Slaying the tyrant, 1536-2011 -- section 2. Wings for my courage -- section 3. Gender, erudition and the Italian nation.On January 6, 1537, Lorenzino de' Medici murdered Alessandro de' Medici, the duke of Florence. This episode is significant in literature and drama, in Florentine history, and in the history of republican thought, because Lorenzino, a classical scholar, fashioned himself after Brutus as a republican tyrant-slayer. Wings for Our Courage offers an epistemological critique of this republican politics, its invisible oppressions, and its power by reorganizing the meaning of Lorenzino's assassination around issues of gender, the body, and political subjectivity. Stephanie H. Jed brings into brilliant conversation figures including the Venetian nun and political theorist Archangela Tarabotti, the French feminist writer Hortense Allart, and others in a study that closely examines the material bases-manuscripts, letters, books, archives, and bodies-of writing as generators of social relations that organize and conserve knowledge in particular political arrangements. In her highly original study Jed reorganizes republicanism in history, providing a new theoretical framework for understanding the work of the scholar and the social structures of archives, libraries, and erudition in which she is inscribed.Flashpoints (Berkeley, Calif.) ;6.Italian literature16th centuryHistory and criticismPolitics and literatureItalyHistory16th centuryRepublicanism in literatureRepublicanismItalyFlorenceHistory16th centuryRepublicanismHistoryElectronic books.Italian literatureHistory and criticism.Politics and literatureHistoryRepublicanism in literature.RepublicanismHistoryRepublicanismHistory.850.9/004Jed Stephanie H1953-1052294MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456382303321Wings for our courage2483447UNINA
