American Patroness
A vital collection of interdisciplinary essays that illuminates the significance of Marian shrines and promises to teach scholars how to “read” them for decades to come. American Patroness: Marian Shrines and the Making of US Catholicism is a collection of twelve essays that examine the historical and contemporary roles of Marian shrines in US Catholicism. The essays in this collection use historical, ethnographic, and comparative methods to explore how Catholics have used Marian devotion to make an imprint on the physical and religious landscape of the United States. Using the dynamic malleability of Marian shrines as a starting place for studying US Catholicism, each chapter reconsider...
Alleviative Objects
The global field of contemporary art is shaped by inter-racial conflicts. Alleviative Objects approaches Caribbean art through intersectional entanglements and combines decolonial epistemologies with critical whiteness studies and affect theory in order to rethink `Euro- and U.S.-centric' perspectives on art, race, and class. David Frohnapfel shows how progressive racism in the discourse on Haitian art recenters Whiteness by performing benign, innocent, and heroic identifications with the artist group Atis Rezistans. While the study turns critically towards Whiteness, it also turns away from it and towards the compelling contributions of Haitian curators and artists to the decentralization of contemporary art.
Photography in Children's Literature
Photography in Children’s Literature is the first study that examines the wide array of artistic techniques, topics, and genres used within photographic books for children. Covering a time period from the 1870s to the 1980s, the collection offers multifaceted insights into changing perceptions of children and childhood during an era when the world changed in unprecedented ways. More than sixty full-color illustrations demonstrate an impressive variety of genres, from ABC books, concept books, and country portraits to photo reportage and poetry. By discussing photographic books from ten countries and three continents, the collection offers an international scope, providing a glimpse into the production and reception of photography in children’s literature in a range of contexts and cultures. Photographic books for children thus open up new vistas for scholars interested in an interdisciplinary and transnational investigation of children’s literature, text and images, across the centuries.
Za horyzont
A gdyby tak stworzyć nową Polskę? Choćby w odległej Brazylii? Tu głód i nędza, a tam złoto i brylanty w takiej obfitości, że ziemia aż świeci i po zmroku nie trzeba zapalać światła! Tak przynajmniej mówią krążący po wsi agitatorzy. Galicyjscy chłopi w Brazylii, legioniści na Haiti, Mrożek w Meksyku, żołnierze Andersa w Argentynie czy młodzi ludzie, którzy przypadkiem trafili do Chile i już tam zostali. Tomasz Pindel rusza na nieznany ląd: przeczesuje archiwa i literaturę, dociera do różnych pokoleń emigrantów i słucha ich niezwykłych historii. Dlaczego uprawa yerba mate stała się w Argentynie polską specjalnością? Na czym polegała polsko-niemiecka r...
