We've translated a trio of crèche figurines-traditionally created for a Christian Nativity scene-into eye-catching resin adornments for the home. The originals, each Italian and crafted in the second half of the 18th century, include a model of the infant Jesus by Giuseppe Sanmartino (Italian, 1720-1793), as well as the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph, both attributed to Salvatore di Franco (active 18th century). The practice of restaging religious events with figurines reached the height of its complexity in 18th-century Naples, and the Museum's group of Neapolitan crèche is one of the finest examples of the art form.

The 18th-century Neapolitan crèche at the Art Institute of Chicago, which contains over 200 figures arranged in a panorama of street life, represents the pinnacle of a rich artistic heritage. This luxurious catalogue is the first to study the crèche in the context of art and music history. Essays explore the Neapolitan crèche tradition and examine the design of Chicago’s example with reference to other important crèches in Europe and the United States. Entries on individual figures identify the characters and types they represent, as well as their social and historical meaning and religious significance. Other entries address groups of figures, animals, and cultural themes present in the crèche. Together the essays and entries highlight the astonishing realism and potent symbolism of these figures, which range from heavenly angels and the Holy Family around the manger to street vendors and revelers feasting, drinking, and dancing in a tavern.

This beautiful book reveals the worldwide appeal and custom of the crèche and the diversity of creative expression displayed in this art form. Crèche artists featured include a first-generation American firefighter devoted to preserving the Spanish Colonial santos tradition; a woman who served in the Dutch resistance during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands; a Jesuit who worked with Cambodian landmine victims and who carved a nativity with Khmer features; and a carver from New Zealand whose work is based on Maori traditions.

This book showcases a wide variety of Nativity sets that display multi-cultural artistic interpretations of the true meaning of Christmas. Artisans from more than forty countries on five continents are represented, each with beautiful expressions of the greatest story ever told, often with photographs from the country of origin to accompany the artwork. Whether sculpted in clay, carved from wood, painted, woven, or cast, these Créches from around the world are sure to enhance holiday celebrations and illustrate the universality of the Christmas message.

Crèches, haltes-garderies, aujourd’hui multi-accueil... Mais d’où nous viennent les lieux d’accueil de la petite enfance ? Quand, comment, pourquoi, sont nés les premiers établissements de garde ? Ce sont des hommes qui, au milieu du XIXe, entrevoient leur nécessité pour répondre à la problématique sociale construite autour de l’éducation du jeune enfant des classes dites indigentes. Le 14 novembre 1844 est créée la première crèche, crèche de Chaillot, à Paris, sous l’impulsion de Firmin Marbeau. Crèche, par analogie avec la crèche de Bethléem. Voilà qui ouvre bien des indices sur le curriculum initial des crèches. A partir de la constitution d’un corpus, l’ouvrage reconstruit un temps de l’histoire des crèches, de 1844 à 1870, période pouvant être définie comme celle de leur institutionnalisation. Celle-ci révèle un projet philanthropique qui se voudra aussi projet d’éducation populaire. Projet tout à la fois normatif et audacieux, au sein duquel une certaine représentation de l’enfant et le rapport social aux parents peuvent s’interpréter. Une utopie. Qui n’a jamais fait l’unanimité et a parfois déchaîné les passions. Un pari sur le petit enfant pauvre pour réformer les comportements parentaux et les mœurs populaires, et refonder le pacte social et politique dans un contexte socialement et politiquement agité. Dès lors, la tension fondatrice à l’origine des crèches émerge – promouvoir le travail des femmes en même temps que l’idéal de la mère éducatrice au foyer. Héritage qui taraude cette institution – et les politiques afférentes – encore aujourd’hui. Appréhender l’histoire, pour ouvrir une autre voie ?

"Researching and writing this book often felt like the literary equivalent of a solo crossing of Antarctica." Lynley Hood A City Possessed is a strong, compelling and shocking story about one of New Zealand's most high-profile criminal cases - a story of child abuse allegations, gender politics and the law. In detailing the events and debates leading up to and surrounding the Christchurch Civic Creche case, Lynley Hood shows how such a case could happen, and why. Her penetrating analysis of the social and legal processes by which the conviction of Peter Ellis was obtained, and has been repeatedly upheld, has far-reaching implications - not only for our justice system, but for the way in which we see ourselves. Ms Hood is clearly interested in the truth, and in careful research, rather than holding a view and sticking with it through thick and thin. This is an important book - clearly written, well-researched, assiduously referenced, and a compelling read. Dr Alison Jones, Director of the Institute for Research on Gender, University of Auckland Hood says that when it comes to the Ellis case, and the manner in which those accused of sexual abuse of children are dealt with generally, grave injustices are and have been perpetrated. Much in this case went haywire. The result is a book that will elicit strong responses; outrage and bewilderment among them. Brian Turner, poet and publishing consultant This book is a work of scholarship of the highest academic standard. The interpretation is a very important one, and one that is clearly supported by the evidence. Professor Mark Henaghan, Dean of Law, University of Otago.

Santoun (santon, en français), c'est le nom que l'ordonne aux petits personnages d'argile qui figurent dans les décors de nos crèches qui font référence à la fois a pays et aux aïeux. Je crois fermement que ces santons sont les aïeux, ceux qui nous ont précédés sur ce coin de terre que nos crèches s'attachent à faire revivre chaque année à Noël. Un santon, ce n'est ni une oeuvre d'art, ni un objet artisanal ordinaire, c'est un être unique... Format : 22x22cm; illustrations tout en couleurs; broché.
