Ethno-baroque
In post-1991 Macedonia,Barokfurniture came to represent affluence and success during a period of transition to a new market economy. This furniture marked the beginning of a larger Baroque style that influenced not only interior decorations in people's homes but also architecture and public spaces. By tracing the signifier Baroque, the book examines the reconfiguration of hierarchical relations among (ethnic) groups, genders, and countries in a transnational context. Investigating how Baroque has come to signify larger social processes and transformations in the current rebranding of the country, the book reveals the close link between aesthetics and politics, and how ethno-national conflicts are reflected in visually appealing ornamentation.

Velázquez
\"Diego Velázquez (1599-1660) was one of the towering figures of Western painting and Baroque art, a technical master renowned for his focus on realism and startling veracity. Everything he painted was treated as a portrait, from Spanish royalty and Pope Innocent X to a mortar and pestle. In this comprehensive introduction to Velázquez's life and art by Richard Verdi, the artist's major works are discussed along with most of his surviving output of approximately 110 paintings. Velázquez's greatest innovation, his unorthodox and revolutionary technique, is explored in relation to his most-celebrated contemporaries both in Spain and beyond, including Titian and Peter Paul Rubens. Velázquez concludes with a final chapter on the influence and importance of Velázquez's art on later painters from the time of his death to the art of recent times, including Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, and the Impressionists.\"-- Publisher marketing.

Reflecting on the rich, nonlinear genealogy of baroque expression,Neobaroque in the Americasenvisions the baroque as an anti-proprietary expression that brings together seemingly disparate writers and artists and contributes to the new studies in global modernity.

MARÍA ZAMBRANO Y LA MIRADA DE CERVANTES
Maria Zambrano observes the allegory of Spain in Quijano, an ambiguity that manages to be expressed with the depth of literature that is not afraid to delve into the most intimate secrets of existence. Iberian modernity, already Baroque, is born accompanied by ambiguity: literary creation reaches the novel and thus finds another ontological possibility, the possibility of being narrated and spun between poetic metaphors with no fear of the depths and contradictions of the oscillating Baroque soul. Baroque, novel, ambiguity, failure, Cervantes, Don Quijote Se descubre en el arte -otro nombre de la humana creación- el anhelo elevado a empeño de reencontrar la huella de una forma perdida ya no de saber solamente, sino de existencia. Se plantea la necesidad de desandar el camino para encontrar y observar los momentos fractura, por ello se propone una revisión de la razón moderna, una reforma del entendimiento español que contempla, para el conocimiento, la importancia fundamental de la literatura.
