Sommario/riassunto |
|
Saints and Signs analyzes a corpus of hagiographies, paintings, and other materials related to four of the most prominent saints of early modern Catholicism: Ignatius of Loyola, Philip Neri, Francis Xavier, and Therese of Avila.Verbal and visual documents - produced between the end of the Council of Trent (1563) and the beginning of the pontificate of Urban VIII (1623) - are placed in their historical context and analyzed through semiotics - the discipline that studies signification and communication - in order to answer the following questions: How did these four saints become signs of the renewal of Catholic spirituality after the Reformation? How did their verbal and visual representations promote new Catholic models of religious conversion? |
