Era Medieval Age
Era Medieval Age
Era Medieval Age Era Mediaval Age is a new line of dice games from Eggertspiel and the spiritual successor to Roll Through the Ages . In Era Medieval Age , players roll dice representing the four classes of medieval society: peasants, clergy, nobles, and burghers in an attempt to build the most prosperous medieval city. Era Medieval Age is a “roll-and-build” game: your dice rolls give you resources including food, wood, stone, and trade goods that you'll use to build walls, keeps, farms, and other structures using beautiful three dimensional sculpted pieces. When the game is over, each player will have their own, unique model of a city - which will be different each time you play. Players compete for buildings but also interact via disasters (including brigands, disease, famine, and scorched earth) and extortion where rival nobles shake each other down for resources. The dice rolling is simultaneous, so play moves along quickly, with typical games taking about 45 minutes. It works with…

Productomschrijving

This ground-breaking book brings theoretical perspectives from twenty-first century media, film, and cultural studies to medieval hagiography. Medieval Saints and Modern Screens stakes the claim for a provocative new methodological intervention: consideration of hagiography as media. More precisely, hagiography is most productively understood as cinematic media. Medieval mystical episodes are made intelligible to modern audiences through reference to the filmic - the language, form, and lived experience of cinema. Similarly, reference to the realm of the mystical affords a means to express the disconcerting physical and emotional effects of watching cinema. Moreover, cinematic spectatorship affords, at times, a (more or less) secular experience of visionary transcendence: an 'agape-ic encounter'. The medieval saint's visions of God are but one pole of a spectrum of visual experience which extends into our present multi-media moment. We too conjure godly visions: on our smartphones, on the silver screen, and on our TVs and laptops. This book places contemporary pop-culture media - such as blockbuster movie The Dark Knight, Kim Kardashian West's social media feeds, and the outputs of online role-players in Second Life - in dialogue with a corpus of thirteenth-century Latin biographies, 'Holy Women of Liège'. In these texts, holy women see God, and see God often. Their experiences fundamentally orient their life, and offer the women new routes to knowledge, agency, and belonging. For the holy visionaries of Liège, as with us modern 'seers', visions are physically intimate, ideologically overloaded spaces. Through theoretically informed close readings, Medieval Saints and Modern Screens reveals the interconnection of decidedly 'old' media - medieval textualities - and artefacts of our 'new media' ecology, which all serve as spaces in which altogether human concerns are brought before the contemporary culture's eyes.
