Book Description
Aquesta lliçó posa en relleu la importància històrica del renaixement del dret romà a l’Occident medieval, el qual, juntament amb el dret canònic i l’obra dels juristes bolonyesos, es va difondre per tot Europa amb el nom de ius commune. Molt més que un fenomen estrictament jurídic, va significar un veritable canvi cultural l’ona expansiva del qual es va fer sentir en tots els àmbits de la societat medieval. This lesson highlights the historical importance of the revival of Roman law in the medieval West. Along with canon law and the work of the Bolognese jurists, it spread throughout Europe under the name of ius commune. Much more than a strictly legal phenomenon, it brought about a true cultural change, which affected all areas of medieval society.

Book Description
En el decurs de la història, l’escriptura ha permès la gestió del poder, l’administració dels béns, la fixació de la memòria i la comunicació entre les persones.

Book Description
The Joan Miro Foundation presents "Her Memory," an exhibition by Kiki Smith organised in collaboration with the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld and the Kunsthalle Nrnberg, containing recent work by this US artist. It could in fact be called an exhibition in progress, since it has been amplified in each venue anterior to the exhibition presented in the Foundation, which is the last location of this tour. Kiki Smith was born in Nrnberg in 1954 to an artistic family: her mother an opera singer and her father Minimalist artist Tony Smith. Her work is characterised by a constant reflection on human existence and on life and death; and her drawings of the human body, which are both traumatic and poetic. She reached international recognition at the end of the 1980s. In 2006-2007, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and the Whitney Museum in New York organised a touring retrospective exhibition, "Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980-2005," which signalled the end of a period.

Book Description
The Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography is the first comprehensive encyclopedia of world photography up to the beginning of the twentieth century. It sets out to be the standard, definitive reference work on the subject for years to come. Its coverage is global – an important ‘first’ in that authorities from all over the world have contributed their expertise and scholarship towards making this a truly comprehensive publication. The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena. Coverage includes all the key people, processes, equipment, movements, styles, debates and groupings which helped photography develop from being ‘a solution in search of a problem’ when first invented, to the essential communication tool, creative medium, and recorder of everyday life which it had become by the dawn of the twentieth century. The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.
