Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Expressionism is not only an artistic movement but a permanent tendency in art that has been characteristic of Northern Europe in times of social stress and political disturbance. The first Expressionist movement incorporated Art Nouveau and Symbolist influence, including Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Ensor and Munch. The artists of Die Brucke in Germany and, France, Rouault and Picasso (in his Blue Period), led up to the formation of the Blaue Reiter group in Munich just before the Second World War. In Vienna, Schiele and Kokoschka rose to prominence, while in Paris exiles such as Soutine, Pascin and Chagall brought Expressionism westwards. This book covers the painters, and graphic artists, sculptors and architects, writers and playwrights, cinema producers, designers and musicians of Expressionism."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Emotional Expressionism written by E. Deidre Pribram and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Emotional Expressionism: Television Seriality, the Melodramatic Mode, and Socioemotionality, E. Deidre Pribram examines emotions as social relations through the lens of dramatic television serials as contemporary melodrama. She develops the concept of socioemotionality, addressing sociocultural forms of felt experience and exploring the role of emotions in forging narrative worlds. Through detailed analyses of serials like Killing Eve, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Pribram argues that the prominent role emotions play in popular mediated narratives demonstrates the crucial impact of collective emotions—activated through aesthetic attributes—on cultural storytelling. Scholars of television, communication, media, and cultural studies will find this book of particular relevance.

Download or read book The Concise Encyclopedia of Symbolism written by Jean Cassou and published by . This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the last decade of the nineteenth century, the term Symbolism came to represent a literary, artistic and intellectual movement of great influence. Orginating in France around 1880, then spreading throughout Europe and America, it was above all a movement of protest against positivism, scientism and philistinism, and embraced all the idealist aspirations of the age, having in some respects strong links with other movements of the time such as Decadence and Art Nouveau. Symbolism turned towards the shadows of our inner nature, and explored man's fascination for the strange, the unusual, the dark, the mysterious. Closely connected with the Romantic spirit, and inseperable from Naturalism and Impressionism through its violent reaction against them, it in many ways heralded Expressionism and Surrealism-and is thus a movement found at the very heart of our contemporary culture."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Choices and Conflicts written by Hans van Stralen and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches literary existentialism (1935-1960) from a philosophical point of view and provides a semantic frame through which the primary works of this movement can be interpreted. Readings of Sartre, Sábato, Camus, Böll, De Beauvoir, Nooteboom, and others emphasize the place and themes specific to each writer within literary existentialism as a whole. One of the most original features of this study is its focus on the central notion of 'engagement' after 1960. Having highlighted its waning in postmodernism, van Stralen then demonstrates the vigorous resurgence of this pivotal concept in postcolonial discourses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defining photography is impossible. Revealing it is another matter, and that's what The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography does, with each turn of the page. History: The technical origins and evolution of photography are half of the story. The other half consists of the ways that cultural forces have transformed photography into a constellation of practices more diverse than any other mode of representation. Photographers can tell a more in-depth story through a photo like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother than a journalist ever could with the written word alone. Major themes and practitioners: Over 25 entries, many with supporting illustrations, examine the figures, trends, and ideas that have contributed most heavily to the history and current state of photography. Contemporary issues: The issues influencing photography today are more complex than at any other time in its history. Questions of ethics, desire, perception, digitization, and commercialization all vie for attention. Hear what the experts have to say about crucial issues such as whether or not the images we take today will last the test of time, and if so, how? When material is covered this skillfully, "concise is no compromise. The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography is packed with useful information, compelling ideas, and - best of all - pure pleasure.
