The Universal Art of Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627-1678)
The one connecting factor in the different chapters in this book is obviously Van Hoogstraten himself: there was a single personality – although our knowledge of it may be shifting with each new historiographical focus – that linked art, literature, and scholarship during a foundational era of Dutch cultural history. Even though getting to know the ‘real’ Samuel van Hoogstraten may be b…

Veering away from the usual focus on modes of reception and spectatorship, it locates instead cinematic realism in the way films are made.

Del Lucchese grapples with the concept of monstrosity, showing how ancient philosophers explored metaphysics, ontology, th…

Bytes and Backbeats: Repurposing Music in the Digital Age
