Download or read book Commemoration in America written by David Gobel and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commemoration lies at the poetic, historiographic, and social heart of human community. It is how societies define themselves and is central to the institution of the city. Addressing the complex ways that monuments in the United States have been imagined, created, and perceived from the colonial period to the present, Commemoration in America is a wide-ranging volume that focuses on the role of remembrance and memorialization in American urban life. The volume’s contributors are drawn from a spectrum of disciplines—social and urban history, urban planning, architecture, art history, preservation, and architectural history—and take a broad view of commemoration. In addition to the making of traditional monuments, the essays explore such commemorative acts as building preservation, biography, portraiture, ritual performance, street naming, and the planting of trees. Providing an overview of American memorialization and the impulses behind it, Commemoration in America emphasizes a universal tendency for individuals and groups to use monuments to define their contemporary social identity and to construct historical narratives. The volume shows that while commemorative acts and objects affect the community in fundamental ways, their meaning is always multivalent and conflicted, attesting to both triumphs and tragedies. Constituting a vital part of both individual and national identity, commemoration’s contradictions strike at the core of American identity and speak to the importance of remembrance in the construction of our diverse national cultural landscape.

Download or read book Comrade K A Subramaniam KAS Commemoration Volume written by K. A. Subramaniam Commemoration Committee and published by South Vision Books. This book was released on with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor George Derwent Thompson (1903 - 1987) of England pioneered the method of reading Greek classical literature in Marxist approaches. His book "Aeschylus and Athens" in 1941 and "Marxism and Poetry" in 1945 received international attention. He was a member of the Communist Party of England and left the party after the Chinese Revolution due to differences of opinion. However, he continued to write various books enriching Marxism. He was close to the people until the very end. The rise of China today is the basis of his predictions. Professor K. Kailasapathy is a student of George Thompson. While studying for his Ph.D., Thomson was the master of ceremonies. Following his style, K. Kailasapathy submitted a study on the heroic poetry of the Tamils under the title ‘Tamil Heroic Poetry’. Oxford University published it in 1968. Comrade KAS was an enthusiastic nurturer of the method of studying traditional literature from a Marxist perspective.Comrade KAS can be said to be like George Thompson of Sri Lanka. They both deal with their confidence as they choose to embark on their play activities. Some within the party have struggled to advance the debate on it. Today their struggle is proving to be the right one. Those who stood in front of them have all but disappeared. The commemorative committee is delighted to announce the release of this memorial book in honor of the late General Secretary of Sri Lanka Communist Party (Left), K.A. Subramaniam, on the first month commemoration of his passing. These are just a few short snippets that commemorate comrade KAS. But these pages show that the deep and meaningful ideas and assessments contained within are not mere lip service or formal phrases usually awarded to a deceased person.

Book excerpt: "War has been commemorated since ancient times. The recent First World War centenaries are proof that remembering conflict continues to produce strong feelings among people of all walks of life. But how, in the twenty-first century, can we do commemoration better? In particular, how can commemoration contribute to post-war reconciliation and reconstruction? In this book, a global roster of distinguished individuals - poets, an international human rights advocate, musicians, policy-makers, novelists, academics, a sculptor, a world-renowned architect, members of different faiths, composers, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and military veterans - debate these questions and ponder the future of commemoration. The book focuses on three modes of commemoration: Textual Commemoration - commemoration in writing and images; Monumental Commemoration - monuments, architecture, museums, sculptures, battlefields and sites of mourning; Aural Commemoration - music, sound and silence. Polemics and reflections together with poetry and creative prose movingly illuminate a subject that is sensitive and sobering but which also speaks to our common humanity"--
