The Paradigm Case: The Cinema of Hitchcock and the Contemporary Visual Arts
ISBN: 9783034317801 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) With the migration of cinema into the art gallery, artists have been turning, with remarkable regularity and ingenuity, to Alfred Hitchcock-related images, sequences and iconography. The world of Hitchcock's cinema - a classical cinema of formal unities and narrative coherence - represents more than the spectre of a supposedly dead art form: it transcends its own filmic and institutional contexts, becoming an important audio-visual lexicon of desire, loss, mystery and suspense.
Through a detailed study of the Hitchcock-related work of artist-filmmakers Matthias Muller and Christoph... With the migration of cinema into the art gallery, artists have been turning, with remarkable regularity and ingenuity, to Alfred Hitchcock-related im...

Sleeping Beauties in Victorian Britain: Cultural, Literary and Artistic Explorations of a Myth
ISBN: 9783034317450 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Artists, scientists and the wider public of the Victorian era all seem to have shared a common interest in the myth of the Briar Rose and its contemporary implications, from the Pre-Raphaelites and late Victorian aesthetes to the fascinated crowds who visited Ellen Sadler, the real-life 'Sleeping Maid' who is reported to have slept from 1871 to 1880.
The figure of the beautiful reclining female sleeper is a recurring theme in the Victorian imagination, invoking visual, literary and erotic connotations that contribute to a complex range of readings involving aesthetics, gender definitions...

Critical Exchange: Art Criticism of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries in Russia and Western Europe
ISBN: 9783039115563 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This collection examines the development of art criticism across Russia and Western Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Art criticism articulated local ideas about functions of art but, more importantly, it also became one of the most responsive fields in which a larger, transnational European exchange of ideas about the role of critical discourse could take place. Art criticism of this period was also rich in rhetorical strategies and textual diversity.
International contributors to this volume, who include art historians, cultural historians, and specialists in critical... This collection examines the development of art criticism across Russia and Western Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Art criticism a...

Genteel Mavericks: Professional Women Sculptors in Victorian Britain
ISBN: 9783034307567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Sculpture was no occupation for a lady in Victorian Britain. Yet between 1837 and 1901 the number of professional female sculptors increased sixteen-fold. The four principal women sculptors of that era are the focus of this book. Once known for successful careers marked by commissions from the royal family, public bodies and private individuals, they are forgotten now. This book brings them back to light, addressing who they were, how they negotiated middle-class expectations and what kind of impact they had on changing gender roles.
Based on their unpublished letters, papers and diaries... Sculpture was no occupation for a lady in Victorian Britain. Yet between 1837 and 1901 the number of professional female sculptors increased sixteen-f...

Trash Culture: Objects and Obsolescence in Cultural Perspective
ISBN: 9783039115532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, concerns about the environment and the future of global capitalism have dominated political and social agendas worldwide. The culture of excess underlying these concerns is particularly evident in the issue of trash, which for environmentalists has been a negative category, heavily implicated in the destruction of the natural world. However, in the context of the arts, trash has long been seen as a rich aesthetic resource and, more recently, particularly under the influence of anthropology and archaeology, it has been explored as a form...

Bodies of Poems: Graphic Poetics in a Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9783039113439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) How is meaning created by a poem? Through the invisible ideas and thoughts conveyed by the text or through the physical presence of book, paper and print? In Bodies of Poems the author argues that the material properties of poetic texts are meaningful in their own right but often ignored and made invisible in poetry criticism. Through a number of examples ranging from the introduction of print technology in the fifteenth century to late twentieth-century poets such as Adrienne Rich and Seamus Heaney, this study examines the ways in which poems are products of the contemporary state of...

Ford Madox Ford: Vision, Visuality and Writing
ISBN: 9783039113965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book spans the most significant phases of Ford s literary production, from his art criticism to his main modernist novels: The Good Soldier, Parade s End, The Rash Act and Henry for Hugh. The aim is to explore the uncharted territory of Ford s interest in the scopic field, claiming that his investigation of the optical unconscious is his most original contribution to the modernist concern for the stream of consciousness.
This is the first in-depth study of Ford s interest in the gaze and how it is related to writing, painting, music, sculpture,... This book spans the most significant phases of Ford s literary production, from his art criticism to his main modernist novels: The Good Sol...

Performativity in the Gallery: Staging Interactive Encounters
ISBN: 9783034309660 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book coincides with an increase in the programming of live art elements in many galleries and museums. Traditional art history has, however, been wary of live art's interdisciplinarity and its tendency to encourage increased formal and conceptual risk taking. Time-based performances have challenged the conventions of documentation and the viewer's access to the art experience. This book questions the canon of art history by exploring participation, liveness, interactivity, digital and process-based performative practices and performance for the camera, as presented in gallery spaces....

Transits: The Nomadic Geographies of Anglo-American Modernism
ISBN: 9783039119493 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The intersection between space and narrative has often aroused critical interest, especially in the cross-fertilization of language and imagination. In Modernist avant-garde culture this activity was particularly intense and turbulent. Not only did science and technology undergo sudden and rapid developments in the early twentieth century, but the powerful geopolitical movements of the time effectively redrew the maps of the Western world. The essays in this collection address the ways in which three generations of British and American artists responded to these ontological changes, as they...

Dante in the Nineteenth Century: Reception, Canonicity, Popularization
ISBN: 9783039119790 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The nineteenth century saw the reinvention of Dante as a Romantic and national poet, his recognition as the canonical central man of all the world and the Commedia s diffusion as a widely accessible text. Addressing these aspects of Dante s presence during a key period of his modern reception, this collection of essays draws upon a number of papers given at the international conference Dante in the Nineteenth Century, held at the University of York in July 2008, and combines the work of established experts in the field with that of younger scholars who are breaking important new ground...

Spiritual Identities: Literature and the Post-Secular Imagination
ISBN: 9783039119257 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This collection of essays considers the return of the religious in contemporary literary studies. In the twenty-first century it is now possible to detect a new sacred turn in thought and writing. For some writers, this post-secular identity plays itself out in both a recuperation of religious traditions (Catholicism, Puritanism, Judaism) and a re-invention of the religious imaginary (apophaticism, messianism, apocalypticism, fundamentalism). In literary studies, the implications of the post-secular are revitalizing critical engagement with canonical works and fuelling the reclaiming of...

Proust's Imaginary Museum: Reproductions and Reproduction in À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu
ISBN: 9783039111244 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This study of Marcel Proust s creative imagination examines an aspect of the novel that has hitherto been largely overlooked: the author s dependence on secondary visual sources. Proust made constant use of reproductions photographs, engravings, postcards, illustrations in books as sources of reference and as narrative devices in their own right. Furthermore, he consistently chose to use reproductions in preference to originals, whether people, places or works of art. Bringing together for the first time a mass of factual information documenting Proust s use of second-hand images, the author...

The Exhibit in the Text: The Museological Practices of Literature
ISBN: 9783039113774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Interest in collecting and museology has increased exponentially over recent years, both in academic circles and the broader cultural arena, but the relationship between museums, collections and literature has not yet been fully investigated. This book examines some crucial phases of this interaction from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Moving from a time of endless enthusiasm for exhibiting and classifying to the modern period, dominated by turbulence and loss, the essays in this collection investigate changing modes of museology and literary texts that articulate the concepts of...

Immaterial Culture: Literature, Drama and the American Radio Play, 1929-1954
ISBN: 9783034309776 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Immaterial Culture engages with texts that are now largely unread and dismissed as trivial or dubious: the vast body of plays thrillers, narrative poetry, comedy sketches, documentaries and adaptations of literature and drama that aired on American network radio during the medium s so-called golden age.
For a quarter century, from the stock market crash of 1929 to the introduction of the TV dinner in 1954, radio plays enjoyed an exposure unrivalled by stage, film, television and print media.

Collecting and Appreciating: Henry James and the Transformation of Aesthetics in the Age of Consumption
ISBN: 9783034301633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book examines the role and the meaning of collecting in the fiction of Henry James. Emerging as a refined consumerist practice at the end of the nineteenth century, collecting not only set new rules for appreciating art, but also helped to shape the aesthetic tenets of major literary movements such as naturalism and aestheticism. Although he befriended some of the greatest collectors of the age, in his narrative works James maintained a sceptical, if not openly critical, position towards collecting and its effects on appreciation. Likewise, he became increasingly reluctant to follow the...

Networks of Stone explores the social and creative processes of sculpture production in Athens in the sixth and fifth centuries BC. Using the concept of art worlds, it analyses the contributions and interactions of all those who were in some way part of creating the sculpture set up in the sanctuaries and cemeteries of Athens. The choices that were made not only by patrons and sculptors but also by traders in various materials and a range of craftsmen all influenced the final appearance of these works of art. By looking beyond the sculptor to the network of craftsmen and patrons...

This book is concerned with the presence of familiar objects in unfamiliar places. It examines the literary practice of inserting imaginary photographs of art, architecture, and people into novels and short stories. These photographs are fictive objects, although some, especially those of art and architecture, have equivalents in real life. The book examines the presence of invented photographs in the writings of six authors who made extensive use of this practice. The ?rst part of the book concentrates on E. M. Forster, while also including some discussion of imaginary photographs in...
