Description: Beyond Scylla and Charybdis : European Courts and Court Residences Outside Habsburg and Valois/Bourbon Territories 1, Hardcover by Johannsen, Birgitte Boggild (EDT); Ottenheym, Konrad (EDT), ISBN 8776023222, ISBN-13 9788776023225, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This oversized and well-illustrated volume considers how autonomous courts in Europe who wanted to remain out of the reach of both Habsburg and France responded to their overwhelming cultural influences--as “neutral” neighbors, allies, or enemies. It describes architecture’s role in softening tensions, and examines how diplomatic vocabulary and political claims can be expressed in architecture by the symbolic use of space. Aiming to contribute to a more nuanced analysis of European residential architecture, th notes that various case studies point toward a comparable attitude among those independent from the Hapsburg and French spheres of influence. Twenty-three papers are divided into four parts: sovereignty’s space and its rituals: staging diplomatic interaction; beyond the formal spaces; the powers of the past: displaying lineage, kinship, and tradition; from invention to construction: building the residence.
