Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean
The Islamic world's artistic traditions experienced profound transformation in the 19th century as rapidly developing technologies and globalizing markets ushered in drastic changes in technique, style, and content. Despite the importance and ingenuity of these developments, the 19th century remains a gap in the history of Islamic art. To fill this opening in art historical scholarship, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean charts transformations in image-making, architecture, and craft production in the Islamic world from Fez to Istanbul. Contributors focus on the shifting methods of production, reproduction, circulation, and exchange artists faced as they worked in fields such as photography, weaving, design, metalwork, ceramics, and even transportation. Covering a range of media and a wide geographical spread, Making Modernity in the Islamic Mediterranean reveals how 19th-century artists in the Middle East and North Africa reckoned with new tools, materials, and tastes from local perspectives.
Aesthetics as a Religious Factor in Eastern and Western Christianity
This volume contains selected papers of a conference in 2004 at Utrecht University on aesthetics as a religious factor in Eastern and Western Christianity. They discuss the role of aesthetics in the presentation and expression of Christian faith in Catholic and Orthodox tradition. During its history Christianity has produced many works of art: church architecture, iconography, painting, music and literary texts. And in Orthodoxy beauty has always been the main form of religious expression, more than verbal presentation of Christian teaching, which is embedded in the aesthetic context of liturgy. In Christian theology beauty has often been seen as a form of divine revelation, related to the m...

Culture as a Vocation
Vocational occupations are attractive not so much for their material rewards as for the prestige and self-fulfillment they confer. They require a strong personal commitment, which can be subjectively experienced in terms of passion and selflessness. The choice of a career in the cultural sector provides a good example of this. What are the terms of this calling? What predisposes individuals to answer it? What are the meanings of such a choice? To answer these questions, this book focuses on would-be cultural managers. By identifying their social patterns, by revealing the resources, expectations and visions of the world they invest in their choice, it sheds new light on these occupations. In...
La culture est un combat
Le livre présente une soixantaine d’histoires devenues légendaires, sous la plume de l’un des acteurs très présent dans les coulisses du pouvoir. Claude Mollard dévoile ainsi les dessous de la Pyramide du Louvre, le lancement du Musée de la mode, l’engagement de la culture culinaire ou l’entrée fracassante de La Célestine au Musée Picasso. Chaque événement est ciselé comme une nouvelle. Ce qui nous apparaît aujourd’hui comme naturel, ou comme le fruit de l’esprit des temps, s’avère alors comme le résultat de multiples combats, parfois incertains, souvent victorieux. Ces histoires additionnent les sagas aux sagas pour montrer que l’esprit de projet, quand il inspire les hommes politiques, est capable de soulever des montagnes, de susciter l’enthousiasme et de transformer l’histoire en légende. Des sagas écrites aussi comme des « leçons de choses » pour mieux montrer aux politiques actuels que la légende ne se proclame pas, elle se construit et se mérite.
Le cri de la terre
Le cri de la terre est saisi par le photographe au plus près de la nature dont il enregistre la protestation face à la folie des hommes. À la façon des animistes, Claude Mollard révèle vie et expressions humaines sur les galets, troncs d’arbres, roches, végétaux captés sur les cinq continents. Son œuvre rassemble images et textes remettant l’homme à sa place, fragile et pourtant prétentieuse, de descendant des êtres de la nature qui le précédent depuis les origines. Notre Terre-mère va-t-elle assister à la disparition de ses enfants qui ne savent ni voir, ni comprendre ? Un hommage rendu à son ami Frans Krajcberg, au milieu de ses sculptures. Un cri universel, émouvant et multiple, avant que n’advienne le pire.
Popular Culture in Modern France
`Culture' is one of the most frequently used terms in the French vocabulary. It sells not only books, newspapers and magazines but also consumer products and political parties. But what are the meanings of `culture populaire'? What have the French understood by it, and what is its history? Brian Rigby's lively and cogent study traces changing notions of popular culture in France, from 1936 - the year of the Popular Front - to the present day. Asking why `culture' has become such a fiercely contested term, Rigby considers the work of the major French theorists, including Barthes, Bourdieu and Baudrillard.
The Practice of Everyday Life
Volume 1 considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. Volume 2 is based on on microhistories that move from the private sphere (of dwelling, cooking, and homemaking) to the public (the experience of living in a neighborhood). Delves into the subtle tactics of resistance and private practices that make living a subversive art.
