forgotten times allan hailstone

The 1950s and 1960s saw great change across the British Isles, but there were also huge variations in everyday life in the streets and countryside around the UK and Ireland at the time. In Forgotten Times: The British Isles in the 1950s and 1960s, Allan Hailstone presents a photographic portrait of this era from his travels around Scotland, England, Wales, Ireland and some of the other smaller islands making up the British Isles. To many readers today, this time seems remarkably far away, with many of our modern conveniences not yet imagined. This nostalgic look at a fascinating era will be of interest to all those who remember the 1950s and 1960s well, or those who wish to have a window into that world.

With nearly 200 unique images photographed on the streets of Berlin by the author between 1959 and 1966, Berlin in the Cold War depicts a city which demonstrated the conflict between East and West at that time like no other. The photographs throw into focus the situation existing both before the building of the Berlin Wall, when anyone could move freely between the two halves of the city, and after its construction, when most Westerners could, with some difficulty, make the crossing. Allan Hailstone took many photographs during several visits in those years, some surreptitiously, despite restrictions placed on photography in East Berlin. These photographs provide a taste of this once dramatically divided city.

Edgar Poe was born the son of itinerant actors on January 19th, 1809 in Boston, Massachusets. Abandoned by his father and the later death of his mother, he was taken into the foster care of John Allan, a Virginia tobacco farmer. Now styled as Edgar Allan Poe, he distinguished himself at the University of Virginia but was equally adept at collecting debts from his assiduous gambling.His stepfather’s disapproval shattered their fragile relationship and Poe left home to seek his fortune. In 1836 he married his cousin Virginia but despite his prolific activities – journalism, poetry, lecturing, short stories, publishing, criticism and experimentation with fictional genres, including the detective novel which he virtually invented with the publication of The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841) – he received scant recognition for his efforts until the publication of The Raven in 1845. The poem’s instant popularity gave him a new visibility in literary circles, but his personal situation remained desperate: poverty, illness, drink, and the physical decline and ultimate death of Virginia in 1847 led to his untimely and premature decline.In 1849 he was found sick, injured and semi-conscious in a Baltimore tavern.

‘When I am disturbed, even angry, gardening has been a therapy. When I don''t want to talk I turn to Plot 29, or to a wilder piece of land by a northern sea. There, among seeds and trees, my breathing slows; my heart rate too. My anxieties slip away.’As a young boy in 1960s Plymouth, Allan Jenkins and his brother, Christopher, were rescued from their care home and fostered by an elderly couple. There, the brothers started to grow flowers in their riverside cottage. They found a new life with their new mum and dad.As Allan grew older, his foster parents were never quite able to provide the family he and his brother needed, but the solace he found in tending a small London allotment echoed the childhood moments when he grew nasturtiums from seed.Over the course of a year, Allan digs deeper into his past, seeking to learn more about his absent parents. Examining the truths and untruths that he’d been told, he discovers the secrets to why the two boys were in care. What emerges is a vivid portrait of the violence and neglect that lay at the heart of his family.A beautifully written, haunting memoir, Plot 29 ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Americký fotograf, aktivista, historik a teoretik umění Allan Sekula (1951-2013) si za svůj celoživotní úkol vytyčil nově promyslet dokumentární tradici a umělecký realismus, zejména pokud jde o obnovu jejich spojitosti s radikální levicovou politikou. Ve svém díle se zabýval především kritickými dějinami fotografie, zobrazováním ekonomických vztahů a práce v podmínkách globálního kapitalismu nebo strukturálním násilím či ideologií neoliberalismu. V eseji Fotografie mezi prací a kapitálem z roku 1983 se Allan Sekula věnuje nejen historii zobrazování těžby a pracujících v podzemí, ale i využití fotografie průmyslem jako nástroje dohledu nad manuální prací a budování veřejného obrazu průmyslových podniků. Problematiku fotografie jako práce a způsobů, jakými je práce zobrazována, rozvíjí autor v textu Věčná estetika pracovních gest, původně vydaném roku 1996. Obě eseje představují stále aktuální četbu a mimo jiné předjímají myšlenky a témata relevantní jak v kontextu soudobého materiálního obratu probíhajícího v umění a sociálních vědách, tak v rámci debaty o samotné umělecké činnosti jako práci.
