Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Peter Bokody examines depictions of sexual violence in religion, law, medicine, literature, politics, and history writing produced in kingdoms (Sicily and Naples) and city-republics (Florence, Siena, Lucca, Bologna, and Padua). While misogynistic endorsement characterized many of these visual discourses, some urban communities condemned rape in their propaganda against tyranny. Such representations of rape often link gender and aggression to war, abduction, sodomy, prostitution, pregnancy, and suicide. Bokody also traces how the new naturalism in painting, introduced by Giotto, increased verisimilitude, but also fostered imagery that coupled eroticism and violation. Exploring images and texts that have long been overlooked, Bokody's study provides new insights at the intersection of gender, policy, and visual culture, with evident relevance to our contemporary condition"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Victims of lust -- Medicalized misogyny -- Rape as a weapon of war -- Political allegories -- Abduction in illustrated romances -- Lucretia and the renaisance of rape. 650 0 $a Rape in art. 650 0 $a Sex crimes in art. 650 0 $a Painting, Italian $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Painting, Renaissance $z Italy $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art $x History $z Italy $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Art and society $z Italy $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Art and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815432 650 7 $a Art $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815309 650 7 $a Painting, Italian $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01050923 650 7 $a Painting, Renaissance $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051061 650 7 $a Rape in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090002 650 7 $a Sex crimes in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114304 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bokody, Peter. $t Imagery and politics of sexual violence in early Renaissance Italy $d Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2023 $z 9781009122528 $w (DLC) 2022041544 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=411E07DC0CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
