Aby M. Warburg (1866–1929) is recognized not only as one of the century’s preeminent art and Renaissance historians but also as a founder of twentieth-century methods in iconology and cultural studies in general. Warburg’s 1923 lecture, first published in German in 1988 and now available in the first complete English translation, offers at once a window on his career, a formative statement of his cultural history of modernity, and a document in the ethnography of the American Southwest. This edition includes thirty-nine photographs, many of them originally presented as slides with the speech, and a rich interpretive essay by the translator.

Описание: What happens when an old cultural institution is subjected to marketisation and individualisation? How does the institution do justice to the inner core of its traditions, whilst at the same time keeping up with the demands of its individual users, as well as the marketisation requirements coming from the state and society in general? And, how do these responses affect the way that the institution contributes to the generation of social capital? Taking the Danish Folk Church as their core example, researchers representing different academic disciplines analyse these questions in 17 chapters. The choice to use the Folk Church as the main case for evaluating how old institutions respond is in itself provocative and challenging. The book therefore opens with a discussion of why the Folk Church provides an example of a cultural institution worthy of being analysed in this way. The four main parts of the book elaborate on relevant parts of the history of the Folk Church; the nature of marketisation; of individualisation and of social capital as related to the Folk Church. The book concludes with a discussion of the effects of marketisation and individualisation on cultural institutions like the Folk Church. Cultural institutions must ask themselves what happens to What Money Cant Buy in their response to marketisation and individualisation.

Описание: GUERNSEY, CHANNEL ISLANDS, 1991 Ruth Samuels is moving to Guernsey. She feels alive again for the first time since her husband's death. Ruth recently met islander Matthew Frel and knew right away that their attraction is mutual. He is enigmatic and exciting, but there's something odd about him. She senses secrets and a disturbing inner anger barely controlled. Who is this man? What is he hiding? What is there in his past that holds him back from committing to a relationship? She guesses at abominations during his childhood under the German Occupation of the Channel Isles. Having fled the torments of Nazi Germany Ruth knows the terrible legacy of childhood trauma. When she presses Matthew for details of that time he refuses to discuss it. It's only when Nicol Rochet, a childhood friend, together with the one-time parish priest, the Abb Saint Jude, bring pertinent facts to her attention that she's able to piece together the horrifying facts about Matthew's forbidden past. The details are more dreadful than she could ever have imagined. The vile act of barbarism she unearths put even Hitler's henchmen to shame. Can she save Matthew from those appalling memories? Or will they forever consume him, and destroy both him, and any hope of their future together?

Описание: Dream of Eden is an island story, a love story, and an epic adventure both personal and historic. Set in Hawaii, Borneo and England during the late nineteenth century, it unfolds during a time of religious zeal, intellectual ferment and capitalist calculation. The exotic Hawaiian Islands offer a glimpse of Eden to the bold explorer, but for some that is only part of their allure. To the practical politician of the day, Hawaii's strategic position mid-Pacific offers a fabulous prize ripe for the taking. As nations maneuver for possession of Honolulu's Pearl Harbor, Protestant Evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics vie for dominance over the native population. Into this troubled Paradise comes an idealistic young Englishman on his first assignment as a missionary abroad. David Wilkinson is captivated by lush Hawaii - its haunting beauty, its dark, pagan beliefs, and its natives' sensual charms. The young priest encounters three remarkable women: the beautiful Hawaiian Queen Emma Kalaleonalani; an eccentric Scottish noblewoman known as Fiona Cameron; and a mysterious personage who may or may not be Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. The intrepid Miss Cameron offers a fearlessly unconventional viewpoint of the world, and her developing relationship with David soon becomes central to the story. Meanwhile, the volcanic islands of Hawaii enter a period of frightening instability, culminating in some of the most violent eruptions in human experience.Based upon carefully researched accounts of actual events, Eden introduces a diverse cast of characters, from British lords to Hawaiian fishermen, from Borneo headhunters to pirates of the South Seas. The mood is both lyrical and broadly ironic. Here are the central elements of human drama - love and passion, faith and doubt, ambition and the perpetual struggle for justice, wisdom and enlightenment. A wise, surprising, and ultimately joyful book, recounted in the knowing voice of celebrated author Sandol Stoddard, Dream of Eden is historical fiction at its best.
