Book Synopsis Religion and the Great Exhibition of 1851 by : Geoffrey Cantor
Download or read book Religion and the Great Exhibition of 1851 written by Geoffrey Cantor and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-02-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Exhibition of 1851 is routinely portrayed as a manifestly secular event which was confined to celebrating the success of science, technology, and manufacturing in the mid-Victorian age. Geoffrey Cantor presents an innovative reappraisal of the Exhibition, demonstrating that it was widely understood by contemporaries to possess a religious dimension and that it generated controversy among religious groups. Prince Albert bestowed legitimacy on the Exhibition by proclaiming it to be a display of divine providence whilst others interpreted it as a sign of the coming Apocalypse. With anti-Catholic feeling running high following the recent 'papal aggression', many Protestants roundly condemned those exhibits associated with Catholicism and some even denounced the Exhibition as a Papist plot. Catholics, for their part, criticized the Exhibition as a further example of religious repression. Several evangelical religious organisations energetically rose to the occasion, considering the Exhibition to be a divinely ordained opportunity to make converts, especially among 'heathens' and foreigners. Jews generally welcomed the Exhibition, as did Unitarians, Quakers, Congregationalists, and a wide spectrum of Anglicans - but all for different reasons. Cantor explores this diversity of perception through contemporary sermons, and, most importantly, the highly differentiated religious press. Taken all together these religious responses to the Exhibition shed fresh light on a crucial mid-century event.
Book Synopsis London und die Weltausstellung 1851 by : Stephanie Guillen Niubo
Download or read book London und die Weltausstellung 1851 written by Stephanie Guillen Niubo and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Ethnologie / Volkskunde, Note: 1,3, Universität Augsburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Mensch-Natur-Technik – Eine neue Welt entsteht“. Unter diesem Motto präsentierte sich die Weltausstellung zum ersten Mal auf deutschem Boden in Hannover. Die Expo2000 stellte sich als Medienspektakel erster Güte vor, mit über 180 teilnehmenden Nationen. Die Idee einer Weltausstellung war jedoch nicht neu. Vielmehr lagen zwischen der Expo2000 und der ersten Weltausstellung in London 18 weitere Ausstellungen und fast 150 Jahre. Ebenso staunend wie die Besucher vor 6 Jahren durch das Gelände in Hannover gestreift sind und die Exponate bewundert haben, liefen auch 1851 die Besucher der Great Exhibition durch den Crystal Palace. Doch wie sah die Hauptstadt des British Empire, London, unter der Regentschaft Königin Victorias aus? Wie gestalteten sich die Lebensbedingungen der einzelnen sozialen Schichten? Wie wurde die Idee einer Weltausstellung überhaupt geboren? Dies alles sind Fragen, die ich mir im Rahmen dieser Arbeit stelle. Ich werde zudem, neben den historischen Hintergründen über das viktorianische London, auch die organisatorischen Hürden beleuchten, die bis zur Eröffnung der Weltausstellung von 1851 aufgetreten sind. Ebenso werde ich die Ausstellung selbst schildern und die Neuerungen die sie mit sich gebracht hat. Mein Hauptaugenmerk soll jedoch auf der Frage liegen, ob die Great Exhibition London architektonisch und/oder sozial geprägt hat. Gab es Veränderungen für das Leben in der Metropole, die es ohne die Weltausstellung vielleicht nicht gegeben hätte? Hat die Weltausstellung London einer Stadt der Industriemoderne näher gebracht?
Book Synopsis Britain, the Empire, and the World at the Great Exhibition of 1851 by : Jeffrey A. Auerbach
Download or read book Britain, the Empire, and the World at the Great Exhibition of 1851 written by Jeffrey A. Auerbach and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2008 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays discusses the significance of colonial and foreign participation at the Great Exhibition in 1851, including the exhibits, publications, officials, and visitors, before, during, and after the event in London's Crystal Palace. These essays consider the ways that the Exhibition connected London, England and many parts of the world, suggesting strong imperial, international and global connections and meanings. In doing so, the contributors consider the importance of the event for England and the participating colonies and nations, as well as the ways by which that participation affected their relationship to Britain and how the British saw their place in the world. Unlike other publications, this one emphasizes both nationalism and internationalism, domestic and foreign issues.

Book Synopsis Revolutionary Spring by : Christopher Clark
Download or read book Revolutionary Spring written by Christopher Clark and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice • From the bestselling author of The Sleepwalkers comes an epic history of the 1848 revolutions that swept Europe, and the charismatic figures who propelled them forward “Refreshingly original . . . Familiar characters are given vibrancy and previously unknown players emerge from the shadows.”—The Times (UK) A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: New Yorker, The Economist, Financial Times As history, the uprisings of 1848 have long been overshadowed by the French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian revolutions of the early twentieth century. And yet in 1848 nearly all of Europe was aflame with conflict. Parallel political tumults spread like brush fire across the entire continent, leading to significant changes that continue to shape our world today. These battles for the future were fought with one eye kept squarely on the past: The men and women of 1848 saw the urgent challenges of their world as shaped profoundly by the past, and saw themselves as inheritors of a revolutionary tradition. Celebrated Cambridge historian Christopher Clark describes 1848 as “the particle collision chamber at the center of the European nineteenth century,” a moment when political movements and ideas—from socialism and democratic radicalism to liberalism, nationalism, corporatism, and conservatism—were tested and transformed. The insurgents asked questions that sound modern to our ears: What happens when demands for political or economic liberty conflict with demands for social rights? How do we reconcile representative and direct forms of democracy? How is capitalism connected to social inequality? The revolutions of 1848 were short-lived, but their impact on public life and political thought throughout Europe and beyond has been profound. Meticulously researched, elegantly written, and filled with a cast of charismatic figures, including the social theorist Alexis de Tocqueville, the writer George Sand, and the troubled priest Félicité de Lamennais, who struggled to reconcile his faith with politics, Revolutionary Spring offers a new understanding of 1848 that suggests chilling parallels to our present moment. “Looking back at the revolutions from the end of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, it is impossible not to be struck by the resonances,” Clark writes. “If a revolution is coming for us, it may look something like 1848.”
Book Synopsis Material Theories by : Elena Chestnova
Download or read book Material Theories written by Elena Chestnova and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material Theories takes a radically new approach to well-established thinking on nineteenth-century architecture and design by investigating Gottfried Semper’s classic ideas about dressing, metamorphosis of material, and cultural development, culminating in his two-volume publication Style. This book demonstrates how Semper’s theories crystallised among his encounters with material things of the late 1840s and early 1850s. It examines several discursive frameworks and phenomena which shaped the attitude to artefacts in Europe in the mid-nineteenth century, and which were specifically pertinent to Semper’s evolution: archaeology and antiquarianism, the domestic interior, print media, collections, and the embodied relationship between the designer and their work. For the first time, this book examines the construction of a design theory not only as an intellectual endeavour but also as a process of confrontation with material things. It employs recent approaches to material culture, in particular Thing Theory, in order to show that Semper’s artefact references constituted his ideas, rather than simply giving impetus to them. It will be an important investigation for academics and researchers interested in interior design history, as well as scholars of material culture and history of design theory.
Book Synopsis Palace of the People by : Jan Piggott
Download or read book Palace of the People written by Jan Piggott and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built for the Great Exhibition of 1851, the Crystal Palace originally graced London's Hyde Park with Joseph Paxton's remarkable geometric design and groundbreaking use of glass elements, prefiguring the modern movement in architecture. After the exhibition a group of bankers, railway directors, and men of influence moved the structure to a new site in south London, rebuilt it to an even grander scale, and set about its promotion as a "palace for the multitude." Here were exhibitions, concerts, and spectaculars to fill a splendid day out for Londoners of all classes and interests. Filled with plaster casts of great art treasures, life-sized models of dinosaurs, waterworks, and gardens, the Crystal Palace became a center of both education and entertainment from the Victorian era through its destruction by fire in1936.

Book Synopsis Empires of the Imagination by : Holger Hoock
Download or read book Empires of the Imagination written by Holger Hoock and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-07-09 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the mid-18th and mid-19th centuries, Britain evolved from a substantial international power yet relative artistic backwater into a global superpower and a leading cultural force in Europe. In this original and wide-ranging book, Hoock illuminates the manifold ways in which the culture of power and the power of culture were interwoven in this period of dramatic change. Britons invested artistic and imaginative effort to come to terms with the loss of the American colonies; to sustain the generation-long fight against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France; and to assert and legitimate their growing empire in India. Demonstrating how Britain fought international culture wars over prize antiquities from the Mediterranean and Near East, the book explores how Britons appropriated ancient cultures from the Mediterranean, the Near East, and India, and casts a fresh eye on iconic objects such as the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Marbles.
Book Synopsis European Cities in the Modern Era, 1850-1914 by : Friedrich Lenger
Download or read book European Cities in the Modern Era, 1850-1914 written by Friedrich Lenger and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In European Cities in the Modern Era, 1850-1914 Friedrich Lenger analyses the demographic and economic preconditions of European urbanization, compares the extent to which Europe’s cities were characterized by heterogeneity with respect to the social, national and religious composition of its population and asks in which way differences resulting from this heterogeneity were resolved either peacefully or violently. Using this general perspective and extending the scope by including Eastern and Southern Europe the dominant view of Europe’s prewar cities as islands of modernity is challenged and the ubiquity of urban violence established as a central analytical problem.

Book Synopsis "Exhibiting Outside the Academy, Salon and Biennial, 1775-1999 " by : Andrew Graciano
Download or read book "Exhibiting Outside the Academy, Salon and Biennial, 1775-1999 " written by Andrew Graciano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, there has been increasing scholarly interest in the history of museums, academies and major exhibitions. There has been, however, little to no sustained interest in the histories of alternative exhibitions (single artwork, solo artist, artist-mounted, entrepreneurial, privately funded, ephemeral, etc.) with the notable exception of those publications that deal with situations involving major artists or those who would become so - for example J.L. David?s exhibition of Intervention of the Sabine Women (1799) and The First Impressionist Exhibition of 1874 - despite the fact that these sorts of exhibitions and critical scholarship about them have become commonplace (and no less important) in the contemporary art world. The present volume uses and contextualizes eleven case studies to advance some overarching themes and commonalities among alternative exhibitions in the long modern period from the late-eighteenth to the late-twentieth centuries and beyond. These include the issue of control in the interrelation and elision of the roles of artist and curator, and the relationship of such alternative exhibitions to the dominant modes, structures of display and cultural ideology.
Book Synopsis Decentering Musical Modernity by : Tobias Janz
Download or read book Decentering Musical Modernity written by Tobias Janz and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection investigates the concept of modernity in music and its multiple interpretations in Europe and East Asia. Through contributions by both European and East Asian musicologists it discusses how a decentered understanding of musical modernity could be matched on multiple historiographical perspectives while being attentive to the specificities of local music and their narratives in East Asia and Europe. The essays connect local, global and transnational history with sociological theories of modernity and modernization, making the volume an important contribution to overcoming the Eurocentric dichotomy between western music and world music within the field of historical musicology.
Book Synopsis Expanding Nationalisms at World's Fairs by : David Raizman
Download or read book Expanding Nationalisms at World's Fairs written by David Raizman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding Nationalisms at World’s Fairs: Identity, Diversity, and Exchange, 1851–1915 introduces the subject of international exhibitions to art and design historians and a wider audience as a resource for understanding the broad and varied political meanings of design during a period of rapid industrialization, developing nationalism, imperialism, expanding trade and the emergence of a consumer society. Its chapters, written by both established and emerging scholars, are global in scope, and demonstrate specific networks of communication and exchange among designers, manufacturers, markets and nations on the modern world stage from the second half of the nineteenth century into the beginning of the twentieth. Within the overarching theme of nationalism and internationalism as revealed at world’s fairs, the book’s essays will engage a more complex understanding of ideas of competition and community in an age of emergent industrial capitalism, and will investigate the nuances, contradictions and marginalized voices that lie beneath the surface of unity, progress, and global expansion.
