Б. Ніжинська в Києві у 1919–1921 рр. стала своєрідним транслятором ідей «Російських сезонів» С. Дягілева з їх акцентом на художньому оформленні та оновленні балетної лексики. У діяльності «Школи рухів» Б. Ніжинська змогла розпочати реалізацію власних теоретико-методичних установок щодо нової балетної мови, нового типу танцівника, викладення яких практично завершено саме в Києві. Творчість Б. Ніжинської можна кваліфікувати як опозиційну академічному балету з його усталеними формами. Експерименти в «Школі рухів» та Центростудії стали своєрідною апробацією балетмейстерських прийомів, які згодом реалізовані у «Російському балеті» С. Дягілева та подальшій балетмейстерській творчості, що набула всесвітнього визнання. Ключові слова: Броніслава Ніжинська, «Школа рухів», танцювальна студія, Київ, культурно-мистецьке життя. Nizhinsky in Kiev in 1919–1921 became a kind of translator of the ideas of «Russian Seasons» by S. Diaghilev with their emphasis on the decoration and updating of ballet vocabulary. In the activities of the «School of Movements» B. Nizhinskaya was able to start implementing her own theoretical and methodological guidelines for a new ballet language, a new type of dancer, the exposition of which was practically completed in Kiev. The creativity of B. Nizhinsky can be qualified as opposed to academic ballet with its well-established forms. The experiments at the School of Movements and the Central Studio became a kind of approbation of the choreography techniques, which were subsequently implemented in the Russian Ballet by S. Diaghilev and further choreography, which received worldwide recognition. Key words: Bronislava Nizhinsky, «School of Movements», dance studio, Kiev, cultural and artistic life

The Baroque in Ibero-American Architecture and Urbanism, in parts of the Americas formerly comprising the Spanish and Portuguese empires, has been traditionally studied as a question of adherence to or deviation from a Counter-Reformation style promoted primarily by ecclesiastical institutions. This article expands upon what is meant by “Baroque” in the architecture and urbanism of the Iberian empires in the Americas. Through the analysis of urban plans, images of the city, architectural interiors and exteriors, physical urban spaces, and other forms of material culture, this article argues that Ibero-American architecture and urbanism in the age of the Baroque belonged to a phenomenon of ordering and thereby creating the “New World” as ideologically constituted colonial spaces that reified social and political norms. Furthermore, human subjects actively negotiated the spaces created by architecture and the city, making the American Baroque also part of a process of negotiating order and thereby producing American spaces.

This chapter examines the rising mid-twentieth-century attention to the Baroque as a challenge to “French Classicism.” The concept of the literary Baroque faced strong opposition in France, where it undermined a critical tradition that isolated the “Age of Louis XIV” from European-wide currents. After World War II, the transnational Baroque provided a model for a more cosmopolitan view of the seventeenth century. Its integration into French literary and cultural history, however, reverses established paradigms of cultural evolution and periodization according to which Renaissance Classicism is followed by Counter-Reformation Baroque. This development also raises questions concerning the intellectual and ideological underpinning of the Baroque, including its relation to monarchy and Cartesian modernity. Authors examined include foundational figures of comparative literature (Erich Auerbach, E. R. Curtius, Leo Spitzer, René Wellek), art critics and historians (Eugenio d’Ors, Arnold Hauser, Victor-L. Tapié), and pioneers of the French Baroque (Jean Rousset, Marcel Raymond).

Through Venetian Inquisition trials relating to Protestantism, witchcraft, and Judaism, this article illuminates the centrality of food and eating practices to religious identity construction. The Holy Office used food to assert its model of post-Tridentine piety and the boundaries between Catholics and the non-Catholic populations in the city. These trial records concurrently act as access points to the experiences and beliefs—to the lived religion—of ordinary people living and working in Venice from 1560 to 1640. The article therefore offers new insight into the workings and impacts of the Counter-Reformation.
