Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Hot Art Cold War – Northern and Western European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 is one of two text anthologies that trace the reception of American art in Europe during the Cold War era through primary sources. With the exception of those originally published in English the majority of these texts are translated into English for the first time from eight languages and are introduced by scholarly essays. They offer a representative selection of the diverse responses to American art in Great Britain Ireland France Belgium the Netherlands West Germany (FRG) Austria Switzerland Denmark Norway Sweden and Finland. There was no single European discourse as attitudes to American art were determined by a wide range of ideological political social cultural and artistic positions that varied considerably across the European nations. This volume and its companion Hot Art Cold War – Southern and Eastern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 offer the reader a unique opportunity to compare how European art writers introduced and explained contemporary American art to their many and varied audiences. Whilst many are fluent in one or two foreign languages few are able to read all twenty-five languages represented in the two volumes. These ground-breaking publications significantly enrich the fields of American art studies and European art criticism. This book together with its companion volume Hot Art Cold War – Southern and Eastern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990 is a joint initiative of the Terra Foundation for American Art and the editors of the journal Art in Translation at the University of Edinburgh. The journal launched in 2009 publishes English-language translations of the most significant texts on art and visual cultures presently only available only in their source language. It is committed to widening the perspectives of art history making it more pluralist in terms of its authors viewpoints and subject matter. | Hot Art Cold War – Western and Northern European Writing on American Art 1945-1990

Shadow the architectural power of withholding light

Shadow the architectural power of withholding light

Each of these Analysing Architecture Notebooks is devoted to a particular theme in understanding the rich and varied workings of architecture. They can be thought of as addenda to the foundation volume Analysing Architecture which first appeared in 1997 and has subsequently been enlarged in three further editions. Examining these extra themes as a series of Notebooks rather than as additional chapters in future editions allows greater space for more detailed exploration of a wider variety of examples whilst avoiding the risk of the original book becoming unwieldy. Shadows may be insubstantial but they are nevertheless an important element in architecture. In prehistoric times we sought shade as a refuge from the hot sun and chilling rain. Through history architects have used shadows to draw to mould form to paint pictures to orchestrate atmosphere to indicate the passing of time … as well as to identify place. Sometimes shadow can be the substance of architecture. | Shadow the architectural power of withholding light

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity

This book explores the consequences of the latest political shifts in Central Eastern Europe: the rise of right-wing parties and among other things politics becoming more invested in history. These phenomena coincide and overlap with the democratisation of history by turning the past into a hot topic persistently present in the public sphere and often evoking strong emotions. Ethnographic research (conducted in 2012-2016) focusing on how World War II reenactors experience the past serves as the basis to analyse the ways in which the group uses the widespread often institutionalised interest in history to – on the one hand – become involved in debates on World War II and the remembrance thereof and – on the other – to authentically experience this past. The volume therefore analyses how physical the process of creating and experiencing grassroots visions of the past is and how these visions interact with the public discourse about the past. Reenactors’ ability to marry the often-contradictory orders of historical truth authenticity and representation is explored. Moreover Baraniecka-Olszewska analyses how the reenactors overcome various obstacles on their way towards authentic experiences performing history through their bodies. | World War II Historical Reenactment in Poland The Practice of Authenticity
