University of Tennessee Press Civil War Flags of Tennessee
Book SynopsisCivil War Flags of Tennessee provides information on all known Confederate and Union flags of the state and showcases the Civil War flag collection of the Tennessee State Museum. This volume is organized into three parts. Part 1 includes interpretive essays by scholars such as Greg Biggs, Robert B. Bradley, Howard Michael Madaus, and Fonda Ghiardi Thomsen that address how flags were used in the Civil War, their general history, their makers, and preservation issues, among other themes. Part 2 is a catalogue of Tennessee Confederate flags. Part 3 is a catalogue of Tennessee Union flags. The catalogues present a collection of some 200 identified, extant Civil War flags and another 300 flags that are known through secondary and archival sources, all of which are exhaustively documented. Appendices follow the two catalogue sections and include detailed information on several Confederate and Union flags associated with the states of Mississippi, North Carolina, and Indiana that are also contained in the Tennessee State Museum collection.Complete with nearly 300 color Illustrations and meticulous notes on textiles and preservation efforts, this volume is much more than an encyclopedic log of Tennessee-related Civil War flags. Stephen Cox and his team also weave the history behind the flags throughout the catalogues, including the stories of the women who stitched them, the regiments that bore them, and the soldiers and bearers who served under them and carried them. Civil War Flags of Tennessee is an eloquent hybrid between guidebook and chronicle, and the scholar, the Civil War enthusiast, and the general reader will all enjoy what can be found in its pages.Unprecedented in its variety and depth, Cox's work fills an important historiographical void within the greater context of the American Civil War. This text demonstrates the importance of Tennessee state heritage and the value of public history, reminding readers that each generation has the honor and responsibility of learning from and preserving the history that has shaped us all-and in doing so, honoring the lives of the soldiers and civilians who sacrificed and persevered.Trade ReviewThis volume is well conceived, organized, and executed. The essays are impressive, and the writing style will engage both scholars and the larger public." - John D. Fowler, author of Mountaineers in Gray: The Nineteenth Tennessee Volunteer Infantry Regiment, C.S.A.

Roaring Forties Press Inventing the American Flag: How the Stars and
Book SynopsisA treasure hunt for the hidden meaning of the symbols that appear on America's beloved national flag."The best book on the American flag's origins. . . No one knows the ins and outs of the origins of the flag of the United States as well as Henry Moeller does. . . Highly recommended."--Marc Leepson, author of Flag: An American BiographyWith gorgeous four-color reproductions of an amazing array of art from diverse cultures and eras, Inventing the American Flag explores the symbolism of the flag and investigates why the founding fathers chose the images they did to represent the new nation. Art history sleuth Henry W. Moeller brings a breath of fresh air to our appreciation of the flag, blowing away the cobwebs left by antiquarians fixated on dusty records and Masonic conspiracies. Inventing the American Flag weaves together exotic and colorful strands of history to offer a new understanding of the forces that contributed to the flag flown by America's revolutionaries.Henry W. Moeller's forty-year journey into the history of the symbols on America's early flags took him to libraries, museums, and private collections around the world. The deeper he dug, the further back in time he went. He pored over explorers' maps, medieval manuscripts, astronomers' charts, and ancient myths. Gradually, he was able to piece together the remarkable, constantly surprising, and often inspiring story of how, beginning in classical times, the stars and stripes acquired new meanings and were put to new uses until, at the birth of our nation, they became the symbols of that nation itself.

Book SynopsisThe only book that comprehensively covers the history of the eagle emblem in such detail. Beautifully photographed and illustrated. A bold expression of a fledgling republic's aspirations and bravado, the American bald eagle has been designed, drawn, illustrated, stamped, engraved, painted, sculpted, carved, photographed, and etched by thousands of artists and artisans since 1782, when it first appeared as the central figure on the Great Seal of the United States.

As a North American native species it exemplifies nature's grandeur and the advance of conservation.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Flags of the American Civil War (2): Union
Book SynopsisThe regimental or battery set of colours was more than simply a unit designation, issued for the ease of a commander in identifying his units in the field.

Scheidegger und Spiess AG, Verlag Mao's Golden Mangoes and the Cultural Revolution
Book SynopsisIn August 1968, the Pakistani foreign minister visited Beijing and presented Chairman Mao with a crate of mangoes. Apparently, Mao immediately sent the mangoes, a fruit unkown so far in China, as a gift to the 'Worker-Peasant Mao Zedong Thought Propaganda Teams' deployed into Quinghua University to put down warring factions of Red Guards and occupy the campus, with the implicit political message that workers were now made managers of education. The exotic fruit were then distributed over the following weeks to various factories. Thus the mangoes, perceived as coming from Chairman Mao, transformed from mere fruit into near-divine symbol. They were celebrated by the workers as tokens of Mao's love and compassion and worshipped as a kind of religious relic. The Golden Mango powerfully symbolised the slogan "The working class must be the leaders in everything", and soon appeared on all kinds of household products. The new book Mao's Golden Mangoes and the Cultural Revolution illustrates how factory workers tried to preserve Chairman Mao's precious gift, how the mango transformed into a religious symbol, and how the political spectacle of the 1968 National Day Parade featured the mango.Table of ContentsContents: Albert Lutz - Introduction Zheng Xiaowei - Narrative of the Incident Wang Xiaoping - Golden Mangoes: Recollections of a Factory Worker Alfreda Murck - Designing a Spectacle: The National Day Parade of 1968 Carma Hinton - Golden Mangoes: Recollections of a Student Alfreda Murck - Symbolism of Edibles in Chinese Literature and Painting Adam Y Chau - The 1976 Movie The Song of the Mango Alonzo Emery - The Status of Workers Then and Now

Brill Emblems and the Natural World
Book SynopsisSince its invention by Andrea Alciato, the emblem is inextricably connected to the natural world. Alciato and his followers drew massively their inspiration from it. For their information about nature, the emblem authors were greatly indebted to ancient natural history, the medieval bestiaries, and the 15th- and 16th-century proto-emblematics, especially the imprese. The natural world became the main topic of, for instance, Camerarius’s botanical and zoological emblem books, and also of the ‘applied’ emblematics in drawings and decorative arts. Animal emblems are frequently quoted by naturalists (Gesner, Aldrovandi). This interdisciplinary volume aims to address these multiple connections between emblematics and Natural History in the broader perspective of their underlying ideologies – scientific, artistic, literary, political and/or religious. Contributors: Alison Saunders, Anne Rolet, Marisa Bass, Bernhard Schirg, Maren Biederbick, Sabine Kalff, Christian Peters, Frederik Knegtel, Agnes Kusler, Aline Smeesters, Astrid Zenker, Tobias Bulang, Sonja Schreiner, Paul Smith, and Karl Enenkel.Trade Review“Emblems and the Natural World is not simply a series of motif studies; instead, it offers the first major foray into what must become a vital subject of analysis for emblem scholars. […]. With its painstakingly researched essays and gorgeous and plentiful full-color illustrations, [it] will surely inspire new growth in the field of emblem studies and further research into the complex literary and artistic symbolism of the natural world.” Deanna Smid, Brandon University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 72, No. 1 (spring 2019), pp. 281-283. “Emblems and the Natural World is a handsomely produced volume, laid out clearly, sturdy in the hand, and generously illustrated throughout, often in color, and with a crisp quality that throws up a pleasing degree of detail. […] this is a volume to be highly commended, full of interest, variety, depth of argument, and fresh insights into one of the defining territories of the early modern emblem: its dependence upon the rich abundance of the Liber naturae.” Simon McKeown, Marlborough College.

Amsterdam University Press The Aesthetics of Global Protest: Visual Culture
Book SynopsisProtestors across the world use aesthetics in order to communicate their ideas and ensure their voices are heard. This book looks at protest aesthetics, which we consider to be the visual and performative elements of protest, such as images, symbols, graffiti, art, as well as the choreography of protest actions in public spaces. Through the use of social media, protestors have been able to create an alternative space for people to engage with politics that is more inclusive and participatory than traditional politics. This volume focuses on the role of visual culture in a highly mediated environment and draws on case studies from Europe, Thailand, South Africa, USA, Argentina, and the Middle East in order to demonstrate how protestors use aesthetics to communicate their demands and ideas. It examines how digital media is harnessed by protestors and argues that all protest aesthetics are performative and communicative.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface: Devisualize Nicholas Mirzoeff Introduction: The Aesthetics of Global Protest: Visual Culture and Communication Aidan McGarry, Itir Erhart, Hande Eslen-Ziya, Olu Jenzen, and Umut Korkut PART I: PERFORMANCE, ART AND POLITICS Chapter 1: Queer Visual Activism in South Africa Tessa Lewin Chapter 2: The Use of Visibility in Contentious Events in Northern Ireland Katy Hayward and Milena Komarova Chapter 3: Maybe We Will Benefit From Our Neighbour's Good Fortune: An Exhibition on Collectivity, Community and Dialogue in Turkey Isil Egrikavuk Chapter 4: Political Street Art in Social Mobilization: A Tale of Two Protests in Argentina Holly Eva Ryan Chapter 5: Archiving Dissent: (Im)material Trajectories of Political Street Art in Istanbul and Athens Julia Tulke Chapter 6: The Introvert's Protest: Handwriting the Constitution and the Performance of Politics Interview with Morgan O'Hara by Aidan McGarry PART II: VISUAL ACTIVISM AND DIGITAL CULTURE Chapter 7: Photography and protest in Israel/Palestine: The Activestills online archive Simon Faulkner Chapter 8: Drones, Cinema, and Protest in Thailand Noah Viernes Chapter 9: Bearing Witness to Authoritarianism and Commoning through Video Activism and Political Film-Making after the Gezi Protests Özge Özdüzen Chapter 10: Music Videos as Protest Communication: The Gezi Park Protest on YouTube Olu Jenzen, Itir Erhart, Hande Eslen-Ziya, Derya Güçdemir, Umut Korkut, and Aidan McGarry Chapter 11: The Activist Chroniclers of Occupy Gezi: Counterposing Visibility to Injustice Dan Mercea and Helton Levy Chapter 12: When Twitter got #woke: Black Lives Matter, DeRay McKesson, Twitter, and the Appropriation of the Aesthetics of Protest Farida Vis, Simon Faulkner, Safiya Umoja Noble and Hannah Guy PART III: CONCLUSION Chapter 13 Conclusion: Reflections on Protest and Political Transformation since 1789 Jim Aulich Index
