АламанМагазин. Книжный мир. Книги на иностранных языках(Foreign books): Surprise!: Primary 1 — Surrender To Heal : Seven Ways to Rise Above The Battlefields of Life

Description: At thirteen, Danya Ruttenberg decided she was an atheist. As a young adult, she immersed herself in the rhinestone-bedazzled wonderland of late 1990s San Francisco—drinking smuggled absinthe with wealthy geeks and plotting the revolution with feminist zinemakers. But she found herself yearning for something she would eventually call God. Surprised by God is a memoir of a young woman’s spiritual awakening and eventual path to the rabbinate, a story of integrating life on the edge of the twenty-first century into the discipline of traditional Judaism, without sacrificing either. It’s also an unflinchingly honest guide to the kind of work that goes into developing a spiritual practice—and it shows why, perhaps, doing this in today’s world requires more effort than ever.

Surrealism (Movements in Modern Art series) (Movements in Modern Art)

1997 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Surrealism was one of the most interesting and influential at movements of the 20th century. A collective adventure begun by a small group of intellectuals in Paris in the early 1920s, amongst them Max Ernst, Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali, its influence was felt through the rest of continental Europe and in Britain, the Americas, Mexico and Japan. This volume offers insights into the complexities of the surrealist imagination. It documents how the artists met, the relationship of surrealism to dada, and the influences that informed the movement, particularly the work of Sigmund Freud. The position of the women, as surrealist subject-matter as well as artists in their own right, is examined. There is close analysis of individual works, many of them found from the Tate Gallery collection. [detailed...]

Jonathan P. Eburne
Surrealism and the Art of Crime

2008 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Corpses mark surrealism`s path through the twentieth century, providing material evidence of the violence in modern life. Though the shifting group of poets, artists, and critics who made up the surrealist movement were witness to total war, revolutionary violence, and mass killing, it was the tawdry reality of everyday crime that fascinated them. Jonathan P. Eburne shows us how this focus reveals the relationship between aesthetics and politics in the thought and artwork of the surrealists and establishes their movement as a useful platform for addressing the contemporary problem of violence, both individual and political. In a book strikingly illustrated with surrealist artworks and their sometimes gruesome source material, Eburne addresses key individual works by both better-known surrealist writers and artists (including Andre Breton, Louis Aragon, Aime Cesaire, Jacques Lacan, Georges Bataille, Max Ernst, and Salvador Dali) and lesser-known figures (such as Rene Crevel, Simone… [detailed...]

Kim Grant
Surrealism and the Visual Arts : Theory and Reception

2005 y.
Publisher: —

Description: Book DescriptionThis study traces the development of Surrealist theory of visual art and its reception, from the birth of Surrealism to its institutionalization in the mid-1930s. Situating Surrealist art theory in its theoretical and discursive contexts,Kim Grant demonstrates the complex interplay between Surrealism and the critical expectations of contemporaries. She examines the challenge to Surrealist art raised by the magazine Cahiers d`Art, which promoted a group of young painters dedicated to a liberated and poetic painting process that was in keeping with the formalist evolution of modern art. Grant also discusses the centrality of visual art in Surrealism as a material manifestation of poetry, the significance of poetry in French theories of modern art, and the difficulties faced by an avant-garde movement at a time when contemporary audiences expected revolutionary innovation.

Description: Book DescriptionThis volume examines the intersection of Hegelian aesthetics, experimental art and poetry, Marxism and psychoanalysis in the development of the theory and practice of the Surrealist movement.

He also analyzes the debate on proletarian literature, the Surrealists` reaction to the Popular Front, and their eventual defense of an experimental modern art. [detailed...]

Michael Allen Meeropol
Surrender : How the Clinton Administration Completed the Reagan Revolution

— y.
Publisher: —

Description: Michael Meeropol argues that the ballooning of the federal budget deficit was not a serious problem in the 1980s, nor were the successful recent efforts to get it under control the basis for the prosperous economy of the mid-1990s. In this controversial book, the author provides a close look at what actually happened to the American economy during the years of the `Reagan Revolution` and reveals that the huge deficits had no negative effect on the economy. It was the other policies of the Reagan years--high interest rates to fight inflation, supply-side tax cuts, reductions in regulation, increased advantages for investors and the wealthy, the unraveling of the safety net for the poor--that were unsuccessful in generating more rapid growth and other economic improvements. Meeropol provides compelling evidence of the failure of the U.S. economy between 1990 and 1994 to generate rising incomes for most of the population or improvements in productivity.
