Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann: Modern Art and Modern Germany is the first English-language examination of this German impressionist painter whose long life and career spanned nine decades. Through a close reading of key paintings and by a discussion of his many cultural networks across Germany and throughout Europe this study by Marion Deshmukh illuminates Liebermann’s importance as a pioneer of German modernism. Critics and admirers alike saw his art as representing aesthetic European modernism at its best. His subjects included dispassionate depictions of the rural Dutch countryside his colorful garden at the Wannsee and his many portraits of Germany’s cultural political and military elites. Liebermann was the largest collector of French Impressionism in Germany - and his cosmopolitan outlook and his art created strong antipathies towards both by political and cultural conservatives throughout his life. | Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Demystifying Modern Slavery

Demystifying Modern Slavery

Who are the perpetrators of modern slavery? Why do they exploit others? What might be done to stop exploitation recurring? These are the questions answered in this book. Reporting on the first primary study of modern slavery offenders the book depicts the findings of in-depth interviews with people accused of and convicted for committing modern slavery offences. The different forms that modern slavery takes are explained chapter by chapter: organized crime people smuggling labour exploitation domestic servitude sham marriage the trafficking of adults for sexual exploitation and child sex trafficking. Using case studies to illuminate the perspectives of those deemed perpetrators we show that few modern slavery offenders conform to stereotypes of people traffickers. Through an interpretive analysis of offenders’ life stories we reveal the points in the past and present where interventions could have prevented victims from becoming trapped in exploitation. We show that while national governments and international bodies often appear resolute in their efforts to tackle modern slavery and people trafficking they have also obscured their own roles in compounding the plights of those at the sharp ends of globalization. In racializing the actions of sex traffickers grooming gangs and organized criminals the modern slavery agenda has mystified the roles market dynamics the absence of workers’ rights and immigration controls play in generating vulnerabilities to exploitation. This book will be of interest to a wide range of students policymakers and practitioners concerned with modern slavery human trafficking border control and immigration globalization and inequality as well as the more disciplinefocused criminological audiences concerned with why people commit crimes what should be done about them and the often paradoxical consequences of social control across borders. Given the book’s strong focus on narrative psychosocial and social network methodologies it will also appeal to audiences across the social sciences concerned with applying these novel approaches to difficult to reach populations. | Demystifying Modern Slavery

Modern Policing

Modern Policing

Originally published in 1981 Modern Policing provided an opportunity for members of the Police Staff College Bramshill to air their views about different aspects of modern British policing. Contributions were made by members of the directing staff – professional and academic – and by students. This book was addressed primarily to policemen themselves but also had wider appeal to those interested in policing. The editors saw within police constabularies a rapidly developing concern for management information by senior police personnel for material to better prepare officers for their difficult task by training departments for relevant analyses to help improve qualifications by policemen themselves. This was one of the first books to include views from inside the police rather than those from the outside the service.

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Since its first appearance in Germany in 1911 Jews and Modern Capitalism has provoked vehement criticism. As Samuel Z. Klausner emphasizes the lasting value of Sombart's work rests not in his results-most of which have long since been disproved-but in his point of departure. Openly acknowledging his debt to Max Weber Sombart set out to prove the double thesis of the Jewish foundation of capitalism and the capitalist foundation of Judaism. Klausner placing Sombart's work in its historical and societal context examines the weaknesses and strengths of Jews and Modern Capitalism. | The Jews and Modern Capitalism

Critiquing the Modern in Architecture

Written over four decades Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical core of modern architecture. Author Jaimini Mehta moves architectural modernism from its primarily Eurocentric definition interrogating the subject from the perspective on a non-western thought-world. Mehta groups his essays under three key themes: Rethinking Modernity explores the ideological underpinnings of the modernity/modernism binary; The Idea of Architecture looks at a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist discourse can be critically evaluated; and On Praxis looks at three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the modern in architecture this book is critical reading for architectural theorists and scholars of modernism.

By confronting musical literary and visual sources with historically situated analyses the book shows how erotic life and sensibilities were encoded in musical works.

Augustine and Modern Law

Augustine and Modern Law

St. Augustine and Roman law are the two bridges from Athens and Jerusalem to the world of modern law. Augustine's almost eerily modern political realism was based upon his deep appreciation of human evil arising from his insights into the human personality the product of his reflections on his own life and the history of his times. These insights have traveled well through the ages and are mirrored in the pages of Aquinas Luther and Calvin Reinhold Niebuhr and Hannah Arendt. The articles in this volume describe the life and world of Augustine and the ways in which he conceived both justice and law. They also discuss the little recognized Augustinian contributions to the field of modern hermeneutics - the discipline which informs the art of legal interpretation. Finally they include Augustine's valuable discussion of church/state relations the law of just wars and proper role and limits of coercion and the procreative dimensions of marriage. The volume also includes an extremely useful definitive bibliography of Augustine and the law and will leave readers with an increased appreciation of the contributions which Augustine has made to the history of jurisprudence. No one can read Augustine and these articles on his view of the law without taking away a new view of the law itself. | Augustine and Modern Law

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Demonstrating the pervasive presence of God in modern Hebrew literature this book explores the qualities that twentieth-century Hebrew writers attributed to the divine and examines their functions against the simplistic dichotomy between religious and secular literature. The volume follows both chronological and thematic paths offering a panoramic and multilayered analysis of the various strategies in which modern Hebrew writers from the turn of the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century pursued in their attempt to represent the divine in the face of metaphysical theological and representational challenges. Modern Hebrew literature emerged during the nineteenth century as part of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement which attempted to break from the traditional modes of Jewish intellectual and social life. The Hebrew literature that arose in this period embraced the rebellious nature of the Haskalah and is commonly characterized as secular in nature defying Orthodoxy and rejecting God. Nevertheless this volume shows that modern Hebrew literature relied on traditional narratological and poetic norms in its attempt to represent God. Despite its self-declared secularity it engaged deeply with traditional problems such as the nature of God divine presence and theodicy. Examining these radical changes this volume is a key text for scholars and students of modern Hebrew literature Jewish studies and the intersection of religion and literature. | The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature
