Museums and Popular Culture
ISBN: 9780718502270 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Museums were originally established as temples of high culture, intended to reform and "civilize" the masses. In recent years, however, museums have started to display a broader slate of subject matters and cultural histories. But has the portrayal of popular culture in museums been fair? Museums and Popular Culture argues that popular culture is often represented in our society as a bland subset of leisure activities. Offering a substantial review of museums past and present, Kevin Moore proposes a new, theoretically informed, and dynamic portrayal of popular culture in museums.

Dream Spaces
ISBN: 9780718502287 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dream space, writes Sheldon Annis, is the reflective experience of encountering yourself within a museum. In Memory and the Museum, Gaynor Kavanaugh argues that dream spaces are the point at which our inner and outer experiences meld. During the museum visit, memory and the present cease to be disparate but fuse into one singular experience. Drawing from such fields as behavioral gerontology, applied psychology, and historiography, Kavanaugh employs research from North America, Australia, and Europe to provide a critical and conceptual exploration into museums and the mind.

George Devey: Architect 1820-1886
ISBN: 9780718827854 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Little has hitherto been written about George Devey, yet his contribution to the vernacular revival which took place in the 1860s was important and innovative. He was the first architect to apply the Wealden style to cottages and small estate buildings, and to use the Flemish manner found in east Kent and East Anglia in combination with the Jacobean for his mansions, whether in town or country, anticipating architects such as Richard Norman Shaw and William Eden Nesfield by at least ten years. His interest in the use of local materials directly contributed to the emergence of the Arts and...
