Download or read book The Dance Macabre New Edition written by Dr. Steven Parris Ward and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dance Macabre is an epic poem which deals in one respect with the universality of death. Irrespective of one’s class in life, the dance of death unites all. The poem may be linked to a tradition found in many cultures: for Danse Macabre (French), Danza Macabra (Italian and Spanish), or Totentanz (German), were late-medieval allegories which invariably represented a personified Death leading a row of dancing figures to the grave; typically with an emperor, king,youngster, and beautiful girl in the entourage. The intention of such tales and images remind people of how fragile their lives are, and how vain are the glories of earthly life. Its origins derive from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest artistic examples being similar to the one depicted onthe cover, which is adapted from an image found in a cemetery in Paris circa 1424.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dance of Death Danse Macabre Hans Holbein With an introductory note by Austin Dobson Dance of Death, also called Danse Macabre, is an artistic genre of late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the Dance of Death unites all. The Danse Macabre consists of the dead or personified Death summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. They were produced as mementos mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and how vain were the glories of earthly life. Its origins are postulated from illustrated sermon texts; the earliest recorded visual scheme was a now-lost mural in the Saints Innocents Cemetery in Paris dating from 1424 to 1425.

Download or read book Danse Macabre and Other Stories written by Halina Brunning and published by Phoenix Publishing House. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Danse Macabre and Other Stories: A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Global Dynamics examines the world using a systemic and psychoanalytic lens, including concepts of splitting, separation, projection, displacement, and the return of the repressed. They consider what impact the disappearance of some iconic and psychic containers has on individuals' functioning and why we choose populist leaders to shore up our own social defences. They question why the world feels so threatening to the twenty-first-century linked-in citizens when the objective facts suggest that overall much is improving for the global citizen. Building on their previous work, Halina Brunning and Olya Khaleelee have created a coherent framework in order to conceptualise global dynamics within a matrix form. The matrix contains dialectic dynamic forces for both good and evil, love and hate, creation and destruction. They take a closer look at the plethora of phenomena which they see arising therein. Whilst the matrix holds steady, inside it is a world in constant flux, reconfiguring and rearranging itself, as if in a kaleidoscope, with inevitable and unavoidable turbulence, but - Brunning and Khaleelee hypothesise - with an underlying pattern that is available to be discerned and studied. Aware of this turbulence, Brunning and Khaleelee wish to share their view of the world in the hope of offering a containing reflection, capable of calming the nerves of the readers as well as their own.
