Historical Fictions: Edward Lamson Henry`s Paintings Of Past And Present

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAmerican genre painter Edward Lamson Henry (1841-1919) was born in Charleston, South Carolina. He studied in Philadelphia before traveling to Paris, where he trained with Gleyre and Courbet. One of the most prolific and popular artists ofthe late nineteenth century, he was elected to the National Academy of Design, New York, in 1869. Henry was widely appreciated as an artful storyteller who meticulously and lovingly documented places and events, particularly those associated with early America, the Civil War, and the dawn of railroad travel, rendering them with much detail. His portrayals of colonial and early American themes and incidents of rural life display a quaint humor and an appreciation of human nature. At the same time, his depictions of contemporary society convey his era?s fascination with the past. Less well known today than other important nineteenth-century American painters, Henry is introduced to a broader audience in this book, which explores, in… [detailed...]

Alois Riegl
Historical Grammar of the Visual Arts

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe work of Alois Riegl (1858-1905) has been highly influential in art history of the modern age. Riegl, the most important member of the so-called Vienna School, developed a refined technique of visual or formal analysis that departed from the iconological method, which emphasized decoding motifs through recourse to texts. Riegl also pioneered understanding of the changing role of the viewer, the significance of non-high art objects (or what would now be called visual or material culture), and theories of art and art history, including his much-debated neologism Kunstwollen (the will of art). His major works include Foundations for a History of Ornament , Late Roman Art Industry , and The Group Portraiture of Holland . Riegl`s Historical Grammar of the Visual Arts , which brings together the diverse threads of his thought, is now available to an English-language audience, in a masterful translation by Jacqueline E. Jung. In one of the earliest… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionHow do we know what notes a composer intended in a given piece?-how those notes should be played and sung?-the nature of musical life in Bach`s Leipzig, Schubert`s Vienna?-how music related to literature and other arts and social currentsin different times and places?-what attitudes musicians and music lovers had toward the music that they heard and made (including in the bourgeois parlor)? We know all this from primary sources: musical manuscripts and prints, opera libretti, composers`letters, reviews in newspapers and magazines, archival data, contemporary pedagogical writings, essays on aesthetics, and much else. Some of these categories of sources have, for over a century, served as the bedrock of music history and musicology. Others have begun to be examined only in recent years. Furthermore, musicologists-including biographers of famous composers-now explore these various kinds of sources in a variety of ways, some of them richly traditional and others exciting… [detailed...]

Historical Perspectives on Contemporary East Asia

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In these original essays, distinguished scholars of modern East Asia distill from long years of research interpretive accounts of late nineteenth- and twentieth-century China, Japan, and Korea. Warren I. Cohen, Mary Backus Rankin, David L. Howell, CarterEckert, Sheldon Garon, Ernest P. Young, William C. Kirby, R. Keith Schoppa, Andrew Gordon, Merle Goldman, and Andrew J. Nathan all describe particular features of the modern experience of East Asian countries. At the same time, they address some common themes. One of these themes is the impact of the West on China, Japan, and Korea and the different ways in which each of these countries resisted Western imperialism while trying to adapt their traditional cultures to the West. Each also sought to integrate itself into a global economic and diplomatic system. Another overarching theme that these essays stress is the role of nationalism as a powerful motivating force in these countries` modern development. New students of Asian affairs as… [detailed...]

F. Ankersmit
Historical Representation

2002 y.
Publisher: Stanford University Press
Description: This book fully recognizes the aestheticism inherent in historical writing while acknowledging its claim to satisfy the demands of rational and scientific inquiry. Focusing on the notion of representation and on the necessity of distinguishing between representation and description, it argues that the traditional semantic apparatus of meaning, truth, and reference that we use for description must be redefined if we are to understand properly the nature of historical writing. The author shows that historical representation is essentially aesthetic, though its adequacy can be discussed rationally. He defines the criteria for representational adequacy, and examines the relationship between these criteria and value judgments. He also investigates the historicist conception of historical writing and the notions of identity and narrativity. This investigation takes place against the backdrop of the ideas of four of the most influential contemporary historical theorists: Erich… [detailed...]

Histories of Maize: Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Prehistory, Linguistics, Biogeography, Domestication, and Evolution of Maize

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Maize has been described as a primary catalyst to complex sociocultural development in the Americas. State of the art research on maize chronology, molecular biology, and stable carbon isotope research on ancient human diets have provided additional lines of evidence on the changing role of maize through time and space and its spread throughout the Americas. The multidisciplinary evidence from the social and biological sciences presented in this volume have generated a much more complex picture of the economic, political, and religious significance of maize. The volume also includes ethnographic research on the uses and roles of maize in indigenous cultures and a linguistic section that includes chapters on indigenous folk taxonomies and the role and meaning of maize to the development of civilization. Histories of Maize is the most comprehensive reference source on the botanical, genetic, archaeological, and anthropological aspects of ancient maize published to date…. [detailed...]

Histories of Suicide: International Perspectives on Self-Destruction in the Modern World

Description: Suicide is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with more than one million fatalities each year. During the post-war period, the rate of completed suicides has risen dramatically, especially among young men and Aboriginal peoples living in the Western world. While this has naturally led to growing concern amongst health care practitioners and policy experts, relatively little is known about the history of attempted and completed suicide. Histories of Suicide is the first book to examine the history of suicide in diverse national contexts, including Japan, Scotland, Australia, Soviet Russia, Peru, United States, France, South Africa, and Canada, to reveal the different social, political, economic, and cultural factors that inform our understanding of suicide.This interdisciplinary collection of essays assembles historians, health economists, anthropologists, and sociologists, who examine the history of suicide from a variety of approaches to provide crucial insight into how… [detailed...]

History Beyond the Text: A Students Guide to Approaching Alternative Sources (Routledge Guides to Using Historical Sources)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Historians are increasingly looking beyond the traditional, and turning to visual, oral, aural, and virtual sources to inform their work. The challenges these sources pose require new skills of interpretation and require historians to consider alternative theoretical and practical approaches. In order to help historians successfully move beyond traditional text, Barber and Peniston-Bird bring together chapters from historical specialists in the fields of fine art, photography, film, oral history, architecture, virtual sources, music, cartoons, landscape and material culture to explain why, when and how these less traditional sources can be used. Each chapter introduces the reader to the source, suggests the methodological and theoretical questions historians should keep in mind when using it, and provides case studies to illustrate best practice in analysis and interpretation. Pulling these disparate sources together, the introduction discusses the nature of historical sources and… [detailed...]
