Caroline Walker

Scottish artist Caroline Walker (b.1982) is known for her accomplished paintings which offer a lens into the everyday lives of women. Bringing together work made over the past five years, exploring themes of motherhood and early-years care, this important publication reveals the evolution of Caroline Walker’s highly original artistic language. Through her large canvases, intimate panels and ink sketches, Walker portrays diverse female subjects in settings that blur the boundaries between public and private worlds, and reveal the complex social, cultural and economic experiences of women living in contemporary society. Walker's considerable skill in fusing a mastery of her medium with subjects that invite debate has ensured her standing as one of the leading painters working in Britain today.

Dissimilar Similitudes - Devotional Objects in Late Medieval Europe

From an acclaimed historian, a mesmerizing account of how medieval European Christians envisioned the paradoxical nature of holy objects Between the twelfth and the sixteenth centuries, European Christians used in worship a plethora of objects, not only prayer books, statues, and paintings but also pieces of natural materials, such as stones and earth, considered to carry holiness, dolls representing Jesus and Mary, and even bits of consecrated bread and wine thought to be miraculously preserved flesh and blood. Theologians and ordinary worshippers alike explained, utilized, justified, and warned against some of these objects, which could carry with them both anti-Semitic charges and the glorious promise of heaven. Their proliferation and the reaction against them form a crucial background to the European-wide movements we know today as 'reformations' (both Protestant and Catholic). In a set of independent but inter-related essays, Caroline Bynum considers some examples of such holy

Wonderful Blood

Fragmentation and Redemption

These seven essays by noted historian Caroline Walker Bynum exemplify her argument that historians must write in a 'comic' mode, aware of history's artifice, risks, and incompletion. Exploring a diverse array of medieval texts, the essays show how women were able to appropriate dominant social symbols in ways that revised and undercut them, allowing their own creative and religious voices to emerge. Taken together, they provide a model of how to account for gender in studying medieval texts and offer a new interpretation of the role of asceticism and mysticism in Christianity. In the first three essays, Bynum focuses on the methodological problems inherent in the writing of history. She shows that a consideration of medieval texts written by women and the rituals attractive to them undermines the approaches of three 20th-century intellectual figures-Victor Turner, Max Weber, and Leo Steinberg-and illustrates how other disciplines can enrich historical research. These methodological

Christian Materiality

Late Medieval Christianity's encounter with miraculous materials viewed in the context of changing conceptions of matter itself. In the period between 1150 and 1550, an increasing number of Christians in western Europe made pilgrimage to places where material objects-among them paintings, statues, relics, pieces of wood, earth, stones, and Eucharistic wafers-allegedly erupted into life through such activities as bleeding, weeping, and walking about. Challenging Christians both to seek ever more frequent encounters with miraculous matter and to turn to an inward piety that rejected material objects of devotion, such phenomena were by the fifteenth century at the heart of religious practice and polemic. In Christian Materiality, Caroline Walker Bynum describes the miracles themselves, discusses the problems they presented for both church authorities and the ordinary faithful, and probes the basic scientific and religious assumptions about matter that lay behind them. She also analyzes

Caroline

Sjælden førstehåndsberetning: Caroline Fleming fortæller for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv som del af den danske elite. Når hendes far satte Neil Diamonds ’Sweet Caroline’ på grammofonen vidste hun, at det ville blive en god aften, når hun som voksen kom på besøg på slottet. Det var som at få den kærlighedspokal, hun havde jagtet hele sin barndom. Andre gange havde hun kvalme af angst over at være tilbage i det hjem, hvor hun siden sine teenageår havde følt sig fejlanbragt; som om storken havde dumpet hende ned i den forkerte familie. Caroline Fleming er født som baronesse og arving til Valdemars Slot. Her fortæller hun for første gang hele historien om sit turbulente liv bag de smukke kulisser. Om et jetsetliv som gift i en af Englands rigeste familier, og om hvordan hun måtte bryde ud af det for ikke at gå til grunde. Om sladder, spiseforstyrrelse og en sen ADHD-diagnose. Og om at miste sin familie og det slot, hun var født til at arve, for i stedet at vinde noget
