Download or read book Modernism written by Ahmet Ersoy and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-10 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty-one texts illustrate the evolution of modernism in Eastern Europe. Essays, articles, poems, or excerpts from longer works offer new opportunities of possible comparisons of the respective national cultures. The volume focuses on the literary and scientific attempts at squaring the circle of individual and collective identities. Often outspokenly critical of the romantic episteme, these texts reflect a more sophisticated and critical stance than in the preceding periods. At the same time, rather than representing a complete rupture, they often continue and confirm the romantic identity narratives, albeit with "other means". The volume also presents the ways national minorities sought to legitimize their existence with reference to their cultural and institutional peculiarity.

Book Synopsis Transports of Delight by : Joanna Kirkpatrick
Download or read book Transports of Delight written by Joanna Kirkpatrick and published by . This book was released on 2003-04 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining over 1000 brilliantly-colored photographs, videos, music, and text, this CD-ROM documents a distinctive folk art of urban Bangladesh. The owners of rickshas (conventionally known as "rickshaws" in English) personalize their vehicles with elaborate paintings that incorporate geometric motifs, drawings of animals, mythic and religious themes, and pictures of movie stars. Ricksha art is an expression of the fondest desires in men's hearts-for wealth, sex, power, one's village home, religious blessings, and consumer goods. Joanna Kirkpatrick has photographed rickshas for more than twenty years, cataloguing styles and motifs. She uses her study of rickshas as a window on Bangladesh culture and religion, examining the questions posed by pictorial representation in a Muslim society. Four video clips depict rides through crowded city streets and rural landscapes, as well as an interview with ricksha artists. Recordings of popular music evoke the rhythms of everyday life. Transports of Delight provides scholars and students with important primary source material and a rich ethnographic analysis. General audiences interested in South Asian folk art and culture and aficionados of pedicabs around the world will find this a truly delightful and informative journey. Includes glossary, map, and bibliography. Requirements: [specs to come].

Book Synopsis Plundered Empire by : Michael Greenhalgh
Download or read book Plundered Empire written by Michael Greenhalgh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on the sometimes Greek but largely Roman survivals many travellers set out to see and perhaps possess throughout the immense Ottoman Empire, on what were eastward and southward extensions of the Grand Tour. Europeans were curious about the Empire, Christianity’s great rival for centuries, and plenty of information on its antiquities was available, offered here via lengthy quotations. Most accounts of the history of collecting and museums concentrate on the European end. Plundered Empire details how and where antiquities were sought, uncovered, bartered, paid for or stolen, and any tribulations in getting them home. The book provides evidence for the continuing debate about the ethics of museum collections, with 19th century international competition the spur to spectacular acquisitions.
Book Synopsis History and Heritage by : Simon Ditchfield
Download or read book History and Heritage written by Simon Ditchfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just what is it that we want from the past? History offers us true stories about the past; heritage sells or provides us with the past we appear to desire. The dividing line between history and heritage is, however, far from clear. This collection of papers addresses the division between history and heritage by looking at the ways in which we make use of the past, the way we consume our yesterdays. Looking at a wide variety of fields, including architectural history, museums, films, novels and politics, the authors examine the ways in which the past is invoked in contemporary culture, and question the politics of drawing upon 'history' in present-day practices. In topics ranging from Braveheart to Princess Diana, the Piltdown Man to the National History Curriculum, war memorials to stately homes, "History and Heritage" explores the presence of the past in our lives, and asks, how, and to what end, are we using the idea of the past. Who is consuming the past and why?

Book Synopsis These Violent Delights by : Chloe Gong
Download or read book These Violent Delights written by Chloe Gong and published by Margaret K. McElderry Books. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Instant New York Times Bestseller! A BuzzFeed Best Young Adult Book of 2020 Perfect for fans of The Last Magician and Serpent & Dove, this heart-stopping debut is an imaginative Romeo and Juliet retelling set in 1920s Shanghai, with rival gangs and a monster in the depths of the Huangpu River. The year is 1926, and Shanghai hums to the tune of debauchery. A blood feud between two gangs runs the streets red, leaving the city helpless in the grip of chaos. At the heart of it all is eighteen-year-old Juliette Cai, a former flapper who has returned to assume her role as the proud heir of the Scarlet Gang—a network of criminals far above the law. Their only rivals in power are the White Flowers, who have fought the Scarlets for generations. And behind every move is their heir, Roma Montagov, Juliette’s first love…and first betrayal. But when gangsters on both sides show signs of instability culminating in clawing their own throats out, the people start to whisper. Of a contagion, a madness. Of a monster in the shadows. As the deaths stack up, Juliette and Roma must set their guns—and grudges—aside and work together, for if they can’t stop this mayhem, then there will be no city left for either to rule.
Book Synopsis Making Histories in Transport Museums by : Colin Divall
Download or read book Making Histories in Transport Museums written by Colin Divall and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in 30 years to take transport museums seriously as vehicles for the making of public histories. Drawing upon many years' experience of visiting and working in transport museums around the world, the authors argue that the sector's historical roots are more complex than is usually thought. Written from a multidisciplinary perspective but firmly rooted in the practice of making public histories, this book brings the study of transport museums firmly into the mainstream of academic and professional debate.

Book Synopsis Watching the World by : Jeff Jenkins
Download or read book Watching the World written by Jeff Jenkins and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day came when I could stand it no longer! Whenever I arrived anywhere (usually with a burst of “You’re not gonna believe this…”) the people around me knew that they would be in for yet another tale of woe about something that had just happened to me during my journey. Some would say, “I don't know why you don't write this all down.” My answer was always that no one would believe me… but, then again, perhaps someone out there just might. So here it is, written down. This book has been written by me for all of you. From footie fans to comical commuters, from dodgy dog-walkers to hapless (or should that be helpless) hotel guests, from what not to do at pelican crossings to tucking into a takeaway on a Friday night - it’s all here. Now, I don't know if you are going to believe what you are about to read or not, but I can assure you that some, most or indeed all the events related in this book have happened (or will happen) to you at some point… and I wish you the very best of luck in trying not to laugh when they do!
