Book Synopsis Patrons and Philistines by : Pushpa Sundar
Download or read book Patrons and Philistines written by Pushpa Sundar and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1995 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When through design and circumstance the British found themselves in possession of large parts of India, they had little idea of its arts and civilization, let alone any obvious interest in doing anything to promote or preserve Indian culture. Yet, by the time the British flag was lowered, the state had accepted some responsibility for the arts, which was extensive in some respects. Though India does not, as yet, have a comprehensive arts policy, there is an accepted and serious state commitment to the arts, the result of an evolution of ideas and actions over a period of time. The book traces this evolution from 1773, with the establishment of British rule in Bengal, to 1947, when power was handed over to an indigenous government. What motivated a non-indigenous government to intervene in the arts and for what aim? What and who influenced the state and shaped its policies? What were these policies and how were the choices made? How were they implemented? What was the effect on the arts? What legacy did the British government in India leave for its successor? These are some of the questions the book attempts to answer.

This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed the remarkable development of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in Asia, from the global popularity of the Japanese games and anime industries, to Korea’s film and pop music successes. While CCIs in these Asian cultural powerhouses aspire to become key players in the global cultural economy, Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Thailand are eager to make a strong mark in the region’s cultural landscape. As the first handbook on CCIs in Asia, this book provides readers with a contextualized understanding of the conditions and operation of Asian CCIs. Both internationalising and de-Westernising our knowledge of CCIs, it offers a comprehensive contribution to the field from academics, practitioners and activists alike. Covering 12 different societies in Asia from Japan and China to Thailand, Indonesia and India, the themes include: State policy in shaping CCIs Cultural production inside and outside of institutional frameworks Circulation of CCIs products and consumer culture Cultural activism and independent culture Cultural heritage as an industry. Presenting a detailed set of case studies, this book will be an essential companion for researchers and students in the field of cultural policy, cultural and creative industries, media and cultural studies, and Asian studies in general.
Book Synopsis The Patron: A Life of Salman Schocken, 1877-1959 by : Anthony David
Download or read book The Patron: A Life of Salman Schocken, 1877-1959 written by Anthony David and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rags-to-riches story of one of Europe's great entrepreneurs and a founding father of modern Jewish secular culture The name "Schocken"--now primarily associated with the prestigious publishing house--was once emblazoned over a vast commercial empire; across Europe, it stood for quality consumer goods and uplifting culture made available for working people. A sweeping, colorful saga, The Patron is the first biography of Salman Schocken, founder of a large department store chain and Jewish philanthropic titan. We follow Schocken's transformation from an impoverished migrant selling textiles door-to-door to a captain of German industry, at once media magnate, collector, talent scout, and patron. The merchandizing millionaire then harnessed his fortune to a vision: to disseminate Jewish secular culture to the Jewish masses, in much the same way as he marketed well-designed coffeepots to the working class. His task, as he saw it, was not to spread culture but to create it, through publishing houses, newspapers, and the patronage of such influential modern thinkers such as Martin Buber and Thomas Mann. But as the Nazi regime closed in on Schocken's empire, the resilient tycoon transferred his energies and passions to Palestine and New York. In The Patron historian Anthony David fills in a missing piece of twentieth-century history, the towering life of a self-made man who, with courage and tenacity, helped fashion a people's national and cultural renaissance.
Book Synopsis David and His Theologian by : Walter Brueggemann
Download or read book David and His Theologian written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Walter Brueggemann's career, he has repeatedly found his way back to the David and royal traditions. From some of his earliest articles and essays to monographs, commentaries, and sermons, he has explored this rich field in literary, social, and theological depth. As he has said, "My preoccupation with David rests on the awareness that David occupies a central position in the imagination of ancient Israel and in the rendering of 'faith and history' by that community. As the genealogies locate David, he stands mid-point between the rigors of Mosaic faith and the destruction of Jerusalem; as a consequence he becomes, in the artistry of Israel, the carrier of all the ambivalence Israel knew about guarantees and risks in the world YHWH governs." This volume brings together some of Brueggemann's key essays on the David traditions, as well as their interrelationships with traditions in the book of Genesis. --from the Foreword .embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }

Book Synopsis Staging the Artist by : Claire Moran
Download or read book Staging the Artist written by Claire Moran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restoring the role of theatrical performance as both subject and trope in the aesthetics of self-representation, Staging the Artist questions how nineteenth-century French and Belgian artists self-consciously fashioned their identities through their art and writings. This emphasis on performance allows for a new understanding of the processes of self-fashioning which underlie self-representation in word and image. Claire Moran offers new interpretations of works by major nineteenth-century figures such as Paul Gauguin and Edgar Degas, and addresses the neglected topic of the function of theatre in the development of modern visual art. Incarnating Baudelaire's metaphor of the artist as an actor ever-conscious of his role, the artists discussed "Courbet, Ensor and Van Gogh, among others" employed theatre as both a thematic source and formal inspiration in their painting, writings and social behaviour. Moran argues that what renders this visual, literary and social performance modern is its self-consciousness, which in turn serves as a model with which to challenge pictorial convention. This book suggests that tracing modern performance and artistic identity to the nineteenth century provides a greater understanding not only of the significance of theatre in the development of modern art, but also highlights the self-conscious staging inherent to modern artistic identity.
