Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie gli articoli presentati al Congresso internazionale “Glimpses of Indian History and Art. Reflections on the Past. Perspectives for the Future” (Uno sguardo alla storia e all’arte dell’India. Riflessioni sul passato, prospettive per il futuro), tenuto alla Sapienza Università di Roma il 18 e 19 aprile 2011. Principale scopo del Congresso, che ha riunito eminenti studiosi indiani ed europei tra i quali alcuni di fama internazionale, è stato quello di tracciare un bilancio tra passato e presente della ricerca in due dei maggiori settori degli studi indologici, quello storico e quello artistico. Gli studi sulla storia e l’arte dell’India hanno finora seguito per lo più tendenze stabilite nella prima metà del secolo scorso. Nel corso di quei decenni, la terminologia e gli approcci adottati vennero modellati su forme dell’arte occidentale; inoltre, a differenza di quanto nel frattempo avveniva per l’arte occidentale, i dati storici e artistici furono assai raramente interpretati alla luce di metodiche interdisciplinari, con riferimento ai risultati della ricerca sociologica, politica e antropologica. Per di più, i testi canonici considerati, con rare eccezioni, erano quelli della tradizione sanscritistica. Oggi emergono orientamenti di maggiore maturità metodologica: antichi paradigmi e recenti stereotipi, talora dovuti a contingenti situazioni di ordine politico e sociale, vengono revocati in dubbio e sostituiti da rinnovati criteri d’indagine e nuove intuizioni interpretative, ai quali il presente volume intende recare testimonianza.

Download or read book Pattern and Ornament in the Arts of India written by Henry Wilson and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of the arts of India is overwhelming, and perhaps most noticeably so in its architecture. This innovative volume reveals the exquisite detail of the decorative compositions, their finesse, precision, and creativity. It also highlights the skill, patience, and pictorial imagination of the many thousands of craftsmen and their patrons. The timeline runs for almost two thousand years, from the Buddhist stupa at Sanchi of the first century BC/AD to Rajput palace interiors of c. 1900. Hundreds of atmospheric photo- graphs are juxtaposed with graphic transpositions of the designs, patterns, and ornamentation to reveal the nature of the architectural detail, where stone, wood, mirror work, and plaster are transformed into masterworks of decorative art.

Download or read book An Entirely New History of India written by François Gautier and published by Garuda Prakashan Private, Limited. This book was released on 2020 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Entirely New History of INDIA; Indian History needs to be re-examined and freed from colonial biases and error. Driven by Christian belief in a 6000-year old planet, British scholars, and their Indian hires, post-dated Indian history to fit into erroneous Western conceptions. For their own agendas the manufactures theories such as that of an "Aryan Invasion" and dismissed vast evidences, such as the existence of the river Sarasvati, as "mythical", even though it was mentioned more than fifty times in the Vedas. The colonial gaze also erroneously represented events such as the invasion of India by Alexander the Great in the year 326 BCE and fabricated myths such as the conversion of emperor Ashoka to Buddhism, purportedly due to "remorse" after the terrible battle of Kalinga, when Ashoka already a Buddhist at the time of the battle. Thus this book rewrites Indian History based on new evidence including new scientific, linguistic and genetic discoveries. It seeks to dismantle the cliches, to clarify the controversies, and to retrace, as accurately as possible, the most significant periods of Indian history-history much older than previously thought
Download or read book India After Gandhi The History of the World s Largest Democracy written by Ramachandra Guha and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 871 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ramachandra Guha’s India after Gandhi is a magisterial account of the pains, struggles, humiliations and glories of the world’s largest and least likely democracy. A riveting chronicle of the often brutal conflicts that have rocked a giant nation, and of the extraordinary individuals and institutions who held it together, it established itself as a classic when it was first published in 2007. In the last decade, India has witnessed, among other things, two general elections; the fall of the Congress and the rise of Narendra Modi; a major anti-corruption movement; more violence against women, Dalits, and religious minorities; a wave of prosperity for some but the persistence of poverty for others; comparative peace in Nagaland but greater discontent in Kashmir than ever before. This tenth anniversary edition, updated and expanded, brings the narrative up to the present. Published to coincide with seventy years of the country’s independence, this definitive history of modern India is the work of one of the world’s finest scholars at the height of his powers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In America today, opera has never been more popular, and one reason for this is, no doubt, that American opera singers are fixtures on every leading opera stage throughout the world. In this lively and engrossing account, Peter G. Davis, music critic for New York magazine and a leading opera authority, tells the story of how these plucky, resilient and supremely talented American singers have transformed this venerable European-born art form and made it their own. Starting with opera's arrival in America in the early nineteenth century, Davis shows how American singers grew in sophistication and stature along with the country. From the nineteenth-century pioneers who crashed the gates of Europe's elite opera circles, to the glamorous singers of the early twentieth century who were also Hollywood stars and publicity magnets, to the highly professional singers since World War II who not only have gained European acceptance but now dominate the industry, this lively and highly readable account chronicles the extraordinary lives and adventures of these larger-than-life personalities. Included are Maria Callas, Beverly Sills, Richard Tucker, Leontyne Price, Marilyn Horne, Lawrence Tibbett, and a galaxy of others whose stories are as dramatic and compelling as the roles they sang on stage. Full of prima-donna antics, hilarious backstage anecdotes, and performance lore, "The American Opera Singer will delight anyone who has felt the magic of opera, and will provide a new canon of American singing sure to provoke spirited debate among aficionados. Trained as a musician and composer, Peter G. Davis has been writing about music for over thirty years in such publications as the "NewYork Times, The Times of London, High Fidelity, and "Opera News.
