The Meaning of Modern Architecture
Using empathy, as established by the Vienna School of Art History, complemented by insights on how the mind processes visual stimuli, as demonstrated by late 19th-century psychologists and art theorists, this book puts forward an innovative interpretative method of decoding the forms and spaces of Modern buildings. This method was first developed as scholars realized that the new abstract art appearing needed to be analysed differently than the previous figurative works. Since architecture experienced a similar development in the 1920s and 30s, this book argues that the empathetic method can also be used in architectural interpretation. While most existing scholarship tends to focus on forma...
A Political History of Post-WWII Architecture in Europe
At present, when most new buildings in our cities are huge glass boxes, it is hard to make out what they mean. Only a few decades ago, it was easier to decipher our cities. Has architecture lost the connection to public and private life that made us feel at home among buildings? This book explores the meanings that appear when architecture is observed from a political perspective. It examines how architecture has mirrored the political events and developments in Europe since the end of the Second World War, which have brought significant changes to this continent's constitution. This analysis will show how architecture is ingrained in our lives and what meanings are generated from this relationship.
Names of Foreigners Who Took the Oath of Allegiance to the Province and State of Pennsylvania, 1727-1775. with the Foreign Arrivals, 1786-1808
In 1727, the Pennsylvania Provincial Council passed a law requiring all "foreign" immigrants (i.e. those of non-British origin) to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown. Lists of these immigrants were originally assembled for publication in the Pennsylvania Archives (Ser. 2, Vol. XVII), and they are reprinted here without change. This work, then, is an exhaustive list of "foreigners"-mostly Germans-who immigrated into the Province and, later, the State of Pennsylvania between the years 1727 and 1775 and again during the years 1786-1808. More to the point, it is a collection of ships' passenger lists, in many cases the lists being transcribed in entirety, with Captains' lists of passengers running up to the relatively late year of 1808. Along with the full name of the immigrant, including the names of all males over the age of sixteen, since that was the age they were obliged to take the oath, such information is given as name of ship, date of arrival, port of origin, and, in some instances, ages, names of wives, and names of children. An exhaustive index of surnames, running to more than 100 pages, contains about 35,000 references.
Hermann Hesse Bibliographie
Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) gehört zu den wichtigsten und meistgelesenen deutschen Schriftstellern des 20. Jahrhunderts. Bestimmend im Werk des Nobelpreisträgers ist das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Geist und Leben, Kunst und Wirklichkeit. Seine Romane, u. a. "Peter Camenzind", "Demian", "Das Glasperlenspiel", "Der Steppenwolf" und "Siddharta", sind z. T. stark von der Psychoanalyse und der Lebensphilosophie Nietzsches, aber auch von der östlichen Philosophie und Religion beeinflusst und zeichnen sowohl das Bild einer zerrissenen abendländischen Kultur als auch der Utopie einer neuen, geistigen Lebensform, in der sich die vita activa und die vita contemplativa nicht mehr als Antagonisten ...
