Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Born too late to see the war and too early to forget it.' So writes Reiner Schürmann in Origins, a startlingly personal account of life as a young man from postwar Germany in the 1960s. Schürmann's semi-autobiographical protagonist is incapable of escaping a past he never consciously experienced. All around him are barely concealed reminders of Nazi-inflicted death and destruction. His own experiences of displacement and rootlessness, too, are the burden of a cruel collective past. His story presents itself as a continuous quest for-and struggle to free himself from-his origins. The hero is haunted relentlessly by his fractured identity-in his childhood at his father's factory, where he learns of the Nazi past through a horrible discovery; in an Israeli kibbutz, where, after a few months of happiness, he is thrown out for being a German; in postwar Freiburg, where he reencounters a friend who escaped the Nazi concentration camps; and finally, in the United States, where his attempts at a fresh start almost fail to exorcise the ghosts of the past.Originally published in French in 1976, Origins was the winner of the coveted Prix Broquette-Gonin of the Académie Francaise. In close collaboration with the author, this translation was created in the early 1990s, but Schürmann's premature death in 1993 prevented its publication process and, as a result, one of the most important literary accounts of the conflicted process of coming to terms with the Holocaust and Germany's Nazi past has been unavailable to English readers until now. Candid and frank, filled with fury and caustic sarcasm, Origins offers insight into a generation caught between disappointment and rage, alignment and rebellion, guilt and obsession with the past.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Foreign Exchange raises critical questions around the scientific and educational remit of an ethnographic museum in Germany and highlights its unspoken relationship to global trade. This publication investigates the historical accumulation and commodification of artefacts and the representation of the human body as seen on ethnographic photographs. New material developed out of artistic research in the Weltkulturen Labor is presented together with unpublished scientific photography. Extended conversations between internationally renowned anthropologists, art historians, curators and artists offer new connections between past and present. Foreign Exchange responds to current interest in the remediation of ethnographic collections, colonial history, historical archives, and interdisciplinary curatorial practice.Contributing authors and artists: Peggy Buth, Minerva Cuevas, Tom McCarthy, Gabriel Gbadamosi, David Lau, David Weber-Krebs, Luke Willis-Thompson.

sonst. Bücher. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Affect, or the process by which emotions come to be embodied, is a burgeoning area of interest in both the humanities and the sciences. For »Timing of Affect«, Marie-Luise Angerer, Bernd Bösel, and Michaela Ott have assembled leading scholars to explore the temporal aspects of affect through the perspectives of philosophy, music, film, media, and art, as well as technology and neurology. The contributions address possibilities for affect as a capacity of the body; as an anthropological inscription and a primary, ontological conjunctive and disjunctive process as an interruption of chains of stimulus and response; and as an arena within cultural history for political, media, and psychopharmacological interventions. Showing how these and other temporal aspects of affect are articulated both throughout history and in contemporary society, the editors then explore the implications for the current knowledge structures surrounding affect today.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Images have always played a vital role in political communication and in the visualization of power structures and hierarchies. They gain even more importance in situations where non-verbal communication prevails: In the negotiation processes between two (or more) different cultures, the language of the visual is often thought of as the most effective way to acquaint (and overpower) the others with one's own principles, beliefs, and value systems. Scores of these asymmetrical exchange situations have taken place in the Portuguese overseas empire since its gradual expansion in the 16th century.This book offers new insights into the broad and differentiated spectrum of functions images could assume in political contexts in those areas dominated by the Portuguese in early modern times. How were objects and artifacts staged and handled to generate new layers of meaning and visualize political ideas and concepts And what were the respective reasons, means, and effects of the visualization of Portuguese power and politics.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Das Auftauchen von Figuren, die an einem dargestellten Ereignis partizipieren, die man jedoch nicht mit Namen benennen kann, zeugt von einem Wandel im Verhältnis zwischen Bildern und ihren Betrachtern. Diese Betrachterfiguren agieren als Vermittler zwischen Zeiten, Personen und Inhalten. So schart sich auf den sogenannten 'volkreichen' Kalvarienbergen Publikum um Maria, die Apostel, Longinus und die Schergen; an Grabmälern sind Trauernde zu sehen und auf Kanzelreliefs richten Einzelpersonen ihren Blick auf den Betrachter; auf byzantinischen Darstellungen des Marientodes sowie dann bei Duccio und Giotto folgen Trauernde dem Sarkophag der toten Maria. Während es bereits relativ früh die 'Anderen' gab, z.B. als Gruppen von Fremden, Armen, Kranken, Andersgläubigen oder Feinden, gehören die Figuren der Betrachter zunehmend der Gemeinschaft der zentralen Protagonisten im Bild an. Diese Figuren fördern nicht nur die Aufmerksamkeit für das Ereignis im Bild und überbrücken Zeitdifferenzen, sie fordern auch selbst Aufmerksamkeit ein. Inwieweit lassen diese Erweiterungen des Personals, das die Protagonisten begleitet, Rückschlüsse auf veränderte Bedingungen in der Welt außerhalb des Bildes zu Der vorliegende Band möchte diese Veränderung aus der Perspektive des westlichen Mittelalters, der byzantinischen Kunst, der islamischen Kunst und auch mit Blick auf ihre Vor- und Nachgeschichte diskutieren.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The photography book 'Kracauer. Photographic Archive' is a collection of previously unpublished photographic material from the estate of the sociologist, journalist and film theorist Siegfried Kracauer. Portrait, city and landscape photographs give insights into the life of the writer and his wife Elisabeth, known as Lili - a life marked by flight and exile. The photographic portraits of Kracauer from the 1930s on were all taken by his wife, while prints, contact sheets, rolls of film and written material reveal that Kracauer took pictures himself, too. Neither Kracauer nor his wife was a professional photographer, yet their photos testify to the aesthetic and technical achievements of their collaborative photographic practice: the eye of the great photography theorist combined with that of the art historian and observant, self-taught photographer Lili Kracauer. The book also tells the story of Lili and Siegfried Kracauer's close working relationship - from the early 1930s following their marriage in Germany, to exile in Paris and the war and post-war years in the USA.
