Degrees of Separation Bohumil Kubišta and the European Avant-Garde - Marie Rakušanová

In Beyond the Avant Garde, scholars from Czechia, Canada, Germany, and Hungary take a new approach to exploring the work of one of Central Europe’s most interesting modernist painters -- Bohumil Kubišta. While many art historians have consigned Kubišta’s work into an idealized Czech canon, Kubišta did not identify with a nation state clearly defined by ethnicity, language, and territorial reach. Although born and raised in the Czech lands of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, he traveled widely, maintained important international contacts, and served as a successful artillery officer in Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. Taking a transnational approach that incorporates thorough topographical research, the authors of Beyond the Avant-Garde: Bohumil Kubišta and European Modern Art attempt to redraw the current map of European modernism by exploring the artist’s subversive approach to the stylistic currents of his time. The book reveals the complex artistic, cultural, and historical relationships within early twentieth-century Europe, as Kubišta and other Central Europan artists tried to balance their admiration for the dominant artistic trends coming out of Paris with their desire to find alternative forms expression, arising from local artistic and intellectual sources. It traces Kubišta's steps through the boulevards and cafes of Paris and other ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Nationalism and Cosmopolitanism in Avant-Garde and Modernism

An examination of the cultural and artistic consequences of post-WWI nationalism in Europe.  World War I was a seismic event in Europe whose most concrete ramifications were the sweeping changes made to maps of the continent after 1918. A number of new, independent states were established in the wake of the Armistice, and these tectonic developments found varied expression in the arts, transforming the image of the continent both cartographically and artistically. This new edited collection focuses primarily on how modernism and the avant-garde responded to these geographic changes in Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, and Scandinavia. The contributors explore the clashes between the national, the transnational, and the cosmopolitan as they played out in diverse artistic genres. In many countries across Europe, the struggle for national independence—which in many cases began in the nineteenth century and culminated only after World War I—had important cultural and artistic consequences, which are only beginning to be understood. This book—copublished with Artefactum—provides a crucial new lens to rethink the methodological tools used to understand the complexity and the multiplicity of avant-garde forms in twentieth-century Europe, encouraging scholars to reconstruct global cultural history without tired nationalistic approaches.

Film Posters of the Russian Avant-Garde - Susan Pack

At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the Soviet Union of the 1920s and early 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine. Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.

Child Protection and the European Court of Human Rights

Article 1 of the European Convention of Human Rights gives children the same protection of their fundamental rights and freedoms as adults. However, there is a notable absence of specific provisions for their rights. What does this imply in practice? This interdisciplinary volume brings together leading scholars in political science, law, social work and more to examine how the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) shapes – and is shaped by – child protection litigation and mobilisation. Norway has had more child protection cases decided by the ECtHR than any other country, and so this book, a first of its kind, uses Norway as a specific focus and explores the evolving role of the Court in balancing parental rights, state authority and children’s best interests, offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of international human rights law, children’s rights and child protection policy.

Assisted Suicide and the European Convention on Human Rights - Stevie Martin

Locating assisted suicide within the broader medical end-of-life context and drawing on the empirical data available from the increasing number of permissive jurisdictions, this book provides a novel examination of the human rights implications of the prohibition on assisted suicide in England and Wales and beyond. Assisted suicide is a contentious topic and one which has been the subject of judicial and academic debate internationally. The central objective of the book is to approach the question of the ban’s compatibility with the European Convention on Human Rights afresh; freed from the constraints of the existing case law and its erroneous approach to the legal issues and selective reliance on empirical data. The book also examines the compatibility of the ban on assisted suicide with rights which have either been erroneously disregarded or not considered by either the domestic courts or the European Court of Human Rights. Having regard to human rights jurisprudence more broadly, including in the context of abortion, the research and analysis undertaken here demonstrates that the ban on assisted suicide violates the rights of a significant number of individuals to life, to freedom from torture or inhuman or degrading treatment and to private life. Such analysis does ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hungary and the European Economy in Early Modern Times - Zsigmond Paul Pach

In the age of overseas colonization and rise of intercontinental trade, Western Europe’s intercontinental trade with East-Central Europe did not diminish either, but considerably increased in both quantity and significance. Commercial relations within Europe also became a substantial factor in the emerging system of world economy. The ’Western challenge’ had a profound impact on this region, and the 15th-17th centuries proved to be a crucial period for the ’economic destiny’ of the countries of East-Central Europe, among them Hungary. The papers are now provided with supplementary comments, giving information on research and debates since the articles were first published.

The Life of Madame de Beaumount and The Life of Charlotta du Pont - Penelope Aubin

The prose fiction of Penelope Aubin offers a delightful and provocative challenge to many of our standard ways of thinking about both the “rise of the novel” and early women writers. Aubin’s fast-paced narratives highlight the persistence and vitality of romance as a form of storytelling and the centrality of teenaged girls to tales that extend far beyond the domestic and amatory modes with which they have traditionally been associated. Aubin’s resourceful heroines and the often spectacular violence they engage in in order to defend their lives and bodily integrity allow us a more expansive and exciting view of early-eighteenth-century fiction than the current classroom canon often permits. In narratives spanning the globe and featuring pirates, North African corsairs, Jacobites, shipwrecks, and seraglios, Aubin delivers fiction with roots that go back to antiquity and commitments that feel far more modern than most other texts from the period.Supplementary materials include selections from Aubin’s other work in which she reflects upon her craft and the two documents most responsible for the posthumous distortion of her reputation.

Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God - Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya

In describing al-Wabil al-Sayyib, here translated into English for the first time as Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God, the author says, ''We have mentioned [in it] nearly one hundred benefits of remembrance of God [dhikr], and the secrets of remembrance... This is a book of great usefulness.''Written in the fourteenth century by the renowned theologian Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, this treatise movingly details the many blessings of the remembrance of God. Through discussions of the ego, the nature of the body, the ephemerality of the world, the degrees of prayer, fasting, charity, and the purification of the heart, this beautifully written work is a genuine contribution to Muslim spirituality.What makes Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya on the Invocation of God of great interest is that it illustrates the spiritual life of Ibn Qayyim and of his teacher, the Hanbalite reformer Ibn Taymiyya (1263AH/1328AD).

Sport and Peace-Building in Divided Societies - Alan Tomlinson, John Sugden

Sport is a cultural institution that stands at the interface between political and civil society. In divided communities, sport has been an agent of separation, sectarian hatred and violence, but also a highly effective tool for conflict resolution, reconciliation and peace-building.In this important study, John Sugden and Alan Tomlinson draw on their extensive international experience of working with divided communities to develop a methodological and theoretical model for peace-building in sport. The book showcases original case studies from three regions of the world in which sport has played a prominent role in social deconstruction and reconstruction: Northern Ireland, Israel/Palestine and South Africa. Combining a wealth of primary and secondary data, the authors chart the rise of the contemporary Sport for Development and Peace movement (SDP) and outline an important new practice-based framework for understanding, researching and working to achieve positive social change in the SDP sector. This is essential reading for any student, researcher or practitioner with an interest in the sociology of sport, sport development, international development, peace studies or conflict resolution.

Bohumil Kubišta a Evropa - Marie Rakušanová

Kniha nabízí nové zhodnocení díla významného českého moderního umělce Bohumila Kubišty, a to způsobem, který přesahuje tradiční formát uměleckohistorické monografie. Jeho tvorbu sleduje prostřednictvím rozkrývání složitých uměleckých, kulturních a historických vztahů v rámci Evropy počátku 20. století. Nejen Kubišta, ale také další středoevropští umělci zprvu balancovali mezi obdivem k modernistickému universalismu uměleckých směrů pařížského centra a snahou nalézt alternativní moderní výraz, vyrůstající z lokální umělecké a intelektuální tradice. Kubištovo zarputilé úsilí iniciovat vznik silné, nadčasové a svébytné moderní kultury však naráželo na nepochopení domácího publika, které vygradovalo vzájemnými konflikty dravě se prosazujících frakcí pražského modernismu a definitivně se roztříštilo v chaosu první světové války. Monografie zároveň krok za krokem sleduje Kubištův pohyb po pařížských bulvárech a kavárnách či městech jako Florencie a Pula, kde se v hodnosti setníka účastnil první světové války. Využívá kartografických postupů, aby přesně zaznamenala přesuny jeho děl mezi středoevropskými centry i regionálními kulturními středisky. V Kubištově síti kontaktů totiž nefigurují jen významní evropští umělci a spolky, ale také slavná umělecká díla, která autonomně vstupují do stále nových situací a nerespektují antropocentrickou perspektivu tradičních dějin umění.

The Avant Garde - David Cottington

''The avant-garde'' is perhaps the most important and influential concept in the history of modern culture. For over a hundred years it has governed critical and historical assessment of the quality and significance of an artist or a work of art, in any medium-if these have been judged to be ''avant-garde'', then they have been worthy of consideration. If not, then by and large they have not, and neither critics nor historians have paid them much attention. In short, modern art is and has been whatever the ''avant-garde'' has made, or has said it is.But very little attempt has been made to explore why ''the avant-garde'' carries so much authority, or how it came to do so. What is more, the term remains a difficult one to define, and is often used in a variety of ways. What is the relation between ''the avant-garde'' -- that is, the social entity (the ''club'') -- and ''avant-garde'' qualities in a work of art (or design, or architecture, or any other cultural product)? What does ''avant-gardism mean? Moreover, now that contemporary art seems to have broken all taboos and is at the centre of a billion-pound art market, is there still an ''avant-garde''? ...

Aesthetic Protest Cultures: After the Avant-Garde

Aesthetic Protest Cultures: After the Avant-Garde offers a new way of analysing and theorizing the question of the avantgarde today. It is customary within art history and cultural history to argue that the avant-garde disappeared as an (anti)artistic gesture during the 1960s. The dissolution of the Situationist International in 1972 is often presented as the endpoint in the history of the avant-garde. The implosion of the ''68 revolt - quickly in France, after a long process of revolt and counter-revolt in countries like Italy - effectively ended the attempt to use art as a vehicle for a transformation of capitalist society. This book contributes to the discussion of the avant-garde today by discussing whether it is still relevant for a contemporary anti-systemic critique and analysing different instances where the avantgarde has creeped into protests and social experiments outside art and art institutions. Includes essays from Mikkel Bolt Rasmussen, Esther Leslie, Abigail Susik, Natasha Gasparian, Marina Vishmidt, Yves Citton, and Gene Ray.

At the Crossroads of the Avant-Garde - Lars Kleberg

Rediscovering a lost luminary of modernism and the Russian avant-garde This kaleidoscopic biography offers readers a compelling microhistory of a revolutionary moment in art and politics through its portrait of an enigmatic but influential figure: Ivan Aksyonov authored the first book-length study about Pablo Picasso, translated Elizabethan drama, and was a literary adviser to Vsevolod Meyerhold, as well as a teacher of Sergei Eisenstein in Meyerhold's institute and an important critic, before dying in 1935. Lars Kleberg traces Aksyonov's influences, interlocutors, and creative output in multiple genres and media to bring a complicated and fascinating character back to life. Kleberg invites us to reconsider the avant-garde and to understand the political and artistic ferment of the revolutionary era and its aftermath in new, deeper ways.

How to Be Avant-Garde - Morgan Falconer

The strange story of the twentieth-century artists who sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. “Art has poisoned our life,” proclaimed Dutch artist and De Stijl cofounder Theo van Doesburg. Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of World War I, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. Following the evolution of these revolutionary groups, How to Be Avant-Garde charts its pioneers and radical ideas. From Paris to New York, from Zurich to Moscow and Berlin, avant-gardists challenged the confines of the definition of art along with the confines of the canvas itself. Art historian Morgan Falconer starts with the dynamic Futurist founder Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose manifesto extolling speed, destruction, and modernity seeded avant-gardes across Europe. In turn, Dadaists Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings sought to replace art with political cabaret, and the Surrealists tried to exchange it for tools to plumb the unconscious. He guides us through the Russian Constructivists with their adventures in advertising and utopianism and then De Stijl with the geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian.

L'Avant-garde architecturale en Tchécoslovaquie 1918-1939 - Alena Kubova

"Le logement minimal est aujourd'hui le probl?me central de l'architecture moderne." Karel Teige, Le Logement minimal (1930). "(…) En Tchécoslovaquie, le groupe Devetsil, fondé en 1920, constitue le noyau du mouvement de l'avant-garde. Dans cette république nouvellement créée, la question d'un art tch?que rejoint la volonté de faire partie d'un mouvement européeen. (...) Sans hésitation sur ses fondements idéologiques, l'avant-garde centre son programme sur le logement minimal. L'architecture d'avant-garde se distingue ainsi de l'art. A la fin des années 20, le fonctionnalisme devient essentiel ? l'architecture. A la fin des annes 30, la solution est toujours le fonctionnalisme, comme si le concept de la modernité n'appartenait qu'? lui."

Through the Eys of Franz Kafka - Marie Rakušanová, Nicholas Sawicki

Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka: Between Image and Language traces the writer Franz Kafka's interest in modern art and visual culture. Examining Kafka's relationship to visuality, the book explores the diversity of images that surrounded Kafka in his home city of Prague-a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences. It maps how Kafka engaged with local painting and sculpture, architecture, and monuments, and also with an array of popular visual media and phenomena from illustrated magazines and advertising to film, photography, dance, and cabaret. Kafka's attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student.

The Foreign Policy of the European Union - Stephan and College of Europe, Belgium) Keukeleire, Tom Delreux

Keukeleire and Delreux demonstrate the scope and diversity of the European Union''s foreign policy, showing that EU foreign policy is broader than the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy, and that areas such as trade, development, environment and energy are inextricable elements of it. This book offers a comprehensive and critical account of the EU''s key foreign relations – with its neighbourhood, with the US, China and Russia, and with emerged powers – and argues that the EU''s foreign policy needs to be understood not only as a response to crises and conflicts, but also as a means of shaping international structures and influencing long-term processes.This third edition reflects recent changes and trends in EU foreign policy as well as the international context in which it operates, addressing issues such as the increasingly contested international order, the conflict in Ukraine, the migration and refugee crisis, Brexit and Covid-19. The book not only clarifies the formal procedures in EU foreign policy-making but also elucidates how it works in practice. The third edition includes new sections and boxes on ‘strategic autonomy’, European arms exports, the EU’s external representation, the ‘Brussels Effect’, and decentring and gender approaches ...

Circus and the Avant-Gardes

This book examines how circus and circus imaginary have shaped the historical avant-gardes at the beginning of the 20th century and the cultures they help constitute, to what extent this is a mutual shaping, and why this is still relevant today. This book aims to produce a better sense of the artistic work and cultural achievements that have emerged from the interplay of circus and avant-garde artists and projects, and to clarify both their transhistorical and trans-medial presence, and their scope for interdisciplinary expansion. Across 14 chapters written by leading scholars – from fields as varied as circus, theatre and performance studies, art, media studies, film and cultural history – some of which are written together with performers and circus practitioners, the book examines to what extent circus and avant-garde connections contribute to a better understanding of early 20th century artistic movements and their enduring legacy, of the history of popular entertainment, and the cultural relevance of circus arts. Circus and the Avant-Gardes elucidates how the realm of the circus as a model, or rather a blueprint for modernist experiment, innovation and (re)negotiation of bodies, has become fully integrated in our ways of perceiving avant-gardes today. The book does not ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Bohumil Kubišta a Evropa (978-80-246-4721-0)

Kniha - autor Marie Rakušanová, 700 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Kniha nabízí nové zhodnocení díla významného českého moderního umělce Bohumila Kubišty, a to způsobem, který přesahuje tradiční formát uměleckohistorické monografie. Jeho tvorbu sleduje prostřednictvím rozkrývání složitých uměleckých, kulturních a historických vztahů v rámci Evropy počátku 20. století. Nejen Kubišta, ale také další středoevropští umělci zprvu balancovali mezi obdivem k modernistickému universalismu uměleckých směrů pařížského centra a snahou nalézt alternativní moderní výraz, vyrůstající z lokální umělecké a intelektuální tradice. Kubištovo zarputilé úsilí iniciovat vznik silné, nadčasové a svébytné moderní kultury však naráželo na nepochopení domácího publika, které vygradovalo vzájemnými konflikty dravě se prosazujících frakcí pražského modernismu a definitivně se roztříštilo v chaosu první světové války. Monografie zároveň krok za krokem sleduje Kubištův pohyb po...
