Download or read book The Diplomats World written by Markus Mösslang and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-09-11 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume provides an original perspective on diplomacy and diplomatic practice between the Congress of Vienna and the outbreak of the First World War. By focusing on cultural dimensions, The Diplomats' World aims to give a broader picture of diplomacy than usual. While most modern works on foreign affairs concentrate on the functional role of diplomacy and marginalize the nature of diplomatic services, this volume links form and content, presenting diplomacy as both a real world experience and a structural element in international relations. Drawing on the diplomats' many and varied encounters between their own individual and professional circles and the 'wider world', it discusses diplomatic history as part of the cultural history of politics. Among the topics covered are the operating norms of the diplomatic establishment, the influence of the public sphere on the conduct of diplomacy, and the role of etiquette and protocol in diplomatic encounters."--BOOK JACKET.

Book More than One Picture

    Book Details:
  • Author : Felix Thürlemann
  • Publisher : Getty Publications
  • Release : 2019-11-26
  • ISBN : 1606066250
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book More than One Picture written by Felix Thürlemann and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking and original book argues that hyperimages—calculated displays of images on walls or pages—have played a major role in the history of art. In exhibitions, illustrated art books, and classrooms, artworks or their photographic reproductions are arranged as calculated ensembles that have their own importance. In this volume, Felix Thürlemann develops a theory of this type of image use, arguing that with each new gathering of images, an art object is reinterpreted. These hyperimages have played a major role in the history of art since the seventeenth century, and the main actors of the art world are all hyperimage creators. In part because the hyperimage is not permanently available, this interplay of images has been largely unexplored. Through case studies organized within three groups of producers—collectors and curators, art historians, and artists—Thürlemann proposes a theory of the hyperimage, explores the semiotic nature of this plural image use, and discusses the arrangement and interpretation of such pictures in order to illuminate the phenomenon of Western image culture from the beginning of the seventeenth century until today. His analysis of the ways in which images are assembled and associated provides a crucial context for the explosive present-day deployment of images on digital devices.

Book Ars nova

    Book Details:
  • Author : John L. Nádas
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2017-07-05
  • ISBN : 1351575805
  • Pages : 594 pages

Download or read book Ars nova written by John L. Nádas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early fourteenth century, musicians in France and later Italy established new traditions of secular and sacred polyphony. This ars nova, or "new art," popularized by theorists such as Philippe de Vitry and Johannes de Muris was the among the first of many later movements to establish the music of the present as a clean break from the past. The rich music of this period, by composers such as Guillaume de Machaut and Francesco Landini, is not only beautiful, but also rewards deep study and analysis. Yet contradictions and gaps abound in the ars nova of the fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries-how do we read this music? how do we perform this music? what was the cultural context of these performances? These problems are well met by the ingenuity of approaches and solutions found by scholars in this volume. The twenty-seven articles brought together reflect the broad methodological and chronological range of scholarly inquiry on the ars nova.

Book The Rise of European Music  1380 1500

Download or read book The Rise of European Music 1380 1500 written by Reinhard Strohm and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-17 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed and comprehensive survey of music in the late middle ages and early Renaissance. By limiting its scope to the 120 years which witnessed perhaps the most dramatic expansion of our musical heritage, the book responds, in the 1990s, to the tremendous increase in specialised research and public awareness of that period. Three of the four main Parts (I, II, IV) describe the development of polyphony and its cultural contexts in many European countries, from the successors of Machaut (d. 1377) to the achievements of Josquin des Prez and his contemporaries working in Renaissance Italy around 1500. Part III, by contrast, illustrates the musical life of the institutions, and musical practices outside the realm of composed polyphony that were traditional and common all over Europe. The book proposes fresh views in each chapter, discussing dozens of musical examples adducing well-known and hitherto unknown documents, and referring to and evaluating the most recent scholarship in the field.

Book Friedrich Gilly

    Book Details:
  • Author : Friedrich Gilly
  • Publisher : Getty Publications
  • Release : 1994-09-13
  • ISBN : 0892362804
  • Pages : 242 pages

Download or read book Friedrich Gilly written by Friedrich Gilly and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1994-09-13 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Friedrich Gilly died in 1800 at age twenty-eight, his architectural career had spanned less than a decade and construction of his major designs was incomplete. Nevertheless, his ideas so strongly influenced Berlin architecture of the next century that he is now widely regarded as the founder of Berlin's distinct architectural tradition. By uniting Rationalist and Neoclassicist principles, his designs achieve an artistic expression that is at once visually dramatic and formally pure. Today, his theories are known primarily through the work of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, his student who became one of Berlin's primary modern architects. In addition to presenting five of Gilly's most influential essays, this volume contains previously unpublished archival records that clarify the intellectual context in which Gilly developed his thoughts on architecture. A catalog of Gilly’s personal library is especially illuminating.
