Fashion reveals not only who we are, but whom we aspire to be. From 1775 to 1925, artists in Europe were especially attuned to the gaps between appearance and reality, participating in and often critiquing the making of the self and the image. Reading their portrayals of modern life with an eye to fashion and dress reveals a world of complex calculations and subtle signals.
Fashion in European Art explores the significance of historical dress over this period of upheaval, as well as the lived experience of dress and its representation. Drawing on visual sources that extend from paintings and photographs to fashion plates, caricatures and advertisements, the expert contributors consider how artists and their sitters engaged with the fashion and culture of their times. They explore the politics of dress, its inspirations and the reactions it provoked, as well as the many meanings of fashion in European art, revealing its importance in understanding modernity itself.

Описание: Queer Cities, Queer Culturesexamines the formation and make-up of urban subcultures and situates them against the stories we typically tell about Europe and its watershed moments in the post 1945 period. The book considers the degree to which the iconic events of 1945, 1968 and 1989 influenced the social and sexual climate of the ensuing decades, raising questions about the form and structure of the 1960s sexual revolution, and forcing us to think about how we define sexual liberalization - and where, how and on whose terms it occurs.
An international team of authors explores the role of America in shaping particular forms of subculture; the significance of changes in legal codes; differing modes of queer consumption and displays of community; the difficult fit of queer (as opposed to gay and lesbian) politics in liberal democracies; the importance of mobility and immigration in modulating queer urban life; the challenge of AIDS; and the arrival of the internet.
By exploring the queer histories of cities from Istanbul to Helsinki and Moscow to Madrid, Queer Cities, Queer Culturesmakes a significant contribution to our understanding of urban history, European history and the history of gender and sexuality.
In diesem interdisziplin?ren Sammelband wird nicht nur eine Motivgeschichte des Themas Wasser vorgelegt. Vielmehr eint die Beitr?ge der Ansatz, Wasser als ein mit vielf?ltigen kulturellen Bedeutungen aufgeladenes Ph?nomen und als Akteur zu verstehen. Alle Aufs?tze befassen sich mit der Repr?sentation der grundlegenden Eigenschaft von Wasser, n?mlich dessen materieller Wandelbarkeit. Diese zeigt sich in so faszinierenden Aspekten wie der musikalischen ‚Sprache‘ von Kunstbrunnen oder in der Mittlerfunktion von Wasser zwischen Mensch und Natur. Wasser kann auch zum Protagonisten in der Gartenarchitektur werden oder soziale und geographische Abgrenzung markieren. Nicht zuletzt kann Wasser auch als programmatischer Tr?gers eines Kunstwerks fungieren.

Описание: In contrast to traditional Enlightenment studies that focus solely on authors and ideas, Gary Kates' employs a literary lens to offer a wholly original history of the period in Europe from 1699 to 1780. Each chapter is a biography of a book which tells the story of the text from its inception through to the revolutionary era, with wider aspects of the Enlightenment era being revealed through the narrative of the book's publication and reception. Here, Kates joins new approaches to book history with more traditional intellectual history by treating authors, publishers, and readers in a balanced fashion throughout.
Using a unique database of 18th-century editions representing 5,000 titles, the book looks at the multifaceted significance of bestsellers from the time. It analyses key works by Voltaire, Adam Smith, Madame de Graffigny, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and David Hume and champions the importance of a crucial innovation of the age: the rise of the ‘erudite blockbuster’, which for the first time in European history, helped to popularize political theory among a large portion of the middling classes. Kates also highlights how, when, and why some of these books were read in the European colonies, as well as incorporating the responses of both ordinary men and women as part of the reception histories that are so integral to the volume.
Описание: Il s’agit dans cette reflexion de comprendre et de saisir les enjeux que suscite la pratique de l’humour et de l’ironie dans des situations dramatiques, deplorables voire tragiques qu’est le contexte de l’Afrique: rire pour (se) corriger, contester, sans pour autant etre agressif? Denoncer sans en avoir l’air? Est-ce une nouvelle esthetique? A travers l’analyse des ?uvres qui vont des annees 1958 a nos jours, a savoir celles de Mongo Beti, Ferdinand Oyono, et plus contemporaines comme celles de A. Mabanckou…, ce livre demontre comment le rire, a travers toutes les differentes formes qu’il peut prendre, a savoir la derision, la parodie, le sarcasme, le grotesque par le biais de l’humour et de l’ironie qui sont les manifestations apparentes, est un outil a la fois de la contestation, de dedramatisation des situations tragiques, mais aussi une esthetique d’ecriture en soi dans la representation du reel, du serieux, que ce soit au niveau social, politique ou de l’ecriture elle-meme qui joue a la fois sur la dissimulation, sur le carnavalesque, la polyphonie et le grotesque pour finir a une poetique du rire.

Описание: A century ago the Symbolists in Moscow and St. Petersburg dreamed of a fundamental transformation of life in Russia. From their reading of signs in the heavens, these poets, philosophers, and mystics sensed that tsardom was on the threshold of an apocalyptic upheaval. They were influenced by Vladimir Solovyov and Friedrich Nietzsche, but under the impact of the 1905 Revolution they later also subscribed to current radical political ideas. The eventual collision between these dreams and tsarist reality generated enormous intellectual turbulence and the need for substitutes. Not least psychoanalysis came to the rescue of these stranded dreamers. The present collection of essays is intended for readers interested in Russian literature or the early history of Eastern European offshoots of psychoanalysis.
