Shakespeare, Art and Artifice: An Interview with Stuart Sillars

2019

Ahead of the publication of his forthcoming book, Shakespeare Seen: Image, Performance and Society (Cambridge, 2018), Stuart Sillars sat down for an interview with Perry McPartland. The discussion revisited a number of topics that Sillars has explored in his various publications on Shakespeare, including Shakespeare’s aesthetic strategies of transformation, the relationship his work takes to the visual, and the uses to which Shakespeare puts aesthetic artifice. The interview was conducted in two parts over a very nearly adequate Skype connection in the summer of 2018.

Il prospetto e il fianco della chiesa di Santa Maria la Croce a Regalbuto

2022

Today’s appearance of the church of Maria Santissima la Croce in Regalbuto is the result of interventions carried out during the last 300 years. The 19th century’s plaster decorations of the interiors hide the original structure of the 16th-century church. One of the “antiquities remainings” survived on the red carved stone arch upon the main apse. The study reveals that the model of the façade, completed in 1774, is the arch of Triumph for Porta dei Greci in Palermo, designed in 1735 by Nicolò Palma and known today thanks to an engraving by Antonino Bova. A document in the archive of the church of San Basilio demonstrates the process of the side façade design, which required reinforcement …

Contrasto tra città e campagna nella Polonia rinascimentale sullo sfondo delle aspirazioni culturali degli ex‑studenti e dei viaggiatori polacchi a P…

2020

Głębokie rozumienie istoty opozycji pomiędzy światem kultury, reprezentowanym przez miasto, oraz natury, związanej z życiem na wsi, uchwycone zostało na fresku Tycjana z 1511 roku, przedstawiającym cud Świętego Antoniego, a rozgrywającym się na styku tych dwóch przestrzeni. Tak wyrafinowane postrzeganie tego kontrastu, charakterystyczne dla renesansu włoskiego, nie miało swojego odzwierciedlenia w Polsce, gdzie miasta oraz związane z nimi funkcjonowanie kultury dworskiej nie miały równie bogatej reprezentacji. Masowy kontakt studentów polskich, przybywających w okresie renesansu zwłaszcza do Padwy, z kulturą willi weneckich miał jednak ogromny wpływ zwłaszcza na ideowe próby odzwierciedleni…

Less is future: landscape as the key element for the “milieux” renaissance in the former East Germany

2013

Twenty-two years ago, Germany was reunified as a single state. Waste land, pollution and empty buildings are some of the problems that the people had to face, along with radical and painful political reorganization. The strong collective reaction to these environmental and social disasters was heart-warming. Hundreds of coordinated and collective actions of renovation in open spaces were carried out. People were involved in each level of the design process in order to decide the best way to improve and promote the heritage and identity of their landscape. Halle, Dessau, Leipzig, and Berlin are some examples explained in this paper which demonstrate that these successful massive actions are …
