Social Movements and the Law - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Social Movements and the Law - - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Black Lives Matter and #MeToo are two of the most prominent twenty-first-century social movements in the United States. On the ground and on social media, more people have taken an active stance in support of either or both movements than almost any others in the country's history. Social Movements and the Law brings together the voices of twelve scholars and public intellectuals to explore how Black Lives Matter and #MeToo unfolded—separately and together—and how they enrich, inform, and complicate each other. Structured in dialogues and punctuated with informative text boxes, illustrations, and discussion questions, this accessible guide to an increasingly influential area of the law centers rich intersectional analysis of both movements and prompts readers to undertake further reflection and conversation. At a time of heightened public attention to the broader implications of human social behavior and interaction, this book shows rather than tells how people with different perspectives can engage one another with open minds and generosity of spirit.

Accents as Well as Broad Effects - Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Accents as Well as Broad Effects - Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Mariana Griswold Van Rensselaer (1851-1934) is highly regarded among architectural historians for her 1888 biography of the nineteenth-century architect Henry Hobson Richardson. Less well known are her writings on architecture, decorative art, gardening, and landscape design, works that provide a rare view of cities and rural environments in turn-of-the-century America. Now David Gebhard brings Van Rensselaer's significant writings together in one volume, including a chapter from the 1925 edition of Art Out-of-Doors: Hints on Good Taste in Gardening. An established critic in environmental and literary circles, Van Rensselaer wrote for the general public in such journals as the Century Magazine and for a specialized audience of landscape architects in Garden and Forest. She was a long-time contributor to The American Architect and Building News, the first architectural journal in the United States. She is an engaging and accessible writer, and her articles on Frederick Law Olmsted and the Boston Public Library won great praise. Although the only woman in a field that was male-dominated at the time, Van Rensselaer was, curiously enough, opposed to women's suffrage. David Gebhard provides an excellent introduction to this unusual woman and to her place in American architectural criticism. Van Rensselaer's writings are still of interest today, not only for her broad environmental approach, but also for her ability to relate abstract concepts to examples of harmonious design. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1996.

Machado De Assis - Helen Caldwell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Machado De Assis - Helen Caldwell - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Machado de Assis is among the most original creative minds in Brazil's rich, four-century-long literary tradition. Caldwell's critical and biographical study explores Machado's purpose, meaning, and artistic method in each of his nine novels, published between 1872 and 1908. She traces the ideas and recurrent themes, and identifies his affinities with other authors. In tracing Machado's experimentation with narrative techniques, Caldwell reveals the increasingly subtle use he made of point of view, sometimes indirect or reflected, sometimes multiple and "nested" like Chinese boxes. Caldwell shows the increasing sureness with which he individualized his characters, and how, in advance of his time, he developed action, not by realistic detail, but by the boldest use of allusion and symbol. Each novel is shown to be an artistic venture, and not in any sense a regurgitation from a sick soul as some critics have argued. IN searching out the unity of his novels, Caldwell explores the other aspects of Machado's intellectual life--as poet,journalist, playwright, conversationalist, and academician. Of particular interest is her attention to his shift away from the social criticism of his early novels into the labyrinth of individual psychology in the last five--all of which rank among the world literature. But this perceptive account never loses sight of the one element present in every piece of Machado's fiction, in eery one of his personages; that is, superlative comedy, in its whole range: wit, irony, satire, parody, burlesque, humor. Altogether, Caldwell reveals to us a writer, in essence a poet, who is still the altus prosator of Brazilian letters. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Ajanta - Sheila L. Weiner - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Ajanta - Sheila L. Weiner - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

The Ajanta caves in Maharashtra, India, have been a subject of considerable fascination since their discovery by British officers in 1819. These thirty-one rock-cut caves, located along a dramatic ravine above the Waghora River, are known for their intricate Buddhist art spanning several centuries. The caves include monastic dwellings (viharas) and prayer halls (caitya halls), some elaborately decorated with murals and sculptures. As these caves were carved out of the rock rather than being naturally occurring formations, they required immense effort and coordination to construct. Despite the number assigned to each cave by archaeologists, the order of their excavation remains uncertain, and many of them are left incomplete. This unfinished state, combined with stylistic diversity within individual caves, suggests the artists might have worked across different caves at varying times, possibly following the natural light throughout the day to guide their progress. Ajanta is distinctive in the history of Indian art because it uniquely combines painting, sculpture, and architecture to showcase Buddhist art evolution from the early Hinayana aniconic tradition through to the Mahayana phase, where Buddha images and Bodhisattvas appear prominently. The artistic themes in Ajanta revolve around narrative portrayals and worship-focused iconography, with shrine figures embodying a massive, spiritual weightiness, in contrast to the more graceful or dwarfish depictions of demigods and figures in the Jataka tales. This study explores the origins of this iconographic duality at Ajanta, examining how the artistic and religious traditions that shaped it developed internally and in relation to other sites, illuminating how the evolution of Buddhism itself is mirrored in its art and monuments. Divided into three main parts, the study analyzes historical, architectural, and stylistic progressions that influenced Ajanta's art. The first section delves into historical contexts relevant to Buddhist development in the area, while the second investigates the architectural evolution of caitya halls and viharas and the emergence of the Buddha image. The third section focuses on the stylistic progression of the narrative art at Ajanta, tracking the evolution of both the Buddha image and the surrounding decorative forms. Through synthesizing historical, paleographic, and iconographic evidence, the study aims to provide a cohesive understanding of Buddhist art’s evolution, specifically at Ajanta, over several centuries. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology.
