The only surviving manuscript of a sermon pronounced by Stefan Jaworski in Kyiv on 8 September 1693 includes a “funeral note” commemorating Łazarz Baranowicz’s death. Jaworski’s sermon and funeral ...note, which in the extant witness follows the sermon, have neither been published nor studied before. By providing an analysis of both, the aim of this paper is to investigate and compare the works of the two preachers and poets, and to draw some conclusions about their personalities, poetic style, and worldview. Baranowicz’s poems and Jaworski’s sermon also provide some interesting details which shed new light on the literary and cultural milieu of Kyiv and Czernihów in the last three decades of the 17th century.
What is the Baroque? Where did it come from and where did it go? Why do we have to ask these questions? Because art historians seem largely satisfied with their answers and most scholars of German ...literature are not satisfied, yet have stopped asking.This book discerns in the Baroque an aesthetic phenomenon that crosses both media and national boundaries in its celebration of excess and its disintegration of system, unity, and identity. The compositional principles and theoretical implications of the Baroque, as it first arose in Italian art, find expression in German poetics, drama, poetry, and narrative – expression accessible only through resolute close reading. Readings of Bernini, Borromini, Velázquez, Rubens, Fracanzano, and de Hooch precipitate readings of Opitz, Gryphius, Fleming, Zesen, Hoffmannswaldau, and Grimmelshausen, demonstrating that seventeenth-century German literature both is Baroque and confirms what the Baroque is.

La geografía literaria es un cruce interdisciplinario entre teoría de la literatura, geografía, cartografía digital y análisis espacial. En esta contribución abordamos las posibilidades y ...limitaciones de las tecnologías digitales para la cuantificación y visualización del espacio narrativo de los textos ficcionales. El análisis se basa en un corpus específico adscrito al género de la novela bizantina española del Siglo de Oro, cuyo cronotopo de la aventura está marcado con viajes, travesías marítimas, exotismo, encuentros transculturales, etc. A esta característica espacial singularizadora se añade la influencia directa de la cartografía histórica en la creación artística. Nos hemos servido de la extracción automática de lugares (Stanford y Freeling), de la georreferenciación (Qgis), de la geolocalización (GeoNames, Pelagios), del tratamiento de datos (R) y de la visualización en mapas (leaflet maps en R). Aunque podremos concluir que un acercamiento cuantitativo representa limitaciones que impiden explicar cómo funciona el género bizantino espacialmente, una visualización asociada a la superposición de mapas históricos podría servir, en nuestro caso, para añadir conocimiento al análisis del espacio literario.
The Female Baroque is a contribution to the revival since the 1980s of early modern women's writings and cultural production in English. Its originality is twofold: it links women's writing in ...English with the wider context of Baroque culture, and it introduces the issue of gender into discussion of the Baroque. The title comes from Julia Kristeva's study of Teresa of Avila, that 'the secrets of Baroque civilization are female'. The book is built on a schema of recurring Baroque characteristics - narrativity, hyperbole, melancholia, kitsch, and plateauing, pointing less to surface manifestations and more to underlying ideological tensions. The crucial concept of the Female Baroque is developed in detail. Attention is then given particularly to Gertrude More, Mary Ward, Aemilia Lanyer, The Ferrar/Collet women, Mary Wroth, the Cavendish sisters, Hester Pulter, Anne Hutchinson, Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn, the latter two whose lives and writings point to the developing cultural transition to the Enlightenment.
Theater sind Maschinen des Erscheinens. Und Theatermaschinen, die erscheinen lassen, verbergen sich selbst und bezeugen sich in ihren Effekten. Das teilen sie mit den Machinationen, wie Intrigen bis ...ins 19. Jahrhundert hießen. Sie widerstreiten dem Primat der dramatischen Handlung und ermöglichen in Verbindung mit Musik und anderen Illuminationen Theater als Spektakel. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fragen nach dem Zusammenhang von Maschine, Machination, Schauspiel und Schauraum. Mit der Figur der Maschine denken sie das Theater von seinen Rändern her und arbeiten heraus, wie ein maschineninduziertes Spektakel auch in Theaterformen (weiter-)lebt, denen das Spektakuläre suspekt geworden ist.
This article examines Carlo Emilio Gadda's translations of two Spanish texts from the Siglo de Oro. In the first section, by situating Gadda's translations in the context of the "rediscovery" of the ...Baroque in Italy, his work is presented as the result not only of his literary preferences and long acquaintance with Baroque literature, but also as the product of an activity that fully engages with its contemporary cultural system. In the second section, the goal is to read Gadda's translations through the lens of Umberto Eco's "open work", a notion that stemmed in part from the same context of rediscovery of the Baroque in the 1950s.
In a comparative and interdisciplinary analysis of modern and postmodern literature, film, art, and visual culture, Monika Kaup examines the twentieth century's recovery of the baroque within a ...hemispheric framework embracing North America, Latin America, and U.S. Latino/a culture. As "neobaroque" comes to the forefront of New World studies, attention to transcultural dynamics is overturning the traditional scholarship that confined the baroque to a specific period, class, and ideology in the seventeenth century. Reflecting on the rich, nonlinear genealogy of baroque expression,Neobaroque in the Americasenvisions the baroque as an anti-proprietary expression that brings together seemingly disparate writers and artists and contributes to the new studies in global modernity.
