A Private Passion
"For the Winthrop collection's international debut exhibition, curators at the Fogg Art Museum of the Harvard University Art Museums, headed by Stephan Wolohojian, organized the selection and invited more than sixty specialists to write on artworks in their particular area of expertise. Works include such highlights in their creator's oeuvre as Jacques-Louis David's sketchbooks for The Coronation of Napoleon and the Crowning of Josephine, Theodore Gericault's Mutiny on the Raft of the Medusa, Vincent van Gogh's The Blue Cart, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's Odalisque with the Slave, William Blake's illustrations for the Divine Comedy, Dante Gabriel Rosetti's Blessed Damozel, and James Abbott McNeill Whistler's Nocturne in Blue and Silver. In addition, an essay by Wolohojian provides a fascinating and informative description of Winthrop and the growth of his collection."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Museums and Biographies
Exploring the relationship between museums and biographies, this collection of essays examines examples from the early 19th century to the present day.
Orientalist Aesthetics
Lavishly illustrated with exotic images ranging from Renoir's forgotten Algerian oeuvre to the abstract vision of Matisse's Morocco and beyond, this book is the first history of Orientalist art during the period of high modernism. Roger Benjamin, drawing on a decade of research in untapped archives, introduces many unfamiliar paintings, posters, miniatures, and panoramas and discovers an art movement closely bound to French colonial expansion. Orientalist Aesthetics approaches the visual culture of exoticism by ranging across the decorative arts, colonial museums, traveling scholarships, and art criticism in the Salons of Paris and Algiers. Benjamin's rediscovery of the important Society of ...
Exceptional Spaces
Taking interdisciplinary and diverse approaches, these thirteen essays explore the multifaceted relationship between performance and history. By considering performance as both a useful frame for understanding historical practices and a mode of historical production itself--performance in history and performance as history--the contributors chart new directions in such fields as cultural studies, contemporary historiography, museum studies, and life narrative research. Geographically and chronologically, the collection's sweep is broad--ranging from the nineteenth century to the present, from Victorian theater to commissions of inquiry in Kenya, from dissent in post-Soviet Lithuania to plant...
Text and Image in Modern European Culture
Text and Image in Modern European Culture is a collection of essays that are transnational and interdisciplinary in scope. Employing a range of innovative comparative approaches to reassess and undermine traditional boundaries between art forms and national cultures, the contributors shed new light on the relations between literature and the visual arts in Europe after 1850. Following tenets of comparative cultural studies, work presented in this volume explores international creative dialogues between writers and visual artists, ekphrasis in literature, literature and design (fashion, architecture), hybrid texts (visual poetry, surrealist pocket museums, poetic photo-texts), and text and im...
Göttergleich – Gottverlassen
Prometheus ist eine der widersprüchlichsten Figuren der griechischen Mythologie und wie kaum eine andere in unserem kulturellen Gedächtnis verankert. Mal als Frevler geschmäht, mal als Retter gefeiert, blieb der feuerbringende Halbgott durch die Zeiten lebendig und steht bis heute für Wissen und Innovation. In den Künsten hat die Sage von Prometheus mit ihren drei Hauptmotiven Menschenbildung, Feuerraub und Marter im Lauf der Jahrhunderte die verschiedensten, ja konträren Deutungen evoziert. Mit der Aufklärung zum Mythos des modernen Menschen geworden, konnte Prometheus das 19. Jahrhundert in all seinen Widersprüchen bildhaft werden lassen – sei es als Motor der Technisierung und I...
Consentement et contrainte dans les soins en psychiatrie
Le soin psychiatrique est le seul (ou presque) pour lequel une procédure d’intervention sans le consentement est prévue. En effet, la nature même de certains troubles psychiques peut altérer la capacité à consentir, et dans ce cas, le cadre légal de la contrainte permet d’assurer des soins « sans consentement ». Un débat complexe abordé à travers 3 axes complémentaires : - Le cheminement historique, le cadre juridique, de la loi de 1838, à celle de 1990 jusqu’à la réforme de 2011-2013 pour comprendre la mise en place, l’évolution et les différentes options des soins sans consentement. - Les exemples d’application de la loi dans certains cas particuliers : soins en milieu carcéral, prise en charge de personnes démentes, auteurs d’agressions sexuelles… - Le panorama des soins sous contraintes pratiqués dans d’autres pays européens.
Art Books
First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.
Suicides et tentatives de suicide
Le suicide est un problème majeur de santé publique. On compte en France annuellement 11 000 décès par suicide et 200 000 tentatives de suicide. Ce manuel fait le point des connaissances sur cette "maladie" qui, lorsqu'elle n'est pas létale, est lourde de conséquences physiques et psychologiques pour le suicidant et son entourage. Dans une première partie les données cliniques du phénomène sont exposées : épidémiologie, sociologie du suicide, définition des conduites suicidaires. Avec les axes de la recherche, la deuxième partie présente les travaux les plus actuels sur la vulnérabilité suicidaire : les avancées des neurosciences dans le domaine de la biologie ou de la gé...
