English | ISBN: 3506795430 | 2023 | 346 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The essays featured in this book cover a broad spectrum of topics related to individual identity strategies and art collecting in the late modern era. They give a pan-European perspective on collecting in its various facets, encompassing the history of museums, exhibition policy, art market history, history of taste shaping and provenance research. By showing how collecting mirrored the social problems of modernity, this book indirectly addresses issues such as the sociocultural role of ethnic minorities, the question of women’s emancipation, social exclusion versus inclusion, colonialism and the politicisation of museums. These matters, analysed in the context of private collections, reveal the complexity and relevance of the cultural processes underpinning many social issues that remain the subject of reflection to this day.

Free Download Chantel M. Lavoie, "Collecting Women: Poetry and Lives, 1700-1780"
English | 2009 | pages: 215 | ISBN: 0838757499, 1611483417 | PDF | 1,5 mb
This book addresses the place of early women writers in collections in order to contextualize the ways in which two different kinds of printed miscellanies not yet thoroughly considered in tandem did indeed complement one another by inventing and generating a set of expectations about the woman writer in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. By examining women in collections-poetic miscellanies and anthologies as well as biographical collections-the author offers a number of claims about the relationship between writings by women and those about women in an era that witnessed the great age of collecting in England. Chantel Lavoie lectures on eighteenth-century literature at the University of Toronto.

Author: Maura C. Flannery
Narrator: Coleen Marlo
Collections of preserved plant specimens, known as herbaria, have existed for nearly five centuries. These pressed and labeled plants have been essential resources for scientists, allowing them to describe and differentiate species and to document and research plant changes and biodiversity over time-including changes related to climate. Maura C. Flannery tells the history of herbaria, from the earliest collections belonging to such advocates of the technique as sixteenth-century botanist Luca Ghini, to the collections of poets, politicians, and painters, and to the digitization of these precious specimens today.
