Description The Christian image in the process of modern globalisation
The Christian image in the process of modern globalisationDrawing on original research covering different periods and spaces, this book sets out to appreciate the specific place of images in the history of evangelisation in the long modern period. How can we reconceptualise the functions of the visual mediation of the gospel message, both in terms of the production and reception of this message and in terms of its effective mediators, artists, religious, and cultural ambassadors? The contributions in this book offer multiple geographical and historical insights regarding the circulation of the image on the global scale of the Christianised world or the world in the process of being Christianised, from China to Iberia. Combining the contribution of historians and art historians, the authors highlight the points of intercultural encounter and tension around preaching, catechesis, devotional practices and the propagandistic use of images.Through its aesthetic and social study of the image, and by examining the inner and outer borders of Europe and the mission lands, Eloquent Images contributes significantly to the history of evangelisation, one of the major dynamics of the first European globalisation.Contributors: Pierre-Antoine Fabre (EHESS, Paris), Clara Lieutaghi (EHESS Paris), Silvia Notarfonso (Universita di Macerata), Silvia Mostaccio (UCLouvain), Mauro Salis (Universita di Cagliari), Valentina Borniotto (Universita di Genova), Gwladys Le Cuff (Paris-Sorbonne - EHESS Paris), Mauricio Oviedo Salazar (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen), Maria Joao Pereira Coutinho (IHA/FCSH/NOVA Lisbon), Silvia Ferreira (IHA/FCSH/NOVA Lisbon), Paulo De Campos Pinto (Universidade Catolica Portuguesa), Lorenzo Ratto (Universita di Genova), Stephanie Porras (Tulane University), Arianna Magnani (Universita Ca' Foscari di Venezia), Michela Catto (Universita di Torino), Federico Palomo (Universidad Complutense de Madrid), Roberto Ricci (Istituto storico italiano per l'eta moderna e contemporanea, Roma), Francesco Sorce (independent scholar), Maria Vittoria Spissu (Universita di Bologna).
