    The production of sense is a central field of action of cultural and political practice. The articles examine how, in different contexts, the construction of sense and its outcome as a cultural practice

  • Titian's Pastoral Scene

    Open AccessRuth MellinkoffARTICLERenaissance Quarterly1998References: 1

    Titian's drawing called Pastoral Scene or Landscape with a Sleeping Nude and Animals is no ordinary landscape, its unordinariness underscored by an unusual combination of elements, which I maintain reveals a new and unique version of Lot and His Daughters. I contend that the large, naked woman in the right foreground is one of Lot's daughters; the two small figures resting or sleeping beneath the trees are Lot and his other daughter; the thatched…

I now take up the second question posed at the beginning of …

  • Cain's monstrous progeny in Beowulf

    Open AccessRuth MellinkoffARTICLEAnglo-Saxon England1979References: 8

    One of the most distinctive features of Beowulf is the presentation of Grendel and his mother as members of Cain's monstrous progeny. What knowledge of a race (or races) of giants and monsters descended from Cain, and of their survival after the Flood, is the poet likely to have had? I take up the first part of this question in this article and the second part in an article to be published later in Anglo-Saxon England

    Individualized portraiture is rarely found in early medieval art. Personalities or groups were more often identified by context or inscription or some significant motif. To those who knew the biblical stories and legends, individuals portrayed in scenes such as Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, or Moses and the brazen serpent, or the Last Supper, could be easily identified. Iconographical motifs not only served to identify particular prophets, apostl…
