Fragile Diplomacy: Meissen Porcelain for European Courts

2008 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: While imported Chinese porcelain had become a valuable commodity in Europe in the seventeenth century, local attempts to produce porcelain long remained unsuccessful. At last, the secret of hard-paste porcelain was uncovered, and in 1710, the first European porcelain was manufactured in Saxony. Meissen porcelain, still manufactured today, soon ranked in value with silver and gold. This thorough and lavishly illustrated volume explores the early years of Meissen porcelain and how the princes of Saxony came to use highly-prized porcelain pieces as diplomatic gifts for presentation to foreign courts. An eminent team of international contributors examines the trade of Meissen with other nations, from England to Russia. They also investigate the cultural ambience of the Dresden Court, varying tastes of the markets, the wide range of porcelain objects, and their designers and makers. For every Meissen collector or enthusiast, this book will be not only a treasured handbook but also a source… [detailed...]

Fragile Families and the Marriage Agenda

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: Many people see government involvement in family policy as a response to popular concerns that the American family is in a state of crisis. One of the primary concerns with “fragile” families (one parent – usually mother) is economic: Poverty rates for single mothers are several times that of two-parent families. Economic deprivation while growing up has been linked to poor physical health, reduced intellectual ability and academic achievement. Some social sciences contend that marriage is the solution to many of the problems associated with single-parent families. Other experts believe that government programs designed to raise marriage rates may cause more problems than they solve (i.e. domestic violence, divorce, etc.). The proposed volume will explore issues related to fragile families from many different perspectives on the causes and consequences of this issue. This book is divided up into sections covering legal and theoretical perspectives,… [detailed...]

Fragile Paradise: The Impact of Tourism on Maui, 1959-2000

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: With its white sandy beaches, lush green uplands, and near-perfect weather, the Hawaiian island of Maui is more than a picture postcard: it is a multi-million-dollar tourist attraction that repeatedly has been voted `best island in the world` by CondeNast Traveler readers. Consider, then, the bumper sticker seen on residents` cars in recent years: `If it`s tourist season, why can`t we shoot them?` From its modest beginnings in the prewar era, tourism has become the most important segment of Maui`s economy since the 1970s. But as Mansel Blackford shows, it is also a devil`s bargain. By switching the island`s income base from sugar cane to condos, tourism has offered a solution to economic problems but has also placed an unanticipated strain onMaui`s infrastructure and made unexpected demands of its residents. Now as roads and sewers have reached their limits and escalating property values have ousted long-timers, the growth of the `visitor industry` has forced the people of… [detailed...]

Fragile Remnants / Verletzliche Beute: Egyptian Textiles of Late Antiquity and Early Islam / Spatantike und Fruhislamische Textilien aus Agypten

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Curtains, blankets, pillows, tunics--most Coptic textiles, the ancient and early Islamic fabrics unearthed at burial grounds and other archaeological sites in Egypt, are woven wool or linen. They were produced between the third and eighth centuries AD and unearthed in the nineteenth century, and they convey both a vivid impression of ancient life and of early Egyptology. This new genre of archaeological find was presented for the very first time at what is now the MAK museum in Vienna in 1883, accompanied by a catalogue compiled by its discoverers, Orientalist Josef von Karabacek and art dealer Theodor Graf. The MAK (then the Imperial and Royal Austrian Museum of Art and Industry) purchased the core of GrafA­s collection that same year, bringing its significant collection of Coptic textiles to more than 1000 objects. The 115 items selected for presentation in Fragile Remnants offer a representative overview, a look back in time and inspiration for present-day designers. [detailed...]

Fragmented Intimacy: Addiction in a Social World

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: This book is a first major attempt to examine what might be involved in consistently applying social understandings to addictions. Traditional approaches are dominated by what the book refers to as “particle” perspectives in which the focus narrows down to the person experiencing the addiction. Despite decades of research and development, particle-derived intervention approaches have yielded marginal gains in reducing levels of addiction. A shift in orientation may open up new possibilities. A social perspective shifts from thinking in terms of particles to viewing a person in terms of relationships. People become, in many ways, defined by the array of connections that comprise their social world. The reorientation generates interesting new opportunities for explanation and intervention.

Fragmented Lives, Assembled Parts: Culture, Capitalism, and Conquest at the U.S.-Mexico Border

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Established in 1659 as Mision de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de los Mansos del Paso del Norte, Ciudad Juarez is the oldest colonial settlement on the U.S.-Mexico border--and one of the largest industrialized border cities in the world. Since the days of its founding, Juarez has been marked by different forms of conquest and the quest for wealth as an elaborate matrix of gender, class, and ethnic hierarchies struggled for dominance. Juxtaposing the early Spanish invasions of the region with the arrival of late-twentieth-century industrial `conquistadors,` Fragmented Lives, Assembled Parts documents the consequences of imperial history through in-depth ethnographic studies of working-class factory life. By comparing the social and human consequences of recent globalism with the region`s pioneer era, Alejandro Lugo demonstrates the ways in which class mobilization is itself constantly being `unmade` at both the international and personal levels for border workers.

Fragments of the World: Uses of Museum Collections, First Edition

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDuring the past decade a number of individual museums have found imaginative ways of using their collections and of making them accessible. However, museum collections as a whole are enormous in size and quantity and the question of how can they can be put to best use is ever present. When conventional exhibitions can only ever utilise a tiny proportion of them, what other uses of the collections are possible? Will their exploitation and use now destroy their value for future generations?Should they simply be kept safely and as economically as possible as a resource for the future? Fragments of the World examines these questions, first reviewing the history of collecting and of collections, then discussing the ways in which the collections themselves are being used today. Case studies of leading examples from around the world illustrate the discussion. Bringing together the thinking about museum collections with case studies of the ways in which different types… [detailed...]

Fragonard (Drawing Gallery series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Louvre collection of drawings by Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732?1806) is one of the finest and most well-balanced there is. It provides an overview, from the beginning to the end of his career, through his different techniques and the variety of his themes, of the light-hearted determination and the feigned roguishness of one of the most popular and most misunderstood French artists. Fragonard shifts from being the most scrupulous observer of nature, whether it be the humanfigure or landscape, the creator of profoundly moving religious compositions or of frivolously charming interiors, or again the boisterously inventive and unbridled illustrator of Ariosto or Cervantes. He is also one of the most intent and sprightly interpreters of works of the past, and the Louvre collection allows to have a close look at this fundamental aspect, in particular thanks to several spectacular, utterly personal copies after Rubens and Jordaens. He has verve and… [detailed...]

Framed!: Labor and the Corporate Media

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Christopher R. Martin argues that the mainstream news media (and the large corporations behind them) put the labor movement in a bad light even while avoiding the appearance of bias. Martin has found that the news media construct `common ground` narratives between labor and management positions by reporting on labor relations from a consumer perspective. Martin identifies five central storytelling frames using this consumer orientation that repeatedly emerged in the news media coverage of major laborstories in the 1990s: the 1991?94 shutdown of the General Motors Willow Run Assembly Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the 1993 American Airlines flight attendant strike, the 1994?95 Major League Baseball strike, the 1997 United Parcel Service strike, and the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization?s conference in Seattle. In Martin?s view, the news media?s consumer `take` on the labor movement has the effect of submerging issues of citizenship,… [detailed...]

Frames of Remembrance: The Dynamics of Collective Memory

2007 y.
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
Description: What is the symbolic impact of the Vietnam War Memorial? How does television change our engagement with the past? Can the efforts to wipe out Communist legacies succeed? Should victims of the Holocaust be celebrated as heroes or as martyrs? These questions have a great deal in common, yet they are typically asked separately by people working in distinct research areas in different disciplines. `Frames of Remembrance` shares ideas and concerns across such divides. Irwin-Zarecka writes in clear, trenchant prose, inviting interdisciplinary exchanges. She journeys through a widely ranging empirical terrain, allowing students of collective memory to explore the emergent links and bridges. Working through a selection of analytically challenging questions, she opens new passages of inquiry. The results should prove a treasure trove for experienced researchers and newcomers alike. The first part of the book sets the analytical parameters of the study. The second section reflects on how the… [detailed...]
