serious students and amateur church crawlers alike will enjoy his eye for quirky detail as well as the scholarly erudition that underpins this splendid volume.' The Right Reverend David Stancliffe, Bishop of Salisbury, UK This is a masterly overview of the continual process down the centuries by which the Church responds to a renewed vision of God by revisiting the church building and reshaping it to better reflect the hopes and aspirations of the community of faith. Both scholar and worshipper will be enriched by it. The Very Reverend Richard Giles, Dean of Philadelphia Cathedral, USA No liturgical historian or indeed anyone who has any kind of responsibility for liturgy can afford to be without this book, dealing as it does with how theology and worship affect the use of liturgical space. This book shows how different theological and liturgical insights impact on how churches have been re-ordered for worship at different times and across all the denominations, and is therefore invaluable for those responsible for modern day worship. The Most Reverend Dr Barry C Morgan, The Archbishop of Wales Interesting and attractive in equal measure, and much more than a handbook or introductory overview, Liturgical Space is comprehensive, authoritative, and suggestive in its interweaving of architecture, theology, ecclesiology, and history.

Taylor & Francis Art and the Relic Cult of St. Antoninus in
Book SynopsisTracing the history of St. Antoninus' cult and burial from the time of his death in 1459 until his remains were moved to their final resting place in 1589, this interdisciplinary study demonstrates that the saint's relic cult was a key element of Florence's sacred cityscape. The works of art created in his honor, as well as the rituals practiced at his fifteenth- and sixteenth-century places of burial, advertised Antoninus' saintly power and persona to the people who depended upon his intercessory abilities to negotiate life's challenges. Drawing on a rich variety of contemporary visual, literary, and archival sources, this volume explores the ways in which shifting political, familial, and ecclesiastical aims and agendas shaped the ways in which St. Antoninus' holiness was broadcast to those who visited his burial church. Author Sally Cornelison foregrounds the visual splendor of the St. Antoninus Chapel, which was designed, built, and decorated by Medici court artist Giambologna anTrade Review'In this finely produced, eloquent, and meticulously researched volume Sally J. Cornelison draws together a wealth of archival and rare materials to trace the development of Antoninus’s relic cult from his death to the completion of the St. Antoninus chapel in San Marco in 1591, designed by Giambologna and financed by the Salviati family, clients of the Medici.' Catholic Historical Review 'Overall, this is an admirably detailed and clearly-written account of a Florentine cult and monument that have long deserved monographic treatment; it will be a standard art-historical reference for anyone wanting to understand the saint's history and that of his legacy.' Meredith J. Gill, Associate Professor, Italian Renaissance, Art Department of Art History and Archaeology, University of Maryland, College Park 'Cornelison’s study admirably achieves its proposed objective of placing the commission of the Salviati chapel in the larger context of Renaissance devotion to Antoninus. In doing so, Art and the Relic Cult of St. Antoninus in Renaissance Florence brings new light to a deeply underestimated artistic complex and its interlaced figurative program.' Caa.Reviews 'One of the goals of the book was to rehabilitate the significance of St. Antoninus’ cult. In this it succeeds. Moreover, it gives us the most comprehensive and substantial description of the sixteenth century chapel until now. Even though Cornelison approaches the subject from the perspective of the Antoninus’ cult, she delivers a balanced story, considering all aspects, from the saint’s life and cult, to the patrons and the artists.' Journal für Kunstgeschichte 'The successful integration of the artistic, religious, and political components of the Antoninus cult and its display make this a most illuminating and satisfying work-it is recommended reading.' Sixteenth Century Journal '...excellent volume... The author achieves her objective through the perspicacious reading and interpretation of a wide variety of visual and textual sources, presented in the numerous illustrations and listed in the ample bibliography.' Burlington Magazine '... stunning book... a fine addition to Ashgate's Visual Culture in Early Modernity Series, and it will be an equally fine addition to the bookshelf of any serious art lover or anyone interested in exploring the power of myth and memory.'
