Each diorama contains an effigy of the nun, a prie-Dieu, devotional objects such as a crucifix, handiwork, and artifacts to foster study and contemplation. This book examines the lives of the brides of Christ as depicted in these dioramas, proposing that the material objects found in the chambers trace the contours of the collective and individual identities of the nuns who created these cells. Viewed as a type of memoir, the cells furnish the sisters a stage upon which to rehearse the meaning of their lives. The dioramas create a tension between the private and public presentations of the self, between verisimilitude and self-fashioning, and between reality and representation. The book contextualizes the miniature cells within the larger discourse of gender, identity, self-representation, monastic devotion, and the power wielded by the aesthetics of scale. 650 0 $a Nuns in art. 650 0 $a Diorama $z France $x History. 610 20 $a Association tresors de ferveur (Chalon-sur-Saone, France) $x Art collections. 650 6 $a Religieuses dans l'art. $0 (CaQQLa)000293121 650 6 $a Dioramas $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z France $0 (CaQQLa)201-0452039 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 610 27 $a Association tresors de ferveur (Chalon-sur-Saone, France) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01623323 650 7 $a Art museums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815631 650 7 $a Diorama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894097 650 7 $a Nuns in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01041406 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Performing the Past ; $v volume 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240517011045.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D438DDDA141211EF8F56A7732FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
