A Constellation of Authority

Castilian Bishops and the Secular Church During the Reign of Alfonso VIII

Kyle C. Lincoln

“As a work of Iberian ecclesiastical history, A Constellation of Authority participates in the vigorous scholarly conversation of the last few decades. As a study of the twelfth-century Castilian episcopate, it is wholly original—its painstaking archival research has uncovered previously unknown documentary evidence.”—Janna Bianchini, author of The Queen’s Hand: Power and Authority in the Reign of Berenguela of Castile

Fragment, Image, and Absence in 1960s Japan

Ignacio A. Adriasola Muñoz

“Effectively applying psychoanalysis and other theoretical approaches, Adriasola Muñoz explores the melancholy and estrangement experienced by a diverse selection of artists and critics active in Japan in the 1960s. This book dovetails nicely with a rich and growing English-language literature on the art of Japan in the late 1950s and 1960s by authors such as Marotti, Tiempo, Tomii, Kunimoto, and Prichard.”—Jonathan Reynolds, author of Allegories of Time and Space: Japanese Identity in Photography and Architecture

Violence and the Genesis of the Anatomical Image

Rose Marie San Juan

“It is a rare thing to discover a book that is both engaging and profound. Violence and the Genesis of the Anatomical Image will change the way scholars approach early modern anatomical images, for, although the issue of violence has never been out of sight, no scholar has attempted anything like this sustained meditation on the problem. This book should be consulted by anyone interested in the early modern body, not to mention anatomy, medicine, art, and religion.”
—Christian K. Kleinbub, author of Michelangelo’s Inner Anatomies
