Book excerpt: The pompa circensis, the procession which preceded the chariot races in the arena, was both a prominent political pageant and a hallowed religious ritual. Traversing a landscape of memory, the procession wove together spaces and institutions, monuments and performers, gods and humans into an image of the city, whose contours shifted as Rome changed. In the late Republic, the parade produced an image of Rome as the senate and the people with their gods - a deeply traditional symbol of the city which was transformed during the empire when an imperial image was built on top of the republican one. In late antiquity, the procession fashioned a multiplicity of Romes: imperial, traditional, and Christian. In this book, Jacob A. Latham explores the webs of symbolic meanings in the play between performance and itinerary, tracing the transformations of the circus procession from the late Republic to late antiquity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, scholarly analysis of Elizabethan processions has always regarded them as having been successful in their function as propaganda, and has always found them to have effectively 'won over' the common people - that group of the population at whom they were chiefly aimed. Both her Royal entries and progresses were regarded as effective public relations exercises, the population gaining access to the Queen and thus being encouraged to remain loyal subjects. This book represents a new approach to this subject by investigating whether this was actually the case - that is, whether the common people were actually won over by these spectacular rituals. By examining original documents that have thus far been ignored, as well as re-examining others from the perspective of the common people, the book casts a new light on Elizabethan processions.

Book excerpt: The Progresses, Processions, and Royal Entries of King Charles I, 1625-1642 is the first study to focus on the history, and the political and cultural significance, of the travels and public profile of Charles I. As well as offering a much fuller account of the king's progresses and Caroline progress entertainments than currently exists, this volumes throws fresh light on the question of Charles I's accessibility to his subjects and their concerns, and the part that this may, or may not, have played in the political conflicts which culminated in the English civil wars and Charles's overthrow. Drawing on extensive archival research, the history opens with an introduction to the early modern culture of royal progresses and public ceremonial as inherited and practiced by Charles I. Part I explores the question of the king's accessibility further through case studies of Charles's three 'great' progresses in 1633, 1634, and 1636. Part II turns attention to royal public ceremonial culture in Caroline London, focusing on Charles's spectacular royal entry to the city on 25 November 1641. More widely travelled than his ancestors, Progresses reveals a monarch who was only too well aware of the value of public ceremonial and who did not eschew it, even if he was not always willing to engage in ceremonial dialogue with his subjects or able to deploy the propaganda power of public display as successfully as his Tudor and Stuart predecessors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He did not see the partition of India, but discovered that his mother was a refugee. He heard that India lost a war with China many years ago. He was growing up, and the Naxalite movement in India was also growing up with him. He read in newspapers and listened from the radio, Indian Armys victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war. But this victory, he felt, was achieved through huge tension in his poor family: his elder brother could have been sent to the war front and killed. As a boy he learned about Atom Bomb, Exigency, Lizards and Indian politics. The story revolved around the life of J, the young lad growing up in a small town in Bengal. As he grew up, J watched life and death unfolding in front of him. In death he saw life, and in life, he discovered hope, despair, magnanimity, deceit, hypocrisy and benevolence. J watched society and politics and their many faces. As a child he observed the Naxalite movement with chivalry and pride; later he watched the Centrist and the Left rules in Bengal and got to know from his teacher that political activists often changed jerseys to get the fruits of power. With ignorance of a child he saw the first funeral procession of his father, with excruciating pain he watched again, this time as a boy, another funeral procession, of his elder brother. Later he observed, as a young man, the funeral procession of a Head of Government. He felt that funeral processions were slowly expanding, from family to the state, and gradually engulfing his country. Built around ten chapters, the novel reflected the socio-political milieu of Bengal and India in the 1970s and 80s through the journey of J, its principal character, from childhood to adulthood. The journey also discovered the necessity of peace in times of war and peace.

Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated catalogue accompanies the first major museum retrospective of the painter Norman Lewis (1909Ð1979). Lewis was the sole African American artist of his generation who became committed to issues of abstraction at the start of his career and continued to explore them over its entire trajectory. His art derived inspiration from music (jazz and classical) and nature (seasonal change, plant forms, the sea). Also central to his work were the dramatic confrontations of the civil rights movement, in which he was an active participant among the New York art scene. Bridging the Harlem Renaissance, Abstract Expressionism, and beyond, Lewis is a crucial figure in American abstraction whose reinsertion into the discourse further opens the field for recognition of the contributions of artists of color. Bringing much-needed attention to LewisÕs output and significance in the history of American art, Procession is a milestone in Lewis scholarship and a vital resource for future study of the artist and abstraction in his period.
