{"product_id":"power-and-religion-in-baroque-peter-rietbergen-9789004148932","title":"Power and Religion in Baroque Rome: Barberini Cultural Policies","description":"In ten chapters, partly case-studies, this monograph analyzes the (new) ways in which cultural manifestations were used to create the necessary preconditions for (religious) policy and power in the Rome of Urban VIII (1623-1644). It was the intensified interaction between culture and power-politics that created what we now call 'the Baroque'. Based on a rich variety of, hitherto largely unexplored, primary sources, the book addresses the basic issues of papal power in the post-Tridentine period. It does not study actual papal politics, but rather the cultural forms that were essential to the representation and legitimatization of the papacy's power, both secular and religious and that (co-)determined the effectiviness of papal policy. Precisely during Urban's long pontificate, the manifold, always imaginative and often unexpected uses of power representation became, in the end, not so much a series of cultural forms as, in a sense, the structure of early modern (Roman) society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Rietbergen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004148930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004148932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/23\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Peter Rietbergen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799199232255,"sku":"9789004148932","price":174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-and-religion-in-baroque-peter-rietbergen-9789004148932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
