Painting a People
Analyzes the life, work, and reception of a founding father of modern Jewish art in Eastern Europe.
Representing the Past in the Art of the Long Nineteenth Century
This edited collection explores the intersection of historical studies and the artistic representation of the past in the long nineteenth century. The case studies provide not just an account of the pursuit of history in art within Western Europe but also examples from beyond that sphere. These cover canonical and conventional examples of history painting as well as more inclusive, ‘popular’ and vernacular visual cultural phenomena. General themes explored include the problematics internal to the theory and practice of academic history painting and historical genre painting, including compositional devices and the authenticity of artefacts depicted; relationships of power and purpose in historical art; the use of historical art for alternative Liberal and authoritarian ideals; the international cross-fertilisation of ideas about historical art; and exploration of the diverse influences of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of the histories of nineteenth-century art and culture.
The Viennese Café and Fin-de-Siècle Culture
The Viennese café was a key site of urban modernity around 1900. In the rapidly growing city it functioned simultaneously as home and workplace, affording opportunities for both leisure and intellectual exchange. This volume explores the nature and function of the coffeehouse in the social, cultural, and political world of fin-de-siècle Vienna. Just as the café served as a creative meeting place within the city, so this volume initiates conversations between different disciplines focusing on Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century. Contributions are drawn from the fields of social and cultural history, literary studies, Jewish studies and art, and architectural and design history. A fresh perspective is also provided by a selection of comparative articles exploring coffeehouse culture elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
Antisemitism in Galicia
In the last third of the nineteenth century, the discourse on the “Jewish question” in the Habsburg crownlands of Galicia changed fundamentally, as clerical and populist politicians emerged to denounce the Jewish assimilation and citizenship. This pioneering study investigates the interaction of agitation, violence, and politics against Jews on the periphery of the Danube monarchy. In its comprehensive analysis of the functions and limitations of propaganda, rumors, and mass media, it shows just how significant antisemitism was to the politics of coexistence among Christians and Jews on the eve of the Great War.

Lach serdeczny
Praca oparta została na rezultatach rozległej kwerendy archiwalnej i bibliotecznej, skonfrontowanej z dziełami malarskimi Jana Matejki. Adam Świątek dokonał wnikliwej analizy ich zawartości, trafnie zinterpretował znaczenie symboliczne poszczególnych dzieł i postaci historycznych wprowadzonych przez Matejkę do jego prac. Wskazał na zainteresowania słowiańskie Matejki oraz na jego wielce pozytywny stosunek do Rusi i Rusinów, zarówno w kontekście historycznym, jak i mu współczesnym. Ze względu na ogromne znaczenie twórczości Matejki w tworzeniu zrębów świadomości historycznej Polaków, interpretacja jego dzieł pozostaje ważnym elementem badania przemian spojrzenia n...
