El Tesauro de la cultura escrita en la Edad Moderna abarca un universo conceptual múltiple y heterogéneo en torno a la Historia del libro, la lectura, las bibliotecas, la imprenta y la escritura en la Europa Moderna. La interdisciplinariedad de la historiografía producida sobre los temas citados convertirá este tesauro en un vocabulario de consulta obligada para especialistas procedentes de muy distintos ámbitos del conocimiento, como modernistas, filólogos, historiadores del arte y de la literatura, paleógrafos, bibliotecarios y archiveros. Dicha transversalidad, tan propia a las últimas tendencias de la investigación en Humanidades, hace imprescindible contar con herramientas terminológicas adecuadas, que configuren auténticos "mapas" semánticos del conocimiento. Esta obra lo es, tanto por su magnífica estructuración como por la exhaustividad del lenguaje recogido. Y además refleja el espíritu de "Tesoro" que preconizó Covarrubias.
En la segunda mitad del siglo XV se abrió un ciclo particularmente brillante para la cultura escrita cuyas consecuencias pueden rastrearse durante toda la Edad Moderna y, aún más, en los siglos contemporáneos. A fin de analizar algunas de sus manifestaciones, este libro se interesa especialmente por las formas gráficas y significados de las escrituras expuestas, desde la inscripción renacentista a la pintada política en la dictadura chilena; las prácticas epistolares en cuanto que testimonio de la importancia social de la comunicación escrita; los libros de memorias, considerados como objetos donde se configura la memoria personal y familiar, susceptibles incluso de ser interpretados en clave autobiográfica; y por último, distintos acercamientos a la apropiación de los textos con la mirada puesta en los consumidores e intermediarios, desde la nobleza culta hasta los lectores más «débiles», prestando atención tanto a la cultura manuscrita como a la impresa entre los siglos XVI y XIX. Frente al fetichismo libresco que caracteriza no pocas aproximaciones a la Historia de la Cultura Escrita, esta obra se interesa por esta en la diversidad de sus formas textuales —epigráficas, murales, manuscritas o impresas, permanentes y efímeras—, pues solo así se puede captar la riqueza de cuanto una determinada sociedad, integrada por gentes de letras pero también por semialfabetizados y analfabetos, escribe y lee. Culturas del escrito, en suma, que certifican la vitalidad de esta corriente de investigación y tratan de contribuir a la Historia que escribimos en estos tiempos de incertidumbre.

This volume, consisting of seventeen studies by leading experts in the field, constitutes an important new survey of Dutch jewish history.
The Mediterranean port of Livorno was home to one of the most prominent and privileged Jewish enclaves of early modern Europe. Focusing on Livornese Jewry, this book offers an alternative perspective on Jewish acculturation during the eighteenth century, and reassesses common assumptions about the interactions of Jews with outside culture and the impact of state reforms on the corporate Jewish community. Working from a vast array of previously untapped archival and literary sources, Francesca Bregoli combines cultural analysis with a study of institutional developments to investigate Jewish responses to Enlightenment thought and politics, as well as non-Jewish perceptions of Jews, through an exploration of Jewish-Christian cultural exchange, sites of sociability, and reformist policies. Mediterranean Enlightenment shows that Livornese Jewish scholars engaged with Enlightenment ideals and aspired to contribute to society at large without weakening the boundaries of traditional Jewish life. By arguing that the privileged status of Livorno Jewry had conservative rather than liberalizing effects, it also challenges the notion that economic utility facilitates Jewish integration, nuancing received wisdom about processes of emancipation in Europe.
Architecture as imprint, as brand, as the new media of transformation—of places, communities, corporations, and people. In the twenty-first century, we must learn to look at cities not as skylines but as brandscapes and at buildings not as objects but as advertisements and destinations. In the experience economy, experience itself has become the product: we're no longer consuming objects but sensations, even lifestyles. In the new environment of brandscapes, buildings are not about where we work and live but who we imagine ourselves to be. In Brandscapes, Anna Klingmann looks critically at the controversial practice of branding by examining its benefits, and considering the damage it may do. Klingmann argues that architecture can use the concepts and methods of branding—not as a quick-and-easy selling tool for architects but as a strategic tool for economic and cultural transformation. Branding in architecture means the expression of identity, whether of an enterprise or a city; New York, Bilbao, and Shanghai have used architecture to enhance their images, generate economic growth, and elevate their positions in the global village. Klingmann looks at different kinds of brandscaping today, from Disneyland, Las Vegas, and Times Square—prototypes and case studies in branding—to Prada's superstar-architect-designed shopping epicenters and the banalities of Niketown. But beyond outlining the status quo, Klingmann also alerts us to the dangers of brandscapes. By favoring the creation of signature buildings over more comprehensive urban interventions and by severing their identity from the complexity of the social fabric, Klingmann argues, today's brandscapes have, in many cases, resulted in a culture of the copy. As experiences become more and more commodified, and the global landscape progressively more homogenized, it falls to architects to infuse an ever more aseptic landscape with meaningful transformations. How can architects use branding as a means to differentiate places from the inside out—and not, as current development practices seem to dictate, from the outside in? When architecture brings together ecology, economics, and social well-being to help people and places regain self-sufficiency, writes Klingmann, it can be a catalyst for cultural and economic transformation.
