Max Ernst
Om den tyske kunstner Max Ernsts (1891-1976) liv og værker
Consumerism and Prestige
This anthology explores the relationships and interdependencies between literary production and distinctions of taste by examining how the material aspects of literary texts, such as the cover, binding, typography and paper stock, reflect or even determine their cultural status. In many cases, for example, the distinctions between “highbrow” and “lowbrow” taste have little to do with the content of the texts themselves, as books often function as markers of socioeconomic status, like clothing or home décor. One might even go so far as to say that the concept of literary taste is more closely related to fashion sense than critical judgment. The anthology seeks to address this claim by examining how the tensions between consumerism and prestige reflect fundamental historical changes with regard to the development of technology, literacy and social power.
Form and Meaning in Avant-Garde Collage and Montage
This book uses intermedial theories to study collage and montage, tracing the transformation of visual collage into photomontage in the early avant-garde period. Magda Dragu distinguishes between the concepts of collage and montage, as defined across several media (fine arts, literature, music, film, photography), based on the type of artistic meaning they generate, rather than the mechanical procedures involved. The book applies theories of intermediality to collage and montage, which is crucial for understanding collage as a form of cultural production. Throughout, the author considers the political implications, as collages and montages were often used for propagandistic purposes. This book combines research methods used in several areas of inquiry: art history, literary criticism, analytical philosophy, musicology, and aesthetics.

L'Opéra à Hambourg (1648-1728)
Mise en lumière du lien entre l'essor de la cité hanséatique et l'émergence du genre opératique entre le XVIIe et le XVIIIe siècles, qui se manifeste par la production de 250 oeuvres lyriques écrites par des compositeurs tels que Haendel, Keiser, Telemann. Les mutations d'ordre politique, confessionnel et diplomatique semblent également avoir modifié l'espace musical local.
