Download or read book Public Art Memorials and Atlantic Slavery written by Celeste-Marie Bernier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection distinguished American and European scholars, curators and artists discuss major issues concerning the representation and commemoration of slavery, as brought into sharp focus by the 2007 bicentennial of the abolition of the slave trade. Writers consider nineteenth and twentieth century American and European images of African Americans, art installations, photography, literature, sculpture, exhibitions, performances, painting, film and material culture. This is essential reading for historians, cultural critics, art-historians, educationalists and museologists, in America as in Europe, and an important contribution to the understanding of the African diaspora, race, American and British history, heritage tourism, and transatlantic relations. Contributions include previously unpublished interview material with artists and practitioners, and a comprehensive review of the commemorative exhibitions of 2007. Illustrations include images from Louisiana, Maryland, and Virginia, many previously unpublished, in black and white, which challenge previous understandings of the aesthetics of slave representation. This book was published as a special issue of Slavery and Abolition.

Download or read book ZIJ written by Purva Grover and published by Ukiyoto Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vaak krijg ik de vraag hoe het voelt om een vrouw te zijn. Ik blijf verbijsterd, want ik weet niet hoe ik iets anders moet zijn, behalve één zijn. Ze koos mij. Ik stortte gewoon in. Vrouw zijn is als rennen op een loopband, je komt niet "helemaal" ergens. Je pikt elke dag op waar je de vorige dag vertrokken bent. Op deze pagina's vieren we wassende ellende en slechte haardagen, vinken we de vakjes aan en overtreden we de regels, en bieden we onze excuses aan voor het oud worden en voelen we ons schuldig als we promotie maken op het werk. We spreken van ongewenst advies, omdat we er ook een geven. We zuchten, glimlachen en minachten. We observeren, absorberen, beoordelen en vergelijken. Wij zijn eigenaar van onze ruimte. De onderwerpen van het boek zijn vrouwen die ik ken. Het is geen geval van puur toeval maar pure intentie. Er is geen onderzoek naar het boek gedaan, tenzij je nadenkt over geklets over drankjes, interlokale telefoongesprekken of waterkoelers, dus. Staat u mij toe, ik wil een paar (meer) minuten praten over vrouw zijn, net voordat ik afmeld. Ik ben verliefd op mijn bestaan en ik zal mijn positie met niemand, een collega-vriendin of een mannelijke vriend ruilen. Ben ik dankbaar? Oh ja. Ben ik uitgeput? Ja. Ben ik wijzer? Nee. Ik weet niet wat ik moet zeggen tegen vrouwen die naar the toe lopen in de veronderstelling dat ik het beter weet. Ben ik klaar om op te geven? Nee. Om lief te hebben, voor ons. Aan alle vrouwen die ik kende, ken en zal weten.
Download or read book The Throne of the Great Mogul in Dresden written by Dror Wahrman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful deciphering of an extraordinary art object, illuminating some of the biggest questions of the eighteenth century The Throne of the Great Mogul (1701–8) is a unique work of European decorative art: an intricate miniature of the court of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb depicted during the emperor’s birthday celebrations. It was created by the jeweler Johann Melchior Dinglinger in Dresden and purchased by the Saxon prince Augustus the Strong for an enormous sum. Constructed like a theatrical set made of gold, silver, thousands of gemstones, and amazing enamel work, it consists of 164 pieces that together tell a detailed story. Why did Dinglinger invest so much time and effort in making this piece? Why did Augustus, in the midst of a political and financial crisis, purchase it? And why did the jeweler secrete in it messages wholly unrelated to the prince or to the Great Mogul? In answering these questions, Dror Wahrman, while shifting scales from microhistory to global history, opens a window onto major historical themes of the period: the nature of European absolutism, the princely politics of the Holy Roman Empire, the changing meaning of art in the West, the surprising emergence of a cross-continental lexicon of rulership shared across the Eastern Hemisphere, and the enactment in jewels and gold of quirky contemporary theories about the global history of religion.
Download or read book The Trimoni Twins and the Shrunken Treasure written by Pam Smallcomb and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trimoni Twins can't wait to perform their magic show in the famed Merlin Hotel in Amsterdam. There they meet their tutor Hector's interesting and eccentric uncle Hoogaboom, who is in the business of creating miniature scale models of all kinds of things, including houses and famous buildings. They befriend Uncle Hoogaboom and soon discover that Hoogaboom's special creations are the products of more than skill and craftsmanship; he makes them with the legendary Shrinking Coin, which has been handed down through his family for generations. But the Shrinking Coin isn't his only secret, and the girls are quickly embroiled in an international mystery that can be solved only with their trademarked ingenuity and teamwork. And a little ka-poofing, of course.

This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Rarities of These Lands written by Claudia Swan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid account of Dutch seventeenth-century art and material culture against the backdrop of the geopolitics of the early modern world The seventeenth century witnessed a great flourishing of Dutch trade and culture. Over the course of the first half of the century, the northern Netherlands secured independence from the Spanish crown, and the nascent republic sought to establish its might in global trade, often by way of diplomatic relations with the Ottoman Empire and other Muslim powers. Central to the political and cultural identity of the Dutch Republic were curious foreign goods the Dutch called "rarities." Rarities of These Lands explores how these rarities were obtained, exchanged, stolen, valued, and collected, tracing their global trajectories and considering their role within the politics of the new state. Claudia Swan’s insightful, engaging analysis offers a novel and compelling account of how the Dutch Republic turned foreign objects into expressions of its national self-conception. Rarities of These Lands traces key elements of the formation of the Dutch Republic—artistic and colonialist ventures alike—offering new perspectives on this momentous period in the history of the Netherlands and its material culture.
