Rutgers University Press Polish Jewish Culture Beyond the Capital:
Book SynopsisPolish Jewish Culture beyond the Capital: Centering the Periphery is a path-breaking exploration of the diversity and vitality of urban Jewish identity and culture in Polish lands from the second half of the nineteenth century to the outbreak of the Second World War (1899–1939). In this multidisciplinary essay collection, a cohort of international scholars provides an integrated history of the arts and humanities in Poland by illuminating the complex roles Jews in urban centers other than Warsaw played in the creation of Polish and Polish Jewish culture. Each essay presents readers with the extraordinary production and consumption of culture by Polish Jews in literature, film, cabaret, theater, the visual arts, architecture, and music. They show how this process was defined by a reciprocal cultural exchange that flourished between cities at the periphery—from Lwów and Wilno to Kraków and Łódź—and international centers like Warsaw, thereby illuminating the place of Polish Jews within urban European cultures. Companion website (https://polishjewishmusic.iu.edu)Trade Review“This splendid collection of essays breaks new ground in the study of Polish Jews and their cultural engagements. They redraw the map, bring centers and peripheries into unexpected relations, delineate cultural spaces in novel ways, and treat topics never before considered with a bracing freshness.”— Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Ronald S. Lauder Chief Curator, Core Exhibition, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews "Polish Jewish life and culture has always been regional, diversely reflected in a multitude of centers from shtetlekh to urban working-class districts to provincial capitals. In this fascinating volume, leading scholars of Polish Jewry present original essays on the varieties of Jewish culture that once flourished in and around Poland."— Jeffrey Veidlinger, author of In the Midst of Civilized Europe: The 1918–1921 Pogroms in Ukraine and the Onset of the HoTable of ContentsContents A Note on Place Names, Personal Names, and Transliterations Introduction, Halina Goldberg and Nancy Sinkoff Part I: Tradition and Rebellion Chapter 1: "'A Holiday that Applies to Everyone': Ararat Kleynkunst Theater and the Challenge of Populist Modernism," Zehavit Stern Chapter 2: "Elkhonen Vogler, Forgotten Poet of Yung-Vilne, in Vilna and the Litvak Borderlands," Justin Cammy Chapter 3: "Scandalous Glass House: On Modernist Transparency in Architecture and Life," Bożena Shallcross Chapter 4: "Jewish Expressionism between Discourses of Revival and Degeneration: The Yung-yidish Group," Małgorzata Stolarska-Fronia Part II: Performers and Audiences Chapter 5: "The Theatrics of Bais Yaakov," Naomi Seidman Chapter 6: "A Spectacle of Differences: Bracha Zefira's Tour of Poland in 1929," Magdalena Kozłowska Chapter 7: "Music of 'the Foreign Nations' or 'Native Culture': Concert Programming in Interwar Lwów as a Discourse about Jewish Musical Identities," Sylwia Jakubczyk-Śleczka Chapter 8: "From Lodzermensz to Szmonces and Back: On the Multidirectional Flow of Culture," Marcos Silber Part III: Maps and Spaces Chapter 9: "The Layered Meanings of an Unbuilt Monument: Kraków Jews Commemorate the Polish King Casimir the Great," Alicja Maślak-Maciejewska Chapter 10: "Mapping Modern Jewish Kraków: Women—Cultural Production—Space," Eugenia Prokop-Janiec Chapter 11: "Movie Theaters and the Development of Jewish Public Space in Interwar Poland," Ela Bauer Chapter 12: "The Politics of Jewish Youth Movement Culture in Interwar Poland's Eastern Borderlands," Daniel Heller Appendix Acknowledgments Bibliography Notes on Contributors Index

Park Books Lower Austria: The Architectural Landscape 1848
Book SynopsisLower Austria is not only the country's largest federal state, its beautiful and varied landscape also makes it a popular tourist destination. Many of its pretty towns and villages are only a short journey from Austria's capital Vienna. This new architecture guidebook features a vast selection of significant buildings from the late 19th and early 20th century in this region. Arranged by typology, they are documented with historic and new photographs, plans, brief descriptions and key information. The seven decades between the Austrian revolution in 1848 and the end of the Great War in 1918 were a period of fundamental changes in society, politics, economy and technology that also had a major impact on architecture and construction. Between the accession of Emperor Franz Josef I and the fall of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, manorialism was abolished; public administration on all levels of state was modernised and created a whole new social class of civil servants; the construction of railways and industrialisation brought an unprecedented economic boom; and escaping the crowded metropolis for a summer house in the countryside became fashionable among the aristocrats and the nouveaux-riche. Many of the famous Vienna-based architects of the time were commissioned with designs for all sorts of public and private projects also in provincial towns and villages.

Bohlau Verlag Hermathena: Der Architekt der Renaissance als
Book SynopsisAntonio di Pietro Averlino, genannt Filarete, erzählt in seinem zwischen 1460 und 1464 in der Form eines Dialoges des Verfassers mit dem Mailänder Herzog Francesco Sforza und dessen Sohn Galeazzo Maria Sforza verfassten Libro architettonico von der Planung, Gründung und Errichtung der nach ihrem Bauherrn benannten Stadt »Sforzinda« sowie einer mit dieser verbundenen Stadt am Meer. Die erste monographische Untersuchung des Codex widmet sich neben den architekturpraktischen und -theoretischen Aspekten im engeren Sinne auch den bisher wenig oder gar nicht beachteten Passagen und Illustrationen, um durch eine genaue Lesung der dort entworfenen ›Bilder‹ im Zusammenhang der ganzen Schrift und unter Berücksichtigung weit über die üblichen kunsthistorischen Bezugspunkte hinausgehender Quellenschriften Filaretes Libro als herausragendes, kristallines Dokument seiner Zeit insgesamt auszuweisen, welches unser, von den Gewinnern der Geschichte geprägtes Bild von der Renaissance erweitert und korrigiert.
