The Power of Emotions
Emotions make history, and emotions have a history. Through engaging analysis of twenty essential and powerful emotions - including anger, grief, hate, love, pride, shame and trust - Ute Frevert explores the emotional worlds of Germans to tell a very different story of the 20th century.
National Monuments and Nationalism in 19th Century Germany
No century in modern European history has built monuments with more enthusiasm than the 19th. Of the hundreds of monuments erected, those which sprang from a nation-wide initiative and addressed themselves to a nation, rather than part of a nation, we may call national monuments. Nelson's Column in London or the Arc de Triomphe in Paris are obvious examples. In Germany the 19th century witnessed a veritable flood of monuments, many of which rank as national monuments. These reflected and contributed to a developing sense of national identity and the search for national unity; they also document an unsuccessful effort to create a «genuinely German» style. They constitute a historical record, quite apart from aesthetic appeal or ideological message. As this historical record is examined, German national monuments of the 19th century are described and interpreted against the background of the nationalism which gave birth to them.
The Great Famine
The horrors of the Great Famine (1315-1322), one of the severest catastrophes ever to strike northern Europe, lived on for centuries in the minds of Europeans who recalled tales of widespread hunger, class warfare, epidemic disease, frighteningly high mortality, and unspeakable crimes. Until now, no one has offered a perspective of what daily life was actually like throughout the entire region devastated by this crisis, nor has anyone probed far into its causes. Here, the distinguished historian William Jordan provides the first comprehensive inquiry into the Famine from Ireland to western Poland, from Scandinavia to central France and western Germany. He produces a rich cultural history of ...
Seeing Comics through Art History
This book explores what the methodologies of Art History might offer Comics Studies, in terms of addressing overlooked aspects of aesthetics, form, materiality, perception and visual style. As well as considering what Art History proposes of comic scholarship, including the questioning of some of its deep-rooted categories and procedures, it also appraises what comics and Comics Studies afford and ask of Art History. This book draws together the work of international scholars applying art-historical methodologies to the study of a range of comic strips, books, cartoons, graphic novels and manga, who, as well as being researchers, are also educators, artists, designers, curators, producers, librarians, editors, and writers, with some undertaking practice-based research. Many are trained art historians, but others come from, have migrated into, or straddle other disciplines, such as Comparative Literature, American Literature, Cultural Studies, Visual Studies, and a range of subjects within Art & Design practice.
Textspiele in der Wirtschaftskommunikation
Das Buch zeigt die Bandbreite zeitgenössischer Textprodukte in der Wirtschaftskommunikation auf, die durch verschiedene Varianten des Spiels mit Sprache und Text beeindrucken und eine lebendige Textkultur illustrieren können. Texte in Unternehmenskommunikation und Werbung folgen vielfach festgelegten Mustern. Pressemeldungen, Editorials oder Werbeanzeigen z.B. bieten als konventionelle Textsorten recht klare Orientierungen zu ihrem Inhalt und ihrer Form. Andere Texte wiederum sind vor allem deshalb aufmerksamkeitsstark und attraktiv, weil sie von Normen abweichen und spielerisch mit Erwartungen an Texte und ihren konventionellen Gestaltungsprinzipien umgehen. Zeitungsbeilagen in Form von Liebesbriefen, schillernde Unternehmensstorys, lyrische Verse in einer Werbeanzeige oder Wirtschaftspublikationen als Comic Strip z.B. informieren und unterhalten zugleich.
