Tim Armstrong
Modernism: A Cultural History (Themes in 20th-Century Literature and Culture)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe last 20 years has seen an explosion of work on literary modernism and its cultural and historical contexts. In this innovative study aimed at a general audience, Tim Armstrong seeks to define modernism not only by its aesthetics and literary genres but also by its links with broader cultural areas in which the ?modern? is implicated and debated, and which inform its representational modes. Modernism: A Cultural History explores modernism`s struggle with a split temporality in which the old and the emerging new struggle, and in which, with the horror of the Great War, notions of a traumatic or ?frozen? time emerge. It considers such topics as modernism, market culture and obscurity, the culture of science and technology, politics, economics, eugenics, and sexology, primitivism and race, cinema and sound recording, gender and modernism, and the study of consciousness and the senses. It portrays modernism less as a movement in revolt from the… [detailed...]

Modernism: Designing a New World

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The first book to explore Modernism from a truly international perspective, Modernism: Designing a New World offers a reassessment of the concept and reveals the fundamental ways in which it has shaped our world and its visual culture. Modrnism flourished between 1914 and 1939, and became a key point of reference for 20th-century architecture, art, and design. This important, lavishly illustrated book demonstrates the movement`s continued influence, on everything from the chairs we sit on o the buildings we occupy. The range of objects illustrated-including the fine arts as well as architecture, furniture, manufactured products, film, and graphic design-reflect the period`s emphasis on the unity of the arts. Key artists and designers inclue Mondrian, Le Corbusier, Bourke-White, Eisenstein, and Breuer, along with lesser-known figures from around the globe. [detailed...]

Richard Weston
Modernism

1996 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Whether considered as a style or as an attitude of mind, the ideas of the modernists have affected the contemporary arts, design and architectural environment in a fundamental way. Our houses, our offices, our transport systems have all been transformed under its influence. This text presents the history of the way Modernism came to dominate, despite the fact that it was, in its heyday of the `20s and `30s, largely the preserve of the intellectuals. Richard Weston presents the roots of these ideas and the work of the pioneers of the Modern Movement, such as Mies, Corbusier and Gropius. He explores national and regional variations of the style, and considers responses to modernist ideals in the post-war period. Although the book focuses on the growth of these ideals, it also demonstrates their great influence after World War II, relating the ideals of Modernism to the real world of modernization.

Modernismo: Architecture and Design in Spain

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCatalan modernismo, a cultural and artistic style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was the Spanish equivalent of the Arts and Crafts movement and Art Noveau, the German Werkbund and the Viennese Secession. The common denominator of these movements was the ambition to develop a new concept of beauty based on the creative essence of humankind. This comprehensive study, containing a wealth of information not previously available in English, focuses on all aspects of modernismo. Insightful essays discuss the geographic focus of modernismo, Catalonia and its vibrant capital city, Barcelona, and the historic and social context. Architecture was greatly influenced by modernismo, and various practitioners?Antoni Gaudi, Lluis Domenech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch?developed personal styles based on patterns inspired by nature. Painting, sculpture, and music were equally affected by the times, moving away from academicism and… [detailed...]

Modernist Women and Visual Cultures: Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell, Photography and Cinema

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis volume presents an original study of the visual and literary aesthetics of influential modernist women writers, in particular Virginia Woolf, HD (Hilda Doolittle), and Dorothy Richardson. Maggie Humm focuses on the neglected (often intimate) domestic photographs of Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell, on Woolf`s essay `The Cinema` in the context of cinema journalism by other modernists, and on the influence of photography on Woolf`s Three Guineas, her short visual fictions (particularly `Portraits`), and her modernist essays. Humm examines how modernist women explore a freer range of aesthetics than their male counterparts by looking at not only what has been called women`s work at the margins of modernity, but also at what might be called the even more marginalized material within those boundaries-photo albums and image-texts. More than one thousand of Virginia Woolf`s uncatalogued photographs, and a similar number of Vanessa Bell`s, have been sitting in archives… [detailed...]

Modernity and the African Cinema

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book argues that the construction of modern African identity in all spheres of life, including the cinematic institution, is a product of the Euro-African contact that started in the fifteenth century. Traditional African institutions, which were overlaid with European substitutes during the period of colonialism, were transformed by this contact, and although the post-colonial period, especially the earlier years, sought to romanticize traditional African institutions with its politics of cultural re-awakening, a pragmatic marriage of the institutional practices of both continents emerged over the years, resulting in new practices that could be considered hybrid in nature. Many of these new hybrid practices are presented through cinema, one of the modern institutions inherited from colonialism. This book attempts to define the cinematic institution in Africa and argues that its pluralistic nature, which covers the broad spectrum of the people of the… [detailed...]

Modernization from the Other Shore: American Intellectuals and the Romance of Russian Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the late nineteenth century to the eve of World War II, America`s experts on Russia watched as Russia and the Soviet Union embarked on a course of rapid industrialization. Captivated by the idea of modernization, diplomats, journalists, and scholars across the political spectrum rationalized the enormous human cost of this path to progress. In a fascinating examination of this crucial era, David Engerman underscores the key role economic development played in America`s understanding of Russia and explores its profound effects on U.S. policy. American intellectuals from George Kennan to Samuel Harper to Calvin Hoover understood Russian events in terms of national character. Many of them used stereotypes of Russian passivity, backwardness,and fatalism to explain the need for--and the costs of--Soviet economic development. These costs included devastating famines that left millions starving while the government still exported grain. This book is a stellar example… [detailed...]

Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy: The Human Development Sequence

Publisher: —
Description: This book demonstrates that people`s basic values and beliefs are changing, in ways that affect their political, sexual, economic, and religious behavior. These changes are roughly predictable because they can be interpreted on the basis of a revised version of modernization theory presented here. Drawing on a massive body of evidence from societies containing 85% of the world`s population, the authors demonstrate that modernization is a process of human development, in which economic development triggers cultural changes that make individual autonomy, gender equality, and democracy increasingly likely.

Modernizing Infrastructure in Transformation Economies: Paving the Way to European Enlargement

2002 y.
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
Description: The design of infrastructure policies is a controversial issue in the transition economies of Eastern Europe, where the dismal state of infrastructure was widely regarded to be one of the major obstacles to economic recovery and sustained growth. With the imminent enlargement of the EU, Christian von Hirschhausen provides a detailed, reflective analysis of the state of infrastructure development in Eastern Europe. The author illustrates the different approaches to modernizing infrastructure and the successes that have been achieved in terms of fiscal relief, private investment and increased efficiency. Based upon a comparative institutional analysis and extensive field research and case studies, he provides empirical evidence from different sectors (power, gas, railways, roads, R&,D), with particular emphasis on countries such as Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, the Baltics and Russia. Given the substantial institutional instability of the early years of transition, the author… [detailed...]

Lust, seduction, betrayal, jealousy, and even the banality of cocktail party chatter are depicted with humor, affection, and, above all, honesty. Here is an aspect of Norman Mailer unknown to many: lighthearted, prankish, whimsical, and often gentle, playfully sketching the intimate urban world that surrounds us. Modest, funny, and true, each poem and drawing shows a new side of one of the greatest writers of our time. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionIs the future of Africa full of gloom and doom or is there a glimpse of hope on the horizon? Rather than debate this issue, Dr. Florence Wambugu gives you a hands-on answer in her book Modifying Africa: How Biotechnology Can Benefit the Poor and Hungry, a Case Study From Kenya. She demonstrates how a simple agricultural technology transfer project is helping to break the backbone of poverty and famine. In Africa, the continent where Dr. Wambugu was born, more than 5,000 peopledie each day from lack of food. Over 30 million children do not have the required nutrition to live a normal healthy life. Faced with this grim situation, it is refreshing to see how a simple technology can transform the lives of thousands of poorfarmers, who then in turn transform their communities. In Dr. Wambugu?s book Modifying Africa , she writes about real life stories of people who have benefited from planting tissue culture, or clean planting banana seedlings… [detailed...]

Jeffrey Meyers
Modigliani: A Life

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1920, at the age of thirty-five, Amedeo Modigliani died in poverty and neglect in Paris, much like a figure out of La Boh`eme. His life had been as dramatic as his death. An Italian Jew from a bourgeois family, `Modi` had a weakness for drink, hashish, and the many women-including the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova-who were drawn to his good looks. His friends included Picasso, Utrillo, Soutine, and other important artists of his day, yet his own work stood apart, generating little interest while he lived. Today`s art world, however, acknowledges him as a master whose limited oeuvre-sculptures, portraits, and some of the most appealing nudes in the whole of modern art-cannot satisfy collectors` demand. With a lively but judicious hand, biographer Jeffrey Meyers sketches Modigliani and the art he produced, illuminating not only this little-known figure but also the painters, writers, lovers, and others who inhabited early twentieth-century Paris with him.

Modigliani: Beyond the Myth (Published in Association with the Jewish Museum, New York S.)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amedeo Modigliani (1884--1920) is one of the greatest-and most misunderstood-artists of the twentieth century. His incisive portraits, erotically charged nudes, beautiful drawings, and primitivistic sculpture have been admired for decades. Modigliani`s work, however, has typically been examined in the limited context of his so-called `bohemian,` anti-intellectual lifestyle. This groundbreaking book revises this approach toward Modigliani`s art, presenting a convincing revisionist examination of the unique historical, social, religious, and cultural significance of his oeuvre. Modigliani: Beyond the Myth looks at the artist and his art from a variety of important perspectives: his proud heritage as a Sephardic Jew, whose spirituality embraced non-Western, classical, and Christian iconography while retaining his own ethnic identity, his critical engagement with the dialogues of the most radical of his avant-garde contemporaries (Picasso, Chaim Soutine, Henri Matisse, and Brancusi), the… [detailed...]

Publisher: Ediciones Poligrafa
Description: Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani has endured as one of the most esteemed artists of the twentieth century and his work has never been more popular than it is today. The lush, sensuous nudes and intense, mannered portraits that are his trademark have become favorites of collectors and museum-goers alike, the timeless products of a man who was as passionate about his life as he was about his art. Though Modigliani`s work was largely ignored during his short lifetime, the myth surrounding him as a Romantic artist, one hampered by illness but given to personal excess, has only served to bolster the popularity of his work today. Modigliani`s untimely death cut short his impassioned productivity, but this volume captures the intensity of his drawings, sculpture, and paintings in more than seventy full-color illustrations. Documentary photographs enhance the detailed account of his life, his inspirations, his friends and lovers, and his intense struggle to assert… [detailed...]
