Poussin’s Women: Sex and Gender in the Artist’s Works examines the paintings and drawings of the well-known seventeenth-century French painter Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665) from a gender studies ...perspective, focusing on a critical analysis of his representations of women. The book’s thematic chapters investigate Poussin’s women in their roles as predators, as lustful or the objects of lust, as lovers, killers, victims, heroines, or models of virtue. Poussin’s paintings reflect issues of gender within his social situation as he consciously or unconsciously articulated its conflicts and assumptions. A gender studies approach brings to light new critical insights that illuminate how the artist represented women, both positively and negatively, within the framework in his seventeenth-century culture. This book covers the artist’s works from Classical mythology, Roman history, Tasso, and the Bible. It serves as a good overview of Poussin as an artist, discussing the latest research and including new interpretations of his major works.
A landmark account of the work, thought, and life of the
seventeenth-century French painter In this book, Anthony
Blunt presents a rich account of the paintings, life, and
development of the great ...seventeenth-century French classicist
Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665), addressing the artist's entire oeuvre
alongside his theory of art. Blunt shows why Poussin holds a
central place in the great French humanist line that produced
Racine, Molière, Voltaire, the Parnassians, and Mallarmé. At the
same time, he examines how Poussin looks back to Raphael and
ancient Rome, while pointing forward to Ingres, Cézanne, the
Cubists, and Picasso.
The excessive use of polystyrene as a packaging material has resulted in a rise in environmental pollution. Polystyrene waste has continually increased water pollution, soil pollution and the closing ...of landfill sites since it is durable and resistant to biodegradation. Therefore, the challenge in polystyrene disposal has caused researchers to look for urgent innovative and eco-friendly solutions for plastic degradation. The current study focuses on the isolation and identification of bacteria produced by the larvae of beetle Tenebrio molitor (yellow mealworms), that enable them to survive when fed with polystyrene foam as their sole carbon diet.
The biodegradation of polystyrene by Tenebrio molitor was investigated by breeding and rearing the mealworms in the presence and absence of polystyrene. A comparison was made between those fed with a normal diet and those fed on polystyrene. The mealworms which were fed with polystyrene were then dissected and the guts were collected to isolate and identify the bacteria in their guts. The viability and metabolic activity of the isolates were investigated. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by sequencing was used for molecular identification of the isolates. The PCR products were directly sequenced using Sanger's method and the phylogenetic tree and molecular evolutionary analyses were constructed using MEGAX software with the Neighbour Joining algorithm. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method.
The decrease in mass of the polystyrene as feedstock confirmed that the mealworms were depending on polystyrene as their sole carbon diet. The frass egested by mealworms also confirmed the biodegradation of polystyrene as it contained very tiny residues of polystyrene. Three isolates were obtained from the mealworms guts, and all were found to be gram-negative. The sequencing results showed that the isolates were Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 13182, Klebsiella oxytoca NBRC 102593 and Klebsiella oxytoca JCM 1665.
Klebsiella oxytoca ATCC 13182, Klebsiella oxytoca NBRC 102593 and Klebsiella oxytoca JCM 1665 maybe some of the bacteria responsible for polystyrene biodegradation.

Pese a ser Jerónimo de Cáncer uno de los mejores entremesistas del Siglo de Oro, todavía no se había tenido la oportunidad de reunir su obra más significativa para acceso y deleite del gran público. ...Dispersa parte de ella en volúmenes colectivos de lo más variopinto, esta es la primera vez que se compila en un solo ejemplar un grupo de piezas que representan lo más granado de su autor al tiempo que su estilo identifica también una manera de crear un teatro de notable éxito en su momento. Afamado entre sus contemporáneos, sus legajos quedaron sepultados por el tiempo hasta que solo recientemente han empezado a recuperar el lustre del que siempre hicieron gala. Recoge el presente volumen, en auténtica primicia, doce de sus piezas más significativas, que, insólitamente, no habían vuelto a ver la luz desde el momento de su primera publicación. Precede a la edición crítica un estudio donde se pone de relieve el ingrediente fundamental de este tipo de textos: la risa, en sus diferentes manifestaciones.
Andrés de Fonseca (1584-c. 1665) pasó la mayor parte de su vida en Castilla. El cristiano nuevo había nacido en Portugal; al final de su vida, se convirtió al judaísmo y murió por 1665 en Pisa. ...Mostrando tanto rasgos comunes como particulares, la trayectoria de Andrés de Fonseca y de sus parientes refleja la historia de los cristianos nuevos portugueses. Como tantos otros judeoconversos, la familia se movía entre cristianismo y judaísmo, entre integración y migración. Al mismo tiempo, las biografías de Andrés de Fonseca y de sus dos hijos mostraban una insólita combinación de orientación académica y actividades financieras. Además, los tres desarrollaban una notable ambigüedad religiosa y social, con unas consecuencias intelectuales extraordinarias.
Early seventeenth-century Italy saw a revolution in instrumental music. Large, varied, and experimental, the new instrumental repertoire was crucial for the Western tradition—but until now, the ...impulses that gave rise to it had yet to be fully explored. Curious and Modern Inventions offers fresh insight into the motivating forces behind this music, tracing it to a new conception of instruments of all sorts—whether musical, artistic, or scientific—as vehicles of discovery.Rebecca Cypess shows that early modern thinkers were fascinated with instrumental technologies. The telescope, the clock, the pen, the lute—these were vital instruments for leading thinkers of the age, from Galileo Galilei to Giambattista Marino. No longer used merely to remake an object or repeat a process already known, instruments were increasingly seen as tools for open-ended inquiry that would lead to new knowledge. Engaging with themes from the history of science, literature, and the visual arts, this study reveals the intimate connections between instrumental music and the scientific and artisanal tools that served to mediate between individuals and the world around them.
When Philip IV of Spain died in 1665, his heir, Carlos II, was
three years old. In addition to this looming dynastic crisis,
decades of enormous military commitments had left Spain a virtually
...bankrupt state with vulnerable frontiers and a depleted army. In
Silvia Z. Mitchell's revisionist account, Queen, Mother, and
Stateswoman , Queen Regent Mariana of Austria emerges as a
towering figure at court and on the international stage, while her
key collaborators-the secretaries, ministers, and diplomats who
have previously been ignored or undervalued-take their rightful
place in history.
Mitchell provides a nuanced account of Mariana of Austria's
ten-year regency (1665-75) of the global Spanish Empire and
examines her subsequent role as queen mother. Drawing from
previously unmined primary sources, including Council of State
deliberations, diplomatic correspondence, Mariana's and Carlos's
letters, royal household papers, manuscripts, and legal documents,
Mitchell describes how, over the course of her regency, Mariana led
the monarchy out of danger and helped redefine the military and
diplomatic blocs of Europe in Spain's favor. She follows Mariana's
exile from court and recounts how the dowager queen used her
extensive connections and diplomatic experience to move the
negotiations for her son's marriage forward, effectively exploiting
the process to regain her position.
A new narrative of the Spanish Habsburg monarchy in the later
seventeenth century, this volume advances our knowledge of women's
legitimate political entitlement in the early modern period. It
will be welcomed by scholars and students of queenship, women's
studies, and early modern Spain.
