Reshaping the Frontier Landscape: Dongchuan in Eighteenth-century Southwest China
In Reshaping the Frontier Landscape: Dongchuan in Eighteenth-century Southwest China, Fei HUANG examines the process of reshaping the landscape of Dongchuan, a remote frontier city in Southwest China in the eighteenth century. Rich copper deposits transformed Dongchuan into one of the key outposts of the Qing dynasty, a nexus of encounters between various groups competing for power and space. The frontier landscape bears silent witness to the changes in its people’s daily lives and in their memories and imaginations. The literati, officials, itinerant merchants, commoners and the indigenous people who lived there shaped and reshaped the local landscape by their physical efforts and cultural representations. This book demonstrates how multiple landscape experiences developed among various people in dependencies, conflicts and negotiations in the imperial frontier.
Diplomacy and the Aristocracy as Patrons of Music and Theatre in the Europe of the Ancien Régime
This volume explores the dense networks created by diplomatic relationships between European courts and aristocratic households in the early modern age, with the emphasis on celebratory events and the circulation of theatrical plots and practitioners promoted by political and diplomatic connections. The offices of plenipotentiary ministers were often outposts providing useful information about cultural life in foreign countries. Sometimes the artistic strategies defined through the exchanges of couriers were destined to leave a legacy in the history of arts, especially of music and theatre. Ministers favored or promoted careers, described or made pieces of repertoire available to new audiences, and even supported practitioners in their difficult travels by planning profitable tours. They stood behind extraordinary artists and protected many stage performers with their authority, while carefully observing and transmitting precious information about the cultural and musical life of the countries where they resided.
Produkt Altstadt
Weltweit entstehen neue Altstädte - die Unterscheidbarkeit zwischen historischen Stadtzentren und deren Imitationen wird dabei zunehmend unerheblich. Die Beiträge suchen die »Produktion« von Altstädten seit ihren Anfängen im frühen 20. Jahrhundert auf und ordnen sie in die Stadtbaugeschichte der Moderne ein. Die Bandbreite reicht hierbei vom Heimatschutz über den Wiederaufbau bis zur Postmoderne und aktuellen Rekonstruktionsprojekten, wobei hygienische, ästhetische und denkmalpflegerische Fragen ebenso beleuchtet werden wie wechselnde Nutzungen und Akteurskonstellationen. Der Band bietet ein aktuelles interdisziplinäres Kompendium zum Thema Altstadt, das über die Fachkreise hinaus von Interesse ist.
Landscape Culture - Culturing Landscapes
In this book an international group of authors reflects mechanisms of the cultural and social construction of landscapes. International migration and global exchange are associated with a multitude of different cultural meanings of landscapes. The logics of multi-cultural perceptions and meanings of landscape call for trans-disciplinary research, and for guidance on addressing culturally sensitive issues and inclusion in practical planning.
