Improvised Continent
In Improvised Continent, Richard Cándida Smith synthesizes over seventy years of Pan-American cultural activity in the United States and shows how Latin American artists and writers challenged U.S. citizens about their place in the world and about the kind of global relations the country's interests could allow.
The Lights of Home
Because of political, cultural, or economic difficulties in their homelands, Latin American writers have often sought refuge abroad. Their independent searches for a haven in which to write often ended in Paris, long a city of writes in exile. This is more than solely a group biography of these writers or an explication of material they wrote about Paris; it is also a luminous account of the work they wrote while in Paris, often based in their homelands. It explores how Paris reacted to this wave of Latin American writers and how these writers absorbed Parisian influences and welded them to their own traditions setting the stage for immense success and power of works coming from Central and South America over the last half of the twentieth century.
Die Transformation der Lager
Jede Forschung zur Geschichte der nationalsozialistischen Lager, jede Form einer Gedenkpraxis und jeder Beitrag künstlerischer Auseinandersetzung nimmt implizit oder explizit auf den jeweiligen Ort Bezug. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes wählen ihn daher zum Referenz- und Ausgangspunkt: Die historischen und aktuellen Ereignisse, welche die Lager betreffen, werden in den Beiträgen im Zusammenhang mit den jeweiligen räumlich-materiellen Gegebenheiten untersucht. Die Spannweite der Texte reicht von kunstgeschichtlichen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Perspektiven über philosophische, historische und pädagogische Zugänge bis hin zur bildenden Kunst und Architektur.
English Convents in Exile, 1600-1800, Part II, vol 6
Between 1600 and 1800 around 4,000 Catholic women left England for a life of exile in the convents of France, Flanders, Portugal and America. These closed communities offered religious contemplation and safety, but also provided an environment of concentrated female intellectualism. The nuns’ writings from this time form a unique resource.
