Free Download Gabriel Eljaiek-Rodríguez, "Baroque Aesthetics in Contemporary American Horror"
English | ISBN: 3030882500 | 2021 | 187 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book traces a trend that has emerged in recent years within the modern panorama of American horror film and television, the concurrent―and often overwhelming―use of multiple stock characters, themes and tropes taken from classics of the genre. American Horror Story, Insidious and The Conjuring are examples of a filmic tendency to address a series of topics and themes so vast that at first glance each taken separately would seem to suffice for individual films or shows. This book explores this trend in its visible connections with American Horror, but also with cultural and artistic movements from outside the US, namely Baroque art and architecture, Asian Horror, and European Horror. It analyzes how these hybrid products are constructed and discusses the socio-political issues that they raise. The repeated and excessive barrage of images, tropes and scenarios from distinct subgenres of iconic horror films come together to make up an aesthetic that is referred to in this book as

Free Download Quicksilver: Volume One of the Baroque Cycle By Neal Stephenson
2003 | 944 Pages | ISBN: 0641650698 | EPUB | 2 MB
Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver is here. A monumental literary feat that follows the author's critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller Cryptonomicon, it is history, adventure, science, truth, invention, sex, absurdity, piracy, madness, death, and alchemy. It sweeps across continents and decades with the power of a roaring tornado, upending kings, armies, religious beliefs, and all expectations.It is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and conflicted Puritan, pursuing knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe, in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight. It is a chronicle of the breathtaking exploits of "Half-Cocked Jack" Shaftoe - London street urchin turned swashbuckling adventurer and legendary King of the Vagabonds - risking life and limb for fortune and love while slowly maddening from the pox ... and Eliza, rescued by Jack from a Turkish harem to become spy, confidante, and pawn of royals in order to reinvent a contentious continent through the newborn power of finance.A gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive novel that brings a remarkable age and its momentous events to vivid life - a historical epic populated by the likes of Samuel Pepys, Isaac Newton, William of Orange, Benjamin Franklin, and King Louis XIV - Quicksilver is an extraordinary achievement from one of the most original and important literary talents of our time.And it's just the beginning ...

Free Download Literature and Identity in Italian Baroque Travel Writing By Nathalie Hester
2008 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 0754661946 | PDF | 7 MB
This first full-length study in English on seventeenth-century Italian travel writing enriches our understanding of an unusually fertile period for Italian contributions to the genre. The intrinsic qualities of this literature can now be grasped in terms of the larger question of cultural identity in Italy. For Hester, the specifically literary characteristics of Italian travel writing"including its humanism or Petrarchism"highlight the classic eminence throughout Europe of a prestigious tradition inherent to Italy, one compensating then for the peninsula's lack of a national political identity. Appeals to the cultural authority of that tradition represent a means of addressing and overcoming anxieties about the Italian subject's diasporic status during the "Golden Age" of European global colonial expansion. Self-funded travelers Francesco Carletti, Pietro Della Valle, Francesco Belli, Francesco Negri, and Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri are the major authors studied who journeyed through Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and America.

Inventing Lima: Baroque Modernity in Peru's South Sea Metropolis By Alejandra B. Osorio
2008 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 140397604X | PDF | 3 MB
Inventing Lima is the first synthetic cultural history of Peru's baroque "City of the Kings." Professor Osorio's interpretation of ritual life in the Peruvian metropolis significantly revises our understanding of the colonial history of Latin America. Osorio argues that Lima was a baroque "border city" that linked the South Sea with the Andes. As the "Head city" of the Viceroyalty of Peru, Lima came to govern and represent a vast and rich domain within Spain's worldwide empire. This meticulously documented and theoretically informed study is must reading for all those interested in the modern history of cities and empires.
