Fascinating and enigmatic to this day: The Accurata Utopiae Tabula, an anonymous map of Cockaigne accompanied by an explanatory book (thought to be by Schnebelin), inspired the likes of Leibniz and ...was a popular supplement to atlases around 1700. Extensively embellished with euonyms for its locations, this multimedia ensemble offers a luxurious landscape of vices in addition to its ‘merry discourse of gluttony and boozing’. The multilingual map contains hidden connections to not only fictional worlds, such as the lands of giants in Rabelais and Fischart, but also to such historical realities as the early modern economy of credit. An enjoyable journey of discovery across the borders of different arts and disciplines, guided by the compass of media history.

Karneval je vrijeme slobode, razuzdanosti, igre, veselja. Svoj začetak nalazi u pretkršćanskoj tradiciji, a kalendarski označava razdoblje od Sveta tri kralja do Pepelnice. U europskoj kulturnoj ...svijesti zauzimao je važno mjesto, a danonoćno slavlje nije zaobišlo ni Dubrovnik. Sukladno potonjem, cilj je ovog rada prikazati kako su to izgledale pokladne svetkovine Dubrovčana za koje su kasniji dubrovački pisci nostalgično tvrdili kako su predstavljale Dionizove svečanosti. Tako će, između ostaloga, u radu
biti prikazani pokladni običaji Dubrovčana, različite vrste pokladne lirike, ali će se nešto riječi posvetiti i talijanskom karnevalu koji je uvelike utjecao na dubrovački.

Venice incognito Johnson, James H

"The entire town is disguised," declared a French tourist of eighteenth-century Venice. And, indeed, maskers of all ranks--nobles, clergy, imposters, seducers, con men--could be found mixing at every ...level of Venetian society. Even a pious nun donned a mask and male attire for her liaison with the libertine Casanova. In Venice Incognito, James H. Johnson offers a spirited analysis of masking in this carnival-loving city. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the world view of maskers, both during and outside of carnival, and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity.
"Traces the ways that Cuban poets dealt with issues of national identity, reflected in their views of Afrocubanismo, often in response to historical changes in public and official opinions on the ...most visual manifestation of Afro-Cuban culture: carnival."-Choice"Uncovers a wealth of literary texts, primarily poems, that chart the impact of las comparsas, Afro-Cuban festival dances, on mainstream Cuban life. . . . Investigates the ways in which the relationship between racial and ethnic divisions, and between castes and classes, created a literary movement full to the brim with emotional and sensational resonances."-Wasafiri"Underscores the sociopolitical and historical contexts of these poems which have shaped the literary production and message of the Afrocubanismo movement. . . . A tour de force."-Callaloo"Successfully plumbs the position of the Afro-Cuban performer and brings into sharp relief the way politicians historically sought to affect all elements of Cuban culture."-New West Indian GuideCarnival and National Identity in the Poetry of Afrocubanismo offers thought-provoking new readings of poems by seminal Cuban poets, demonstrating how their writings affected the development of a recognizable Afro-Cuban identity. Thomas Anderson examines the long-running debate between the proponents of Afro-Cuban cultural manifestations and the predominantly white Cuban intelligentsia, who viewed these traditions as "backward" and counter to the interests of the young Republic. Including analyses of the work of Felipe Pichardo Moya, Alejo Carpentier, Nicols Guilln, Emilio Ballagas, Jos Zacaras Tallet, Felix B. Caignet, Marcelino Arozarena, and Alfonso Camn, this rigorous, interdisciplinary volume offers a fresh look at the canon of Afrocubanismo and offers surprising insights into Cuban culture during the early years of the Republic.
