Download or read book Russian Folk Art written by Alison Hilton and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russian Folk Art surveys the traditions, styles, and functions of the many objects made by Russian peasant artists and artisans. Placing the objects within the settings in which folk artists worked -- the peasant household, the village, and the local market -- Alison Hilton discusses the principal media artists employed and the items they produced, from dippers and goblets to clothing and window frames. Emphasizing the balance between time-honored forms and techniques and the creativity of individual artists, the book explores how images and designs helped to form a Russian esthetic identity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Abundantly illustrated with examples from Russian museums, Russian Folk Art is a treasure for anyone interested in Russian culture.

Book Synopsis Scholars' Guide to Humanities and Social Sciences in the Soviet Union and the Baltic States by : Tigran Martirosyan
Download or read book Scholars' Guide to Humanities and Social Sciences in the Soviet Union and the Baltic States written by Tigran Martirosyan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the first edition of the "Guide" was published, the research institutions of the academies of sciences of the USSR and the republics have undergone several, sometimes radical, reorganizations and reaffiliations. This guide to academy institutions supplies names, addresses, and historical, research, and organizational profiles for each institution, with summary information on staffing, current projects, special facilities, and libraries. The end of the Cold War has brought with it many changes of attitude and policy in the political arena; however, nowhere has change been so emotionally charged as in the area of politically-based emigration. Refugee policy is the driving force behind many of today's headlines, influencing both foreign and domestic policy. In Desperate Crossings, authors Norman L. and Naomi Flink Zucker chronicle and analyze the phenomenon of mass escape that began with the Haitians, but exploded into the American consciousness in the spring of 1980 with the Mariel boatlift and the subsequent mass exodus from Central America, and was most recently manifested in the Haitian and Cuban exoduses of 1994. In a compelling and carefully documented narrative, they identify the troika of interests - foreign policy, domestic pressures, and costs - that have controlled and determined the American response to refugees since before the Second World War, continuing until today. Desperate Crossings concludes by proposing a comprehensive and politically palatable approach to future refugee flows, both in our hemisphere and for the world community-at-large - including Europe and Asia. The authors suggest how, by changing the course of its refugee policies and programs, the United States can better respond to both the needs of refugees and the demands of its citizens.
Book Synopsis The Soviet Photograph, 1924-1937 by : Margarita Tupitsyn
Download or read book The Soviet Photograph, 1924-1937 written by Margarita Tupitsyn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tupitsyn challenges the view that the Soviet avant-garde peaked in the 1920s and was subsequently forced to conform with Bolshevik politics. Instead she asserts that photography during this period represented the last "great experiment" in the search for the most effective ways to connect art, radical politics, and the masses. Investigating the means by which the new visual tools for disseminating revolutionary messages were adapted to the needs of Stalinist propaganda, Tupitsyn relates major examples of single-frame photography and photomontage to such events as the implementation of the New Economic Policy, Lenin's death, and Stalin's first and second Five-Year Plans, and to mounting censorship of the arts. She also establishes a link between the writings of critics and the development of photography and photomontage at this time. The book presents previously unpublished material from Klutsis's letters, Rodchenko's public lectures, Lissitzky's late writings on the mass media, and Kulagina's personal diaries, as well as many previously unknown photographs.

Download or read book Art Without Borders written by Victoria Averbukh and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art is the great connector, as proven here in the stories these seven Eastern European female artists share about their work, their immigration experiences, and their acclimation into American culture. Victoria Averbukh, of Russian and Jewish descent, journalist by profession, knows firsthand what these women have faced, having come to the United States and raised American children while successfully keeping their Russian heritage alive. These seven artists all work in different mediums. Their work could not be more different; however, their shared experiences create a common thread, weaving their Eastern European roots into their American lifestyles. Their work on a whole is vibrant, colorful, and passionate. Victoria has chosen a group of women whose stories are as fascinating and powerful as the work they create. She has chosen well. Each of them makes the world a brighter, more beautiful place, and for that, we all must stand up and applaud! Nina Seigenfeld Velazquez, visual artist and curator, New York

Book Synopsis Kyrgyzstan beyond "Democracy Island" and "Failing State" by : Marlene Laruelle
Download or read book Kyrgyzstan beyond "Democracy Island" and "Failing State" written by Marlene Laruelle and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kyrgyzstan is probably the best known of any central Asian country, the one that has elicited the most academic publications, reports by NGOs or advocacy groups, and op-eds in the media. The country opened up massively to Western influence through development aid for civil society and for economic reforms, faced two revolutions in 2005 and 2010, and experienced bloody interethnic conflict in 2010. Kyrgyzstan is therefore commonly studied as a twin case: that of having been, for more than two decades, both an “island of democracy” in Central Asia—and the only country of the region to have made the transition to a parliamentary regime—and the archetypical example of a “failing state,” one marked by endemic corruption, criminalization of the state apparatus, and collapse of public services. This volume goes beyond these two clichés and provides a research-based and unideological narrative on the country. It identifies political dynamics, their powerbrokers, and the role of international organizations; investigates the profound social transformations of both the rural and the urban worlds; and examines the broad feeling, by local actors, that Kyrgyzstan’s fragile state identity should be consolidated. This book gives the floor to the new generation of scholars whose long-term vernacular-language field research made it possible to provide new interpretative prisms for the complex evolution of Kyrgyzstan.
Book Synopsis Negotiating Well-being in Central Asia by : David W. Montgomery
Download or read book Negotiating Well-being in Central Asia written by David W. Montgomery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much scholarship of any region focuses on the perceived problems that hold back a population. Central Asia is no exception, as it is a region with political, economic, and environmental problems that seem to keep Central Asians from a "better" future. Alongside all the struggles of life, however, are relationships of meaning and wellness that contribute to a "life worth living." Recognizing the struggles of everyday life, contributors to this book explore how people navigate relationships to find meaning, how elders attempt to re-establish morality, and how development workers pursue new futures. Such futures centre around the role of family, friends, and meaningful employment in yielding contentment; and the influence of Islam, ethnicity, and hospitality on community. The first regional collection to take well-being as a frame of analysis, the contributors show how visions, spaces, and cosmologies of well-being inform everyday life in Central Asia. This volume will appeal not only to those interested in Central Asia, but more broadly to anyone concerned with how taking well-being into account better captures the complex realities of life in any region. This book was published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey.
Book Synopsis From Realism to the Silver Age by : Margaret Samu
Download or read book From Realism to the Silver Age written by Margaret Samu and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of thirteen essays presents rigorous new research by western and Russian scholars on Russian art of the nienteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Over More than three decades after the publication of Elizabeth Valkenier's pioneering monograph, Russian Realist Art, this impressive collection showcases the latest methodology and subjects of inquiry, expanding the parameters of what has become an area of enormous intellectual and popular appeal. Major artists including Ilia Repin, Valentin Serov, and Wassily Kandinsky are considered afresh, as are the Peredvizhnik and Mir iskusstva movements and the Abramtsevo community. The book also breaks new ground to embrace subjects such as Russian graphic satire and children's book illustration, as well as stimulating aspects of patronage and display. Collectively, the essays include a range of approaches, from close textual readings to institutional critique. They also develop major themes inspired by Valkenier's work, among them: the emergence and evolution of cultural institutions, the development of aesthetic discourse and artistic terminology, debates between the Academy of Arts and its challengers, art criticism and the Russian press, and the resonance of various forms of nationalism within the art world. These and other questions engage multiple disciplines—those of art history, Slavic Russian studies, and cultural history, among others—and promise to fuel a vibrant and ascendant field.
Book Synopsis Textiles as National Heritage: Identities, Politics and Material Culture by : Gabriele Mentges
Download or read book Textiles as National Heritage: Identities, Politics and Material Culture written by Gabriele Mentges and published by Waxmann Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The edited volume discusses the role of textile heritage in relation to the dynamics of nation building, cultural identity, politics, economy and the globalization of markets. It was sparked by a research project investigating the role of textiles, textile design and contemporary fashion in the post-Soviet societies of Central Asia and also includes perspectives on similar developments in Algeria and Peru in order to question dichotomous narrations of modernity relations between textile cultures and heritage building, cultural property, and the concept of cultural heritage. Thus, this book intends to stimulate the ongoing debate about textile culture as national heritage or as means of nation branding.
