"Rares sont les motifs architecturaux qui témoignent d'une persistance telle que les ordres anthropomorphes, depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à la période actuelle, en passant par le Moyen Âge. Leur évolution s'articule par de subtiles interactions entre les domaines sculptural, architectural et pictural, alors qu'une fortune théorique durable a été instaurée par la description détaillée par Vitruve des «Perses» et des «Caryatides» dans son traité De architectura libri decem. Contrairement aux ordres architecturaux canoniques, ce « sixième ordre » invite à des interprétations et des variations plus souples et plus personnelles. Il put ainsi assimiler des traditions locales très diverses lors de son parcours triomphal dans toute l'Europe. Si la signification originelle de soumission et de châtiment de ces supports reste valable, les valeurs narratives ne cessèrent de s'enrichir et de s'amplifier, en faisant de ce motif un protagoniste abondamment présent dans de multiples genres artistiques, des meubles aux monuments les plus prestigieux, et qui révèle les mutations typologiques et stylistiques au fil du temps. Les contributions réunies dans ces deux volumes fournissent un large panorama européen de ces occurrences, offrant un large éventail de synergies et d'affinités révélatrices." --

Throughout the fin de siècle, "energy" was a buzzword that was used far beyond the boundaries of the sciences to negotiate the formative scope as well as limits of Western modernity. The human body was positioned at the center of the visualization of this enigmatic drive of all movement in discourses on labor and economics, physical culture, sport, art, and literature. It was through the body that this all-pervading and conditioning physical principle as well as its perceptual qualities were to be made tangible. This volume is dedicated to these "energetic bodies." The transdisciplinary individual contributions trace body scenarios of force and energy over the course of history from 1800 to the peak phase around 1900 and up to the present.

This fascinating new look at the artistic legacy of the Tudors reveals the dynasty’s enduring influence on the arts of Renaissance England and beyond. Ruling successively from 1485 through 1603, the five Tudor monarchs brought seismic changes to England that reverberated throughout Europe. They used the arts to legitimize and glorify their tumultuous rule, from Henry VII’s bloody rise to power, through Henry VIII’s breach with the Roman Catholic Church, to the reign of the “Virgin Queen” Elizabeth I. With incisive scholarship and sumptuous new photography, this book explores the extreme politics and outsize personalities of the Tudors, and how they used art in their diplomacy at home and abroad. Tudor courts were truly cosmopolitan, attracting top artists and artisans from across Europe. At the same time, the Tudors nurtured local talent and gave rise to a distinctly English aesthetic, one that is forever connected to the myth and visual legacy of their dynasty. The Tudors reveals the true history behind a family that has long captured the public imagination, bringing to life their extravagant and politically precarious world through the exquisite paintings, lush textiles, gleaming metalwork, and countless luxury objects that adorned their spectacular courts.

Scottish philosophy had a decisive impact in the 18th century, not only on the English-speaking world but also on the Enlightment in central Europe. That impact was perhaps most greatly felt in Germany, where the advancement of Scottish moral sense philosophy, Hume's Scepticism and Common Sense philosophy was marked by a series of important translations. Six of the most significant texts, most of them very rare today, are reprinted here. Although some of the works by Scottish philosophers were known and discussed before the death of Christian Wolff, their importance increased considerably after the decline of German school metaphysics around the middle of the century. English at that time was less widely known, so the German editions became highly influential. The translations were often by important German Enlightenment thinkers and philosophers such as Lessing and Christian Garve, and several were provided with interesting introductions and commentaries by their translators and editions. In the case of Hume's first "Enquiry", the editor Johann Georg Sulzer, an adherent of Wolffian metaphysics, commented extensively on Hume's philosophy. It was this translation that famously woke Kant from his "dogmatic slumber".
