Militant Aesthetics - Dr Martin Lang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Militant Aesthetics - Dr Martin Lang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In 2008 an Iraqi artist was waterboarded as performance art. In 2010 artists upturned police cars in Russia. But what exactly do we mean by militant art and aesthetics? Bringing together the philosophy of art and politics, Martin Lang provides a comprehensive examination of militant art activism: its history, its advocates and the aesthetic theory behind it. Protest art is not a new concept and yet this book argues that after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 distinctly 21st-century forms of art activism emerged. On the one hand these became militant as artists retained belief in the possibility of radical political change through art. On the other hand, this belief developed in a hostile environment, when anti-terror legislations reclassified activists and artists as terrorists. Through first-hand interviews and experiences, Militant Aesthetics sheds light on numerous international case studies of modern art activism and the different ways they can be classified as militant. Many artists and collectives, including Grupo Etcétera in Buenos Aries, are prepared to break the law and risk arrest for their art. Others like Thomas Bresolin’s Militant Training Camp utilise military uniforms in violent performances that connect with public anger, and artists such as Zthoven in the Czech Republic occupy, hack, antagonise and disrupt in increasingly militant ways. Combining these examples with the pioneering thought of Badiou, Žižek, Rancière and Mouffe, as well as up-to-date scholarship from Bishop, Léger and others, Lang investigates the instances, attributes and rules of militant art in order to introduce a new overall theory of 21st-century militant aesthetics.

International Political Theory - Anthony F. Lang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

International Political Theory - Anthony F. Lang - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This innovative text explores international relations with the tools of political theory. In so doing, it contributes to and advances the idea of international political theory.The book focuses on four key concepts – authority, rules, rights, and responsibilities – and four important topics – wealth, violence, nature and belief. In each of these areas, the book draws on key figures in political theory to explore, explain and evaluate the current global order. Chapters address such contested issues as humanitarian intervention, LGBT rights, climate change, and our collective responsibilities for alleviating global poverty. The book invites students into a conversation about international political theory, one that will help orient them in an increasingly complicated and pluralist international order.

M - Anton (university Of California Kaes - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Fritz Lang''s ''M'' (1931) is an undisputed classic of world cinema. Lang considered it his most lasting work. Peter Lorre''s extraordinary performance as the childlike misfit Hans Beckert was one of the most striking of film debuts, and it made him an international star. Lang''s vision of a city gripped with fear, haunted by surveillance and total mobillization, is still remarkably powerful today. And ''M'' resonates too in the serial-killer genre which is so prominent in contemporary cinema. ''M'' speaks to us as a timeless classic, but also as a Weimar film that has too often been isolated from its political and cultural context. In this groundbreaking book, Anton Kaes reconnects ''M''''s much-studied formal brilliance to its significance as an event in 1931 Germany, recapturing the film''s extraordinary social and symbolic energy. Interweaving close reading with cultural history, Kaes reconstitutes ''M'' as a crucial modernist artwork. In addition he analyzes Joseph Losey''s 1951 film noir remake and, in an appendix, publishes for the first time ''M''''s missing scene.

Film Fables - Jacques Ranciere - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In Film Fables Jacques Ranciere turns his critical eye to the history of modern cinema. Combining an extraordinary breadth of analysis with an attentiveness to detail born from an obvious love of cinema, Ranciere shows us new ways of looking at and interpreting film. His analysis moves effortlessly from Eisenstein''s and Murnau''s transition from theatre to film to Fritz Lang''s confrontation with television, from the classical poetics of Mann''s Westerns to Ray''s romantic poetics of the image, from Rossellini''s neo-realism to Deleuze''s philosophy of the cinema. The book also includes extended commentaries on the work of Hitchcock, Godard, Vertov and Bergman. Film Fables is essential reading for anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of the power and complexity of the cinematic form and it’s rich history.

Japanese Fashion Designers - Bonnie English - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Over the past 40 years, Japanese designers have led the way in aligning fashion with art and ideology, as well as addressing identity and social politics through dress.

It outlines their major contributions and the subsequent impact that their work has had upon the next generation of fashion and textile designers around the world. Designers discussed include: Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, Naoki Takizawa, Dai Fujiwara, Junya Watanabe, Tao Kurihara, Jun Takahashi, Yoshiki Hishinuma, Junichi Arai, Reiko Sudo & the Nuno Corporation, Makiko Minagawa, Hiroshi Matsushita, Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Bikkembergs, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Helmut Lang.

Aliya may not have inherited her family’s patrician looks, but she is prey to their legends that stretch back to the days of Timur Lang.

Amidst her growing attraction to a boy from the wrong side of the tracks, Aliya begins to believe that she is another ‘not-quite’ twin, linked to her scandalous aunt Mariam in a way that hardly bodes well… _______________ ''A funny, clever and romantic story'' - Barbara Trapido ''The stories within the stories describe Pakistani society, its peoples and its mores, better than anything that has come from the Other Side for a long time.

James Joyce and Classical Modernism - Professor Leah Culligan Flack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

James Joyce and Classical Modernism - Professor Leah Culligan Flack - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

James Joyce and Classical Modernism contends that the classical world animated Joyce’s defiant, innovative creativity and cannot be separated from what is now recognized as his modernist aesthetic. Responding to a long-standing critical paradigm that has viewed the classical world as a means of granting a coherent order, shape, and meaning to Joyce’s modernist innovations, Leah Flack explores how and why Joyce’s fiction deploys the classical as the language of the new. This study tracks Joyce’s sensitive, on-going readings of classical literature from his earliest work at the turn of the twentieth century through to the appearance of Ulysses in 1922, the watershed year of high modernist writing. In these decades, Joyce read ancient and modern literature alongside one another to develop what Flack calls his classical modernist aesthetic, which treats the classical tradition as an ally to modernist innovation. This aesthetic first comes to full fruition in Ulysses , which self-consciously deploys the classical tradition to defend stylistic experimentation as a way to resist static, paralyzing notions of the past. Analysing Joyce''s work through his career from his early essays, Flack ends by considering the rich afterlives of Joyce’s classical modernist project, with particular attention to contemporary works by Alison Bechdel and Maya Lang.

McCawley and Trethowan - The Chaos of Politics and the Integrity of Law - Volume 2 - Ian Loveland - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

McCawley and Trethowan - The Chaos of Politics and the Integrity of Law - Volume 2 - Ian Loveland - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In the second part of this two-volume study, Ian Loveland delves deeply into the immediate historical and political context of the Trethowan litigation which began in New South Wales in 1930 and reached the Privy Council two years later. The litigation centred on the efforts of a conservatively-inclined government to prevent a future Labour administration led by the then radical politician Jack Lang abolishing the upper house of the State’s legislature by entrenching the existence of the upper house through the legal device of requiring that its abolition be approved by a state-wide referendum. The book carefully examines the immediate political and legal routes of the entrenchment device fashioned by the State’s Premier Sir Thomas Bavin and his former law student, colleague and then Dean of the Sydney University law school Sir John Peden, and places the doctrinal arguments advanced in subsequent litigation in the State courts, before the High Court and finally in the Privy Council in the multiple contexts of the personal and policy based disputes which pervaded both the State and national political arenas. In its final chapter, the book draws on insights provided by the detailed study of McCawley (in volume one) and Trethowan to revisit and re-evaluate the respective positions adopted by William Wade and Ivor Jennings as to the capacity of the United Kingdom’s Parliament to introduce entrenching legislation which would be upheld by the courts.
