Download or read book Thirty Six Views of One World Trade Center written by Brenda Berkman and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reproduces artist and retired FDNY Captain Brenda Berkman's stone lithograph print series "Thirty-six Views of One World Trade Center." Berkman's idea for this print series arose as she did tours as a volunteer at the National September 11 Memorial on the former WTC site. Determined to make stone lithograph prints depicting the construction and views of the new One World Trade Center (1WTC), she studied prints other artists had done of cultural and architectural icons including Japanese artists Hiroshige and Hokusai, and French artist Henri Rivière. The prints "document" in chronological order the building of the new 1WTC -- incorporating all seasons, day and night, all boroughs and New Jersey, and a diversity of people. Including views of 1WTC from far away, up close, and even from inside, each image depicts the new 1WTC at various points in its construction and, as such, is a historical record of the rebuilding. Individual prints show other "iconic" structures (the Empire State building, Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty), aspects associated with New York City (water towers, pigeons, broken umbrellas lying on the street), and memorial sites. Creating images of iconic New York City cityscapes is challenging. "Iconic" is in the eye of the beholder - influenced by the culture, background and generation of both artist and audience. What we admire today can easily be forgotten or regarded as passé tomorrow. New York City has a constantly changing landscape/skyline. The cityscape has already changed from the time the prints were created. Berkman's lithograph series also pays homage to the first World Trade Center, reflecting its absence and encompassing the fact of its destruction in one day -- a day when the landscape of lower Manhattan was forever changed.The book includes two essays placing Berkman's prints in historical context by Jan Ramirez, Chief Curator at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and Christina Spiker, Visiting Assistant Professor of Art and Art History at St. Olaf College.

Download or read book Memory and Hope written by Alon Goshen-Gottstein and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tackles the core problem of how painful historical memories between diverse religious communities continue to impact--even poison--present-day relations. Its operative notion is the healing of memory, developed by John Paul II. Chapters explore how painful memories of yesteryear can be healed and so address some of the root causes. Strategies from six different faith traditions are brought together in what is, in some ways, a cross-religious brainstorming session that identifies tools to improve present-day relations. At the other pole of the conceptual axis of this book is the notion of hope. If memory informs our past, hope sets the horizon for our future. How does the healing of memory open new horizons for the future? And what is the notion of hope in each of our traditions that could lead to a common vision of good? Between memory and hope, this book seeks to offer a vision of healing that can serve as a resource in contemporary interfaith relations. Contributors: Rahuldeep Singh Gill, Alon Goshen-Gottstein, Maria Reis Habito, Flora A. Keshgegian, Anantanand Rambachan, Meir Sendor, Muhammad Suheyl Umar, and Michael von Bruck

Book excerpt: Can a long-forgotten memory of a horrible event suddenly resurface years later? How can we know whether a memory is true or false?

Here are unforgettable true stories of what happens when people remember what they've tried to forget -- plus one case of genuine false memory.

Download or read book Transnational American Memories written by Udo J. Hebel and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume gathers twenty original essays by experts of American memory studies from the United States and Europe. It extends discussions of U.S. American cultures of memory, commemorative identity construction, and the politics of remembrance into the topical field of transnational and comparative American studies. In the contexts of the theoretical turns since the 1990s, including prominently the pictorial and the spatial turns, and in the wake of multicultural and international conceptions of American history, the contributions to the collection explore the cultural productivity and political implications of both officially endorsed memories and practices of oppositional remembrance. Reading sites of memory situated in or related to the United States as crossroads of transnational and intercultural remembering and commemoration manifests their possibly controversial function as platforms and agents in the processes of cultural exchange and political negotiation across the spatial, temporal, and ideological trajectories that inform American Studies as Atlantic Studies, Hemispheric Studies, Pacific Studies. The interdisciplinary range of issues and materials engaged includes literary texts, personal accounts, and cultural performances from colonial times through the immediate present, the significance of war monuments and ethnic memorials in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., films about 9/11, public sculptures and the fine arts, American world's fairs as transnational sites of memory.

Download or read book Memory and Remembering in Early Irish Literature written by Sarah Künzler and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland possesses an early and exceptionally rich medieval vernacular tradition in which memory plays a key role. What attitudes to remembering and forgetting are expressed in secular early Irish texts? How do the texts conceptualise the past and what does this conceptualisation tell us about the present and future? Who mediates and validates different versions of the past and how is future remembrance guaranteed? This study approaches such questions through close readings of individual texts. It centres on three major aspects of medieval Irish memory culture: places and landscapes, the provision of information about the past by miraculously old eye-witnesses, and the personal, social and cultural impact of forgetting. The discussions shed light on the relationship between memory and forgetting and explore the connections between the past, present and future. This shows the fascinating spatio-temporal identity constructions in medieval Ireland and links the Irish texts to the broader European world. The monograph makes this rich literary sources available to an interdisciplinary audience and is of interest to both a general medievalist audience and those working in Cultural Memory Studies.

Download or read book One Station Away written by Olaf Olafsson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the critically acclaimed Olaf Olafsson, an intimate yet sweeping story of a New York neurologist and the three women who change his life An overlooked pianist who finally receives fraught success after decades of disappointment. An elusive dancer whose untimely death her fiancé is desperate to untangle. A mysterious patient who is comatose after a violent accident. These are the three women who animate Olaf Olafsson’s brilliantly rendered One Station Away. Magnus, a New York neurologist—son to one, lover to another, and doctor to a third—is the thread that binds these women’s stories together as he navigates relationships defined by compromise and misunderstanding, guilt and forgiveness, and, most of all, by an obsessive attempt to communicate—to understand and to be understood, to love and to be loved. A deeply affecting family tale, a heart-rending love story that spans the globe, and a suspenseful drama at the edge of the mystery of life and death, One Station Away is a profoundly moving story of memory, identity, and misconnection, a novel of haunting power and lasting insight.

Download or read book Charting Memory written by Stacy N. Beckwith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting Memory: Recalling Medieval Spain elaborates an interdiscursive picture of how Medieval Spain has been remembered by various Arab, Jewish, and Hispanic peoples from well before 1492 to the present. The collection breaks with traditional foci on the legacies of separate Iberian communities and their descendants, and on limited, largely textual sets of their related cultural practices. In distinct ways, this collection takes a multi-ethnic and multi-modal approach, departing from sociologist Maurice Halbwachs' premise that collective memories form not within individuals alone, but through the inner and inter-workings of actual and conceptual social milieux. The volume hereby foregrounds the constitutive roles of communities created through prayer, literary resonances, architecture, musical performance, and name giving, in shaping memories of medieval Spanish contexts as well as complex identities in the Balkans, the Near and Middle East, North Africa, Latin American, and the United States. The ten original essays in this collection, by international specialists in anthropology, ethnomusicology, literary criticism, folklore, and onomastics, are not arranged according to Arab, Jewish, and Hispanic cultural memories of medieval Spain. Instead, the collection's unique comparative emphasis illuminates ways in which various peoples have re-articulated memories relating to medieval Spain in and across physical, temporal, and social locations, with different types and degrees of impact.
