This book was released on 2023-05-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructing Gardens, Cultivating the City is the first cultural history of major new parks developed in Paris in the late twentieth century, as part of the city's program of adaptive reuse of industrial spaces. Thanks to laws that gave the city more political autonomy, Paris's local government launched a campaign of park creation in the late 1970s that continued to the turn of the millennium. The parks in this book represent this campaign and illustrate different facets of their cultural and historical context. Archival research, interviews, and analyses of the parks reveal how postmodern debates about urban planning, the historic city, public space, and nature's presence in an urban setting influenced their designs. In sum, the city adopted the garden as a model for public parks, investing in complex, richly symbolic and representational spaces. These parks were intended to represent contemporary twists on traditional designs and serve local residents as much as they would contribute to Paris's role as a world city. The parks' development process often included points of conflict, pointing to differing views on what Parisian space should represent and fundamental contradictions between the characteristics of public space and the garden as it is traditionally defined. These parks demonstrate the ongoing cultivation of the city over time, in which transformed sites not only fulfil new functions but also engage with history and their surroundings to create new meaning. They stand for landscape as a form of signifying cultural production that directly engages with other art forms and ways of knowing. Just as the Luxembourg Gardens, the Tuileries, and the Buttes-Chaumont parks exemplify their eras' cultural dynamics, such parks as the Jardin Atlantique, Parc André-Citroën, and the Jardin des Halles express contemporary French culture within the archetypal space of their era, the city. Finally, they point the way to current trends in landscape architecture, such as citizen gardening and ecological initiatives.

Download or read book Routes Roads and Landscapes written by Brita Brenna and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routes and roads make their way into and across the landscape, defining it as landscape and making it accessible for many kinds of uses and perceptions. Bringing together outstanding scholars from cultural history, geography, philosophy, and a host of other disciplines, this collection examines the complex entanglement between routes and landscapes. It traces the changing conceptions of the landscape from the Enlightenment to the present day, looking at how movement has been facilitated, imagined and represented and how such movement, in turn, has conditioned understandings of the landscape. A particular focus is on the modern transportation landscape as it came into being with the canal, the railway, and the automobile. These modes of transport have had a profound impact on the perception and conceptualization of the modern landscape, a relationship investigated in detail by authors such as Gernot Böhme, Sarah Bonnemaison, Tim Cresswell, Finola O'Kane, Charlotte Klonk, Peter Merriman, Christine Macy, David Nye, Vittoria Di Palma, Charles Withers, and Thomas Zeller.

Book excerpt: Our continued use of the combustion engine car in the 21st century, despite many rational arguments against it, makes it more and more difficult to imagine that transport has a sustainable future. Offering a sweeping transatlantic perspective, this book explains the current obsession with automobiles by delving deep into the motives of early car users. It provides a synthesis of our knowledge about the emergence and persistence of the car, using a broad range of material including novels, poems, films, and songs to unearth the desires that shaped our present “car society.” Combining social, psychological, and structural explanations, the author concludes that the ability of cars to convey transcendental experience, especially for men, explains our attachment to the vehicle.

Book excerpt: Landscape architecture and photography are closely interrelated, since the former is a constantly evolving thing that can be captured in stills, even eternalized, by photography. What role does photography play in landscape design? How does photography create a new context for landscape? The book investigates such questions in nine essays by North-American and French scientists, using landscape designs that were created from the 1950s to today.

Book excerpt: Au-delà des tableaux de figure, des portraits, de la peinture d'histoire et de l'exécution de grands décors, le paysage occupe dans l'œuvre de Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918) une place fondamentale. Aux tableaux peints sous l'influence du peintre réaliste Ferdinand Sommer succèdent des paysages imprégnés de lumière, tributaires de Barthélemy Menn, souvent dominés par une harmonie de gris. Puis, vers 1890, se détachant de l'influence de ses maîtres, l'artiste donne à sa peinture une dimension mystique, voire religieuse. Dès lors, il utilise la symétrie comme principe de composition. Cette notion, que Hodler nomme " parallélisme ", constitue probablement sa contribution majeure à la peinture symboliste. Hodler, qui remporte un succès croissant, simplifie l'ordonnance de ses tableaux, tout en s'autorisant de remarquables audaces chromatiques. Ses compositions se distinguent alors par une absence de la figure humaine et de manière générale, en réaction au positivisme, par un refus de la civilisation. A partir de 1915 et jusqu'à sa mort, l'artiste exécute essentiellement des paysages dans lesquels il privilégie les lignes de compositions horizontales, et redéfinit les rapports entre la lumière et la couleur. Chez Hodler, le paysage est tout à la fois champ d'expérimentation et support à la réflexion. La peinture s'y affranchit des contraintes pratiques, figuratives et formelles pour redéfinir ses propres bases.

Book excerpt: Notre paysage voisin, le voyons-nous se transformer ? L'enfant, le voyons-nous grandir ? Et les arbres pousser ? Cela se fait si lentement. Il faut l'éloignement et les retrouvailles pour que ce qui change nous saute aux yeux. Des paysages comme des visages, nous ne gardons qu'une mémoire imprécise, si elle n'est pas attestée par des repères. Par exemple des photographies. Ces photographies illustrent des histoires, des histoires de paysages qui changent. Car le paysage est vivant, il ne cesse de se modifier. Parfois brutalement, rapidement, comme dans de nombreuses banlieues. Ou, le plus souvent, lentement, voire très lentement comme ce visage familier, qu'il faut perdre de vue et retrouver pour prendre conscience de son évolution, employant le passé pour constater le présent : "Comme il a vieilli !" ou "Comme elle a grandi !" Il en est ainsi lorsque c'est l'usage des lieux, de touche en touche, qui fait évoluer les paysages qui nous entourent. L'agriculture, ses contraintes et ses modes ; la voiture, si envahissante, avec ses équipements et ses symboles ; l'obsession de la sécurité, élevant murailles et grilles... La plupart des deux cents photographies de ce livre ont été réalisées par de grands artistes, tels Raymond Depardon, Sophie Ristelhueber ou John Davies. D'autres sont d'anonymes images des siècles derniers qui témoignent, elles aussi, de l'ampleur des changements dans notre cadre de vie.

Download or read book Modern Dance in France 1920 1970 written by Jacqueline Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was indeed an adventure for those pioneers in France who struggled for the recognition of the new-born dance of the twentieth century - from the free dance of Isadora Duncan, through the absolute dance of Mary Wigman, to the modern dance of Martha Graham. Jacqueline Robinson has lived at the heart of this adventure, sharing the aspirations of a whole generation who often suffered from the lack of understanding of an establishment more inclined towards classical ballet. From the breaking of the soil in the twenties, to the flowering in the sixties, here is a chronicle of the changing landscape of French dance. Here is the story of those men and women, ploughmen and poets, rebels and visionaries - the recollection of those events that made it possible for dance as an art form in Western countries to rise again as a fundamental expression of the human spirit.
Download or read book Jet Age Aesthetic written by Vanessa R. Schwartz and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning look at the profound impact of the jet plane on the mid-century aesthetic, from Disneyland to Life magazine Vanessa R. Schwartz engagingly presents the jet plane’s power to define a new age at a critical moment in the mid-20th century, arguing that the craft’s speed and smooth ride allowed people to imagine themselves living in the future. Exploring realms as diverse as airport architecture, theme park design, film, and photography, Schwartz argues that the jet created an aesthetic that circulated on the ground below. Visual and media culture, including Eero Saarinen’s airports, David Bailey’s photographs of the jet set, and Ernst Haas’s experiments in color photojournalism glamorized the imagery of motion. Drawing on unprecedented access to the archives of The Walt Disney Studios, Schwartz also examines the period’s most successful example of fluid motion meeting media culture: Disneyland. The park’s dedication to “people-moving” defined Walt Disney’s vision, shaping the very identity of the place. The jet age aesthetic laid the groundwork for our contemporary media culture, in which motion is so fluid that we can surf the internet while going nowhere at all.
