This collection of essays presents new insights into what shaped and constituted the Renaissance and early modern views of fate and fortune. It argues that these ideas were emblematic of a more fundamental argument about the self, society, and the universe and shows that their influence was more widespread, both geographically and thematically, than hitherto assumed.

A radical re-examination of 2,500 years of European art, deconstructing and demystifying its long history from ancient to present How has art evolved from the pursuit of the 'ideal' human form to a black square on a white canvas? Why is a banana duct-taped to a wall worth more on the art market than a beautiful seventeenth-century landscape? By taking art for what it actually is -- a piece of stone or wood, a sheet of paper with some lines drawn on it, a painted canvas -- this lively and accessible account shows how seemingly meaningless objects can be transformed into celebrated works of art. Breaking with conventional notions of artistic genius, Koenraad Jonckheere explores how stories and emotions give meaning to objects, and why changing historical circumstances result in such shifting opinions over time. Tracing its story from ancient times to present, A New History of Western Art reframes the evolution of European art and radically reshapes our understanding of art history.

This is the first thorough investigation of the Brummer brothers’ remarkable career as dealers in antiques, curiosities and modernism in Paris and New York over six decades (1906-1964). A dozen specialists aggregate their expertise to explore extant dealer records and museum archives, parse the wide-ranging Brummer stock, and assess how objects were sourced, marketed, labelled, restored, and displayed. The research provides insights into emerging collecting fields as they crystallised, at the crossroads between market and museum. It questions the trope of the tastemaker; the translocation of material culture, and the dealers’ prolific relationships with illustrious collectors, curators, scholars, artists, and fellow dealers.

The Three Wise Monkeys trilogy culminates with a forensic examination of South Africa's long struggle to suppress gambling, and especially lotteries. The opposition of the Calvinist churches – both Afrikaans and English-speaking – had its counterpart in the eager embrace of games of chance by the white working class on the Witwatersrand. Focusing on the career of Rufe Naylor, an Australian bookmaker, horse dealer and entrepreneur who, with the help of a defrocked Portuguese Catholic priest, ran the Lourenço Marques Lottery, The Quest for Wealth without Work shows how the efforts of church and state to control the leisure time and morals of the working class intersected with the need to ensure the flow of cheap mine labour from Mozambique. Ultimately, in the suppression of the Lourenço Marques Lottery – and in campaigns against pinball machines, dog racing and other 'social evils' – can be seen the emerging outlines of the apartheid police state.

Two opposing views of the future in the Middle Ages dominate recent historical scholarship. According to one opinion, medieval societies were expecting the near end of the world and therefore had no concept of the future. According to the other opinion, the expectation of the near end created a drive to change the world for the better and thus for innovation. Close inspection of the history of prognostication reveals the continuous attempts and multifold methods to recognize and interpret God’s will, the prodigies of nature, and the patterns of time. That proves, on the one hand, the constant human uncertainty facing the contingencies of the future. On the other hand, it demonstrates the firm believe during the Middle Ages in a future which could be shaped and even manipulated. The handbook provides the first overview of current historical research on medieval prognostication. It considers the entangled influences and transmissions between Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and non-monotheistic societies during the period from a wide range of perspectives. An international team of 63 renowned authors from about a dozen different academic disciplines contributed to this comprehensive overview.

Centraal in dit nummer van Nieuwe Tijdingen staan de evolutie en vormgeving van festiviteiten in de vroegmoderne Nederlanden. Daarbij belichten de auteurs feesten van allerlei aard, bijvoorbeeld als gevolg van de Reformatie of de Franse Revolutie. Ze onderzoeken de rol van traditie en innovatie bij feestelijk vertier, de weergave en verslaggeving van feestelijkheden in media en kunsten, de rol van materiële cultuur in festiviteiten en de rol van veranderende normen en waarden met betrekking tot feestvieren in uiteenlopende sociale milieus. Zowel elitaire festiviteiten als vormen van volksvermaak komen aan bod. Zo gaat het onder meer over vorstelijke intredes, carnavalsvieringen, feestmaaltijden, loterijen, ‘kwelspelen’ en illuminaties.

Het jaarboek HistoriANT bundelt vlot leesbare, wetenschappelijke artikelen over de rijke geschiedenis van de stad Antwerpen. Deze editie van het jaarboek maakt een historisch rendez-vous met Erasmus Schetz, een van de rijkste Antwerpse ondernemers in de zestiende eeuw en in het bijzonder zijn poging tot delokalisatie van de suikerteelt van Madeira naar de goedkopere productiegebieden aan de maagdelijke kuststreken van Brazilië. Heel anders is het verhaal van het Leikwartier in Antwerpen (Markgravelei en omgeving), tevens een aanvulling op het themadossier over Gilbert van Schoonbeke dat in het vorige jaarboek gebracht werd. Een derde bijdrage over de rijke zestiende eeuw zoomt in op de pogingen die tussen 1568 en 1574 werden ondernomen om Antwerpen in het kamp van Willem van Oranje te krijgen. Weinig gekend is de invloed van de negentiende-eeuwse Antwerpse Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten op Hollandse historieschilders na 1830. In 1940 kreeg Paul Timbal, gedelegeerd bestuurder bij de Antwerpse Diamantbank, de opdracht om een diamantvoorraad van omgerekend ca. 67 miljoen euro uit handen van de Duitse bezetter te houden. In de kronieken staan we stil bij recente evenementen zoals de herdenking van de 500ste verjaardag van de beroemde Antwerpenaar Christoffel Plantin, wiens stadstuin onder de loep wordt genomen; historische voorgangers van de COVID-19-epidemie en enkele bijzondere aanwinsten van de erfgoedbibliotheken. Het jaarboek sluit af met een overzicht van de realisaties in 2019 inzake onroerend erfgoed, monumentenzorg en archeologie.

»Der Markt« gilt gemeinhin als zeitloser und effektiver Mechanismus zum Tausch von Gütern und zur Bildung von Preisen. Dieser Band, der die Ergebnisse des von der DFG geförderten Netzwerks »Das Versprechen der Märkte« bündelt, problematisiert diese Annahme und zeigt, dass Märkte das Ergebnis historischer Praxis sind: Sie entstehen und existieren durch das Marktgeschehen selbst, das weit über die Markttransaktion hinausreicht und durch die jeweilige Gesellschaft geprägt ist. Die Beiträge machen marktbezogene Praktiken von der Frühen Neuzeit bis zum beginnenden 19. Jahrhundert sichtbar und verknüpfen sie transregional vergleichend miteinander. Ausgangspunkte der Sondierungen sind so unterschiedliche Aspekte wie die Gestaltung und Bemessung von Waren, Werbung als Medium, die Begrenzung von Gewinnen oder der Zugang zu Märkten. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
