• Sommario/riassunto: Die Malerin Soshana (1927-2015) erarbeitete sich schon früh einen klingenden Namen, in mehr als 100 Ausstellungen zeigte sie Ihre Arbeiten. Aufgrund ihrer jüdischen Abstammung musste sie aber schon als Kind ihre Heimat verlassen. Ihre künstlerische Ausbildung erhielt sie in London und New York, später auch in Wien. Eine ihrer großen Leidenschaften war das Reisen. Sie bereiste die Hot-Spots der Moderne, befreundete sich mit Pablo Picasso in Paris, der sie auch malte. Ihre Tagebücher eröffnen private Einblicke in unbekannte Welten großer Künstler, Beobachtungen anderer Frauenleben oder jüdischer Gemeinden verschiedenster Länder. Eine packende Lektüre persönlicher Ansichten, gesellschaftlicher Beobachtungen und faszinierender Begegnungen, pointiert erzählt von einer emanzipierten Künstlerin.; The painter Soshana (1927-2015) staged more than 100 exhibitions of her work, and succeeded early on in making a name for herself. However, owing to her Jewish origins, she sadly had to leave her homeland when she was still a child. She obtained her artistic training in London and New York, and later in Vienna. One of her great passions was travelling. She travelled to the hot-spots of the Moderne movement and befriended Pablo Picasso in Paris, who painted her. Her diaries reveal private insights into the unknown world of famous artists, observations on the lives of other women and Jewish communities in various countries. A gripping read of personal views, social observations and fascinating encounters, astutely recounted by an emancipated artist.

• Sommario/riassunto: A King Travels examines the scripting and performance of festivals in Spain between 1327 and 1620, offering an unprecedented look at the different types of festivals that were held in Iberia during this crucial period of European history. Bridging the gap between the medieval and early modern eras, Teofilo Ruiz focuses on the travels and festivities of Philip II, exploring the complex relationship between power and ceremony, and offering a vibrant portrait of Spain's cultural and political life. Ruiz covers a range of festival categories: carnival, royal entries, tournaments, calendrical and noncalendrical celebrations, autos de fe, and Corpus Christi processions. He probes the ritual meanings of these events, paying special attention to the use of colors and symbols, and to the power relations articulated through these festive displays. Ruiz argues that the fluid and at times subversive character of medieval festivals gave way to highly formalized and hierarchical events reflecting a broader shift in how power was articulated in late medieval and early modern Spain. Yet Ruiz contends that these festivals, while they sought to buttress authority and instruct different social orders about hierarchies of power, also served as sites of contestation, dialogue, and resistance. A King Travels sheds new light on Iberian festive traditions and their unique role in the centralizing state in early modern Castile.
