Van Doesburg & the International Avant-Garde
Dutch artist Theo Van Doesburg (1883-1931) is perhaps best known as a prime mover in De Stijl, the Dutch artistic movement that demanded an elemental, abstract vocabulary in both Painting and Architecture. Here, revealed for the first time, is the true extent of his involvement with Dada and Constructivist artists' groups spread across the whole of Europe, as far as Russia and beyond, and the breadth of his creative practice in fields as diverse as Film, Typography, Graphic Design and Music. A man of multiple talents and identities, he was inspired by the catastrophe of the First World War to attempt nothing less than the reshaping of culture in its entirety and the construction of a new world --
10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10
A single line of code offers a way to understand the cultural context of computing. This book takes a single line of code—the extremely concise BASIC program for the Commodore 64 inscribed in the title—and uses it as a lens through which to consider the phenomenon of creative computing and the way computer programs exist in culture. The authors of this collaboratively written book treat code not as merely functional but as a text—in the case of 10 PRINT, a text that appeared in many different printed sources—that yields a story about its making, its purpose, its assumptions, and more. They consider randomness and regularity in computing and art, the maze in culture, the popular BASIC programming language, and the highly influential Commodore 64 computer.
Irrational Publics and the Fate of Democracy
Across cultures, democracies struggle with intolerant groups, misinformation, social media conspiracies, and extreme populists. Egalitarian cultures cannot always withstand this swing towards the irrational. In Irrational Publics and the Fate of Democracy Stephen Ward combines history and evolutionary psychology for a comprehensive view of the problem, arguing that social irrationality is likely to occur when social tensions trigger a person’s enemy stance: ancient extreme traits in human nature such as aggressiveness, desire for domination, paranoia of the other, and us-versus-them tribalism. Analyzing eruptions of public irrationality – from apocalyptic medieval crusades and Nazi docto...
Verdrängte Moderne – vergessene Avantgarde
Mit der Moderne seit 1880 etablierte sich eine Dynamik, in der eine Koexistenz von Neuem, Artifiziellem, Entgrenzendem und traditionell Schönem anzutreffen ist. Die Avantgardisten hingegen definierten sich stärker durch den Bruch mit dem Vergangenen. Die Wiener Kultur der Zwischenkriegszeit gilt davon als weitgehend unberührt, obgleich seit 1910 dem Expressionismus zugerechnete Werke entstanden sind. Im Schatten der schwierigen, aber auch von Aufbruch begleiteten 1920er Jahre entwickelte sich in Wien an den Schnittflächen von Theater, Architektur, Literatur, Tanz und Musik ein bemerkenswertes Spektrum konstruktivistisch ausgerichteter Experimente, die weit über Österreich hinaus Resonanz fanden. Diese und andere Konstellationen rekonstruiert dieser Band, der zugleich neue Akzente zum Epochenprofil der Zwischenkriegszeit setzt.

Historical Dictionary of the Netherlands
The Netherlands, frequently but erroneously called Holland, is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. In the past few decades, it has been undergoing many transformations made possible by its dynamic and fast-moving political landscape. It has shifted from fierce nationalism toward a self-image of tolerance and permissiveness: the national identity and self-consciousness has slowly eroded through decolonization and immigration. Unfortunately, several murders of prominent, controversial politicians have started yet another shift away from tolerance, and economic stagnation has bred pessimism. Nonetheless, despite many trials and tribulations, there has been real progress, a...
