Book Art and Politics under Modern Dictatorships

Download or read book Art and Politics under Modern Dictatorships written by Caterina Preda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the relationship between art and politics in two contrasting modern dictatorships. Through a detailed look at the Chilean and Romanian dictatorships, it compares the different ways in which political regimes convey their view of the world through artistic means. It examines how artists help \ convey a new understanding of politics and political action during repressive regimes that are inspired by either communism or anti-communism (neoliberalism, traditionalist, conservative). This book demonstrates how artistic renderings of life during dictatorships are similar in more than one respect, and how art can help better grasp the similarities of these regimes. It reveals how dictatorships use art to symbolically construct their power, which artists can consolidate by lending their support, or deconstruct through different forms of artistic resistance.

Book R  gimes totalitaires et autoritaires

Download or read book R gimes totalitaires et autoritaires written by Juan José Linz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan José Linz est l'une des figures les plus marquantes de la sociologie politique à l'échelle mondiale. Après avoir vécu au confluent des trois cultures espagnole, allemande et nord-américaine, il est aujourd'hui professeur émérite à l'université de Yale. Il a consacré l'essentiel de ses travaux à l'enracinement aussi bien qu'à l'échec des nouveaux gouvernements démocratiques depuis la Première Guerre mondiale, et cela tant en Europe qu'en Amérique latine, en Afrique ou en Asie orientale. Pourtant, contrairement à ce que l'on observe aux Etats-Unis, en Italie ou en Espagne, ses travaux restent méconnus du public français. Ce livre, le plus important que Linz ait publié, vient combler cette lacune. Pour envisager la démocratie, il traite de façon à première vue paradoxale de la " non-démocratie ", c'est-à-dire des régimes autoritaires de toutes espèces ainsi que des deux types de systèmes totalitaires nazis et communistes, perçus les uns et les autres moins dans la perspective idéologique ou philosophique la plus courante que dans les mécanismes mêmes de leur pouvoir. L'auteur nous livre ainsi une réflexion solide sur la nature des régimes non démocratiques et développe la distinction fondamentale entre les régimes totalitaires et autoritaires. Alors que l'autoritarisme populiste renaît en Amérique latine et que le cycle des coups d'État militaires semble reprendre, en particulier en Asie du Sud-Est, cet ouvrage de référence retrouve une pleine actualité.

Book Seduction  Community  Speech

Download or read book Seduction Community Speech written by Frank Brisard and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume unites various contributions reflecting the intellectual interests exhibited by Professor Herman Parret (Institute of Philosophy, Leuven), who has continued to observe, and often critically assess, ongoing developments in pragmatics throughout his career. In fact, Parret's contributions to philosophical and empirical/linguistic pragmatics present substantive proposals in the epistemics of communication, while simultaneously offering meta-comments on the ideological premises of extant pragmatic analyses. In a lengthy introduction, an overview is provided of his achievements in promoting an integrated, “maximalist” pragmatics, as well as of the links between his own work in philosophy of language and in semiotics and aesthetics. The remaining 12 essays address relevant pragmatic themes or look into the relation between pragmatics and neighboring disciplines. They deal with grammatical deixis (Brisard, Ikegami) and mood (van der Auwera & Schalley), performativity (Harnish, Holdcroft), speech-act types and their praxeological dimensions (Roulet, Van Overbeke), Wittgensteinian language games (Marques, Parisi), cultural and intercultural identities (Vandenabeele, Verschueren), and the visual arts (Wildgen).

Book Stalin and Mao

  • Author : Lucien Bianco

  • ISBN : 9882370659
  • Pages : 476 pages

Download or read book Stalin and Mao written by Lucien Bianco and published by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's ascent to the ranks of the world's second largest economic power has given its revolution a better image than that of its Russian counterpart. Yet the two have a great deal in common. Indeed, the Chinese revolution was a carbon copy of its predecessor, until Mao became aware, not so much of the failures of the Russian model, but of its inability to adapt to an overcrowded third-world country. Yet, instead of correcting that model, Mao decided to go further and faster in the same direction. The aftershock of an earthquake may be weaker, but the Great Leap Forward of 1958 in China was far more destructive than the Great Turn of 1929 in the Soviet Union. It was conceived with an idealistic end but failed to take all the possibilities into account. China's development only took off after--and thanks to--Mao's death, once the country turned its back on the revolution. Lucien Bianco's original comparative study highlights the similarities: the all-powerful bureaucracy; the over-exploitation of the peasantry, which triggered two of the worst famines of the 20th century; control over writers and artists; repression and labor camps. The comparison of Stalin and Mao that completes the picture, leads the author straight back to Lenin and he quotes the observation by a Chinese historian that, "If at all possible, it is best to avoid revolutions altogether."

Book An Authoritarian Third Way in the Era of Fascism

Download or read book An Authoritarian Third Way in the Era of Fascism written by António Costa Pinto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a transnational and comparative approach that analyses the process of diffusion of a third way​ in selected transitions to authoritarianism in Europe and Latin America. When looking at the authoritarian wave of the 1930s, it is not difficult to see how some regimes appeared to offer an authoritarian third way somewhere between democracy and fascism. It is in this context that some Iberian dictatorships, such as those of Primo de Rivera in Spain, Salazar’s New State in Portugal and the short-lived Dollfuss regime in Austria are mentioned frequently. Especially during the 1930s, and in those parts of Europe under Axis control, these models were discussed and often adopted by several dictatorships. This book considers how and why these dictatorships on the periphery of Europe, especially Salazar’s New State in Portugal, inspired some of these regimes’ new political institutions particularly within Europe and Latin America. It pays special attention to how, as they proposed and pursued these authoritarian reforms, these domestic political actors also looked at these institutional models as suitable for their own countries. The volume is ideal for students and scholars of comparative fascism, authoritarian regimes, and European and Latin American modern history and politics.
