The Green Bloc
Expanding the horizon of established accounts of Central European art under socialism, this book uncovers the neglected history of artistic engagement with the natural environment in the Eastern Bloc. The turbulent legacy of 1968, which saw the confluence of political upheaval, spread of counterculture, rise of ecological consciousness, and emergence of global conceptual art, provides the setting for Maja Fowkes’s innovative reassessment of the environmental practice of the Central European neo-avant-garde. Focussing on artists and artist groups whose ecological dimension has rarely been considered, including the Pécs Workshop from Hungary, OHO in Slovenia, TOK in Croatia, Rudolf Sikora i...
Hungarian Ceramics from the Zsolnay Manufactory, 1853-2001
The Zsolnay Manufactory represents a triumph of Hungarian applied arts, for during its heyday it produced elegant and innovative ceramics for an international clientele as well as architectural ceramics that embellished some of the finest public and private buildings in the Austro-Hungarian empire. This manual recounts the story of the 150-year-old company and presents numerous examples of its work, showing how its changing fortunes reflect the cultural, economic and political developments in Central and Eastern Europe.
Bartók and His World
Béla Bartók, who died in New York fifty years ago this September, is one of the most frequently performed twentieth-century composers. He is also the subject of a rapidly growing critical and analytical literature. Bartók was born in Hungary and made his home there for all but his last five years, when he resided in the United States. As a result, many aspects of his life and work have been accessible only to readers of Hungarian. The main goal of this volume is to provide English-speaking audiences with new insights into the life and reception of this musician, especially in Hungary. Part I begins with an essay by Leon Botstein that places Bartók in a large historical and cultural conte...
2018
The eighth volume of the International Yearbook of Futurism Studies is again an open issue and presents in its first section new research into the international impact of Futurism on artists and artistic movements in France, Great Britain, Hungary and Sweden. This is followed by a study that investigates a variety of Futurist inspired developments in architecture, and an essay that demonstrates that the Futurist heritage was far from forgotten after the Second World War. These papers show how a wealth of connections linked Futurism with Archigram, Metabolism, Archizoom and Deconstructivism, as well as the Nuclear Art movement, Spatialism, Environmental Art, Neon Art, Kinetic Art and many oth...
"Die elenden Tagelöhner der Unterwelt"
Die historisch-ethnographische Untersuchung folgt in und zwischen den Zeilen dem kulturellen Tun der Lokalzeitungen als Akteuren in den Diskursen der Pécser Gesellschaft um die multiethnische Bergarbeiterschaft und ihrem Streik im Jahre 1893. In der Untersuchung werden die textgewordenen Handlungsweisen der – als Kollektivakteure verstandenen – Zeitungen beobachtet und beschrieben. Mithilfe von Analysen und Interpretationen wird nach Erklärungen für deren kulturelle Praktiken gesucht, die diese im Umgang mit dem arbeitspolitischen und kulturellen Phänomen des Bergarbeiterstreiks anwandten, um den für sie dabei relevanten Dingen Sinn zu verleihen und diesen in ihre alltagsweltliche Ordnung zu integrieren. Die Analyse der Presseberichterstattung über den Bergarbeiterstreik als Objektivation kultureller Aushandlungsprozesse zeigt, dass Räume nicht nur von den Akteuren kulturell konstruiert und vorgestellt werden und nicht nur Spiegel gesellschaftlicher Strukturen sind. Räumliche Zuschreibungen dienen mitunter auch als alltagspraktische kulturelle Mittel zur Herstellung sozialer Ordnungen.
