- Description
- This is a study of the women of the famous Medici family of Florence in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Tomas examines the changing contribution of the women in the Medici family to the eventual success of the Medici regime and their exercise of power within it: and contributes to our historical understanding of how women were able to wield power in late medieval and early modern Italy and Europe. She takes a feminist approach that examines the experience of the Medici women within a critical framework of gender analysis, rather than biography. She analyzes the Medici women's uses of power and influence over time. She also analyzes the varied contemporary reactions to and representation of that power, and the manner in which the women's actions in the political sphere changed over the course of the century between republican and ducal rule (1434–1537). The narrative focuses especially on how women were able to exercise power, the constraints placed upon them, and how their gender intersected with the exercise of power and influence. oorspr. uitgave: 2003

- Description
- Anhand primär außermusikalischer Quellen werden die vielfältigen Funktionen gezeigt, in denen Frauen an der Musikkultur der Renaissance und des Barocks teilhatten: als Mäzeninnen und Impulsgeberinnen, Vermittlerinnen und Sammlerinnen, als (professionelle und private) Sängerinnen und Instrumentalistinnen und - äußerst selten - auch als Komponistinnen. Allgemeine Darstellungen wechseln sich dabei mit biographischen Skizzen ab, in denen das musikalische Wirken heute vergessener Frauen rekonstruiert wird.

- Description
- Dress is a crucial aspect of embodiment, shaping the self physically and psychologically.This book exposes the complex ways that fashions and costumes render the body presentable in a vast range of social situations. It investigates the varied ways in which western and non-western clothes operate to give the body meaning and situate it within culture. The authors consider different approaches to the relationship between fashion, dress and the body, and present new theoretical models for their future study. They demonstrate the importance of the concept of ‘embodiment’ to dress and fashion studies. Exploring gender, photography, cultural history and modernity, this book deals with a vast range of questions inherent in dressing up the body. From fashion photography in the 1960s to contemporary queer fashion and the history of the masquerade, this is a far-reaching collection.
