Download or read book Iconoclasm and the Museum written by Stacy Boldrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iconoclasm and the Museum addresses the museum’s historic tendency to be silent about destruction through an exploration of institutional attitudes to iconoclasm, or image breaking, and the concept’s place in public display. Presenting a selection of focused case studies, Boldrick examines long-standing desires to deface, dismantle, obscure or destroy works of art and historic artefacts, as well as motivations to protect and display broken objects. Considering the effects of iconoclastic practices on artworks and cultural artefacts and how those practices are addressed in institutions, the book examines changing attitudes to the intentional destruction of powerful artworks in the past and present. It ends with an analysis of creative destruction in contemporary art making and proposes that we are entering a new phase for museums, in which they acknowledge the critical roles destruction and loss play in the lives of objects and in contemporary political life. Iconoclasm and the Museum will be important reading for academics and students in fields such as museum and gallery studies, archaeology, art history, arts management, curatorial studies, cultural studies, history, heritage and religious studies. The book should also be of great interest to museum professionals, curators and collections management specialists, and artists.

Download or read book Our Story written by Mike Richards and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a time when politicians, media and politically correct activists are moving us towards the secularisation of our society and the marginalisation of Christian values. In such a society Christian values have no relevance to daily living. At such a time we give testimony to the power and relevance of Jesus Christ throughout the ups and downs of 55 years of married life. The message of this book is that when we depend completely on God and seek to follow Him wholeheartedly amazing things will result. Many examples are given from our experiences of living in three very different continents. Mike and Joan met while studying pharmacy at the School of Pharmacy, University of London. After experience of hospital pharmacy, National Service for Mike with the 16th Independent Parachute Brigade, the birth of their first son Peter, Bible School, Missionary and Linguistic Training, Orientation and the birth of their second son Paul in Singapore, they served with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship (OMF) at Manorom Christian Hospital Thailand, where Ann was born. After completing a PhD while on leave of absence from OMF, and the birth of Rose in Bristol, they returned to Bangkok, where Megan was born. How did all this happen? What happened next? We invite you to read this book to find the answers!

Download or read book The Saints of Cornwall written by Nicholas Orme and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-01-06 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornwall is unique among English counties, though similar to other Celtic lands, in its religious history. Its churches, chapels, and place-names commemorated not only the major saints of Christendom, but also many minor 'Celtic' ones, unique to single churches. This book breaks new ground by considering them all, comprehensively and in detail. The introduction explains how the cults came into existence, and how they shed light on early Christianity in the county. It follows their history up to the Reformation, and shows how popular devotion to the saints lingered even in the eighteenth century. The main part of the book provides a history of every known religious cult in Cornwall from the sixth century AD to the Reformation, with relevant information about its later history down to the present day. Every known site is identified (church, chapel, altar, image, holy well, or other outdoor feature), and every written source is discussed (saint's Life, liturgical commemoration, and calendar festival). This is the first time that a complete inventory of cults has been produced for an area as large as an English county. The work also includes many saints venerated in Brittany, Wales and England, and makes copious references to all three countries. It provides a major resource in the fields of medieval Church history, Reformation studies, folklore, and Celtic studies, as well as the history of Cornwall.
