The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

The 1920s and 1930s saw the rise of the city symphony an experimental film form that presented the city as protagonist instead of mere decor. Combining experimental documentary and narrative practices these films were marked by a high level of abstraction reminiscent of high-modernist experiments in painting and photography. Moreover interwar city symphonies presented a highly fragmented oftentimes kaleidoscopic sense of modern life and they organized their urban-industrial images through rhythmic and associative montage that evoke musical structures. In this comprehensive volume contributors consider the full 80 film corpus from Manhatta and Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt to lesser-known cinematic explorations. | The City Symphony Phenomenon Cinema Art and Urban Modernity Between the Wars

Detente Democracy and Dictatorship

Detente Democracy and Dictatorship

The subject of Detente Democracy and Dictatorship has been with us since the breakdown of the Cold War and the termination of the Soviet system indeed if not since the origins of Bolshevism. No more vigorous critic of the uneasy co-existence of democracy and dictatorship exists than the greatest writer that the Soviet era of Russian history produced Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. This third edition is based on major addresses especially aimed at Americans delivered in 1975 in Washington D. C. and New York and again in 1978 at Harvard University in Cambridge all on the subject of detente democracy and dictatorship. It also includes Solzhenitsyn's final 2007 interview with the German publication Der Spiegel. These major statements are brilliant and forthright comment on the risks of confusing ideology with diplomacy. But more than that they summarize the Soviet debacle the theoretical underpinnings and distill Solzhenitsyn's multi-volumed masterpiece the Gulag Archipelago.

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

Children have occupied a prominent place in Yiddish literature since early modern times but children’s literature as a genre has its beginnings in the early 20th century. Its emergence reflected the desire of Jewish intellectuals to introduce modern forms of education and promote ideological agendas both in Eastern Europe and in immigrant communities elsewhere. Before the Second World War a number of publishing houses and periodicals in Europe and the Americas specialized in stories novels and poems for various age groups. Prominent authors such as Yankev Glatshteyn Der Nister Joseph Opatoshu Leyb Kvitko made original contributions to the genre while artists such as Marc Chagall El Lissitzky and Yisakhar Ber Rybak also took an active part. In the Soviet Union meanwhile children’s literature provided an opportunity to escape strong ideological pressure. Yiddish children’s literature is still being produced today both for secular and strongly Orthodox communities. This volume is a pioneering collective study not only of children’s literature but of the role played by children in literature. | Children and Yiddish Literature From Early Modernity to Post-Modernity

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Architectural drawings and models are instruments of imagination communication and historical continuity. The role of drawings and models and their ownership placement and authorship in a ubiquitous digital age deserve careful consideration. Expanding on the well-established discussion of the translation from drawings to buildings this book fills a lacuna in current scholarship questioning the significance of the lives of drawings and models after construction. Including emerging well-known and world-renowned scholars in the fields of architectural history and theory and curatorial practices the thirty-five contributions define recent research in four key areas: drawing sites/sites of knowledge construction: drawing office construction site; the afterlife of drawings and models: archiving collecting displaying and exhibiting; tools of making: architectural representations and their apparatus over time; and the ethical responsibilities of collecting and archiving: authorship ownership copyrights and rights to copy. The research covers a wide range of geographies and delves into the practices of such architects as Sir John Soane Superstudio Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc Frank Lloyd Wright Wajiro Kon Germán Samper Gnecco A+PS Mies van der Rohe and Renzo Piano. | The Routledge Companion to Architectural Drawings and Models From Translating to Archiving Collecting and Displaying

Banditry and Security Crisis in Nigeria

Banditry and Security Crisis in Nigeria

This book examines the growing phenomenon of armed banditry in Nigeria and its implication for national security.

This book explores the activities of these groups to assess the nature and significance of banditry as a complex threat to security. It does so against the backdrop of reports of increased bandit attacks on farms markets mining sites villages and rural communities and the rising tide of violent crimes in Nigeria especially the northern region. This book analyses the factors that are responsible for the emergence of banditry as a recent national and transnational security threat and outlines the contemporary dynamics of Nigeria’s banditry crisis and how it can be mitigated. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in the field of African Studies International Relations Security and Strategic Studies Political Studies Peace and Conflict Studies as well as policymakers and practitioners interested in complex security threats and their implications in Nigeria and beyond. | Banditry and Security Crisis in Nigeria

Towards a Transformation of Philosophy

Towards a Transformation of Philosophy

First Published in 1980 (English Translation) Towards a Transformation of Philosophy presents selected essays from Karl -Otto Apel’s two- volume German collection that was published in 1973 under the title Transformation der Philosophie. Karl -Otto Apel’s studies in philosophy and the social sciences can be said to have bridged the gap that had hitherto existed between the Anglo-Saxon traditions of analytical philosophy of language and pragmatism and the philosophical traditions of the European continent of phenomenology existentialism and hermeneutics. Apel points to language as the crucial dimension in the constitution of historical meaning and therefore as the historical condition for the possibility of truth. In this context he discusses the hermeneutic dimension of Wittgenstein’s philosophy and that of his followers together with the development of pragmatism and with recent trends in Chomsky’s linguistics. In arguing for the complementarity of technical and practical interests in acquiring knowledge for a critical theory of society Apel examines the preconditions for an emancipatory critique of ideology and the communication community as the predeterminate of both the social sciences and moral discourse. In all the essays Apel sets out to counter the positivistic and scientistic restrictions placed upon a satisfactory understanding of the preconditions for the possibility and validity of human knowledge. This is a must read for scholars and researchers of philosophy.

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative

Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions offers an in-depth analysis of the multiple roles that exhibition graphics perform in contemporary museums and exhibitions. Drawing on a study of exhibitions that took place at the Victoria and Albert Museum London the Museum of London and the Haus der Geschichte Bonn Piehl brings together approaches from museum studies design practice and narrative theory to examine museum exhibitions as multimodal narratives in which graphics account for one set of narrative resources. The analysis underlines the importance of aspects such as accessibility and at the same time problematises conceptualisations that focus only on the effectiveness of graphics as display device by drawing attention to the contributions that graphics make towards the content on display and to the ways in which it is experienced in the museum space. Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions argues for a critical reading of and engagement with exhibition graphic design as part of wider debates around meaning-making in museum studies and exhibition-making practice. As such the book should be essential reading for academics researchers and students from the fields of museum and design studies. Practitioners such as exhibition designers graphic designers curators and other exhibition makers should also find much to interest them in the book. | Graphic Design in Museum Exhibitions Display Identity and Narrative
