Hatje Cantz steirischer herbst '21: The Way Out of...
Book SynopsisContemporary art, as well as our society in general, is - according to the diagnosis of the interdisciplinary art festival steirischer herbst ’21 - in a dead end. The Way Out of... features texts by international contributors to the festival’s discussion program that outlines ways out of the white cube, failed political art, and an unrestrained digital capitalism, and shows new paths for climate justice, a more critical race theory, and new activists. Accessible and pointedly written, this reader offers rich food for thought on the multiple crises of our times.

Hatje Cantz Bohemia: History of an Idea, 1950 – 2000
Book SynopsisAgainst the Grain Since its beginnings in Paris in the mid-19th century, the idea of bohemia, an urban community of artists and intellectuals living outside bourgeois norms, has been a potent trope of artistic identity. It was here that the notion of an unconventional, free-spirited life, precarious yet filled with idealism, was codified and romanticized. Bohemia: History of an Idea, 1950 – 2000 shows the continuities and differences between the scenes and subcultures of the second half of the twentieth century, when the mainstream began to appropriate and thereby erode a way of life predicated on its rejection. Nonetheless, as an alternative to conformity the bohemian idea has exerted an enduring fascination. Through works by 39 artists, including Alice Neel, PeterHujar, John Deakin, David Wojnarowicz, Ed van der Elsken, Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, William Gedney, Libuše Jarcovjáková, Nan Goldin, Zhang Huan and Wolfgang Tillmans, the publication explores the diversity of expressions in various cities in Europe, North America and Asia and shows that the bohemian idea continues to galvanize and inspire.

Hirmer Verlag Tell Me About Yesterday Tomorrow: About the
Book SynopsisHistorical events and our knowledge of them mould our understanding of today’s world. The interdisciplinary authorship of this volume focuses on the connection between past and future. A bold and unusual publication whose approaches and themes extend from biographical experiences via intergenerational exchange to the discussion of current social phenomena.To what extent does (lack of) knowledge of the past influence our view of the present and our tales of the future? Authors from the realms of history, art, philosophy, journalism, poetry, cartoons and film investigate complex everyday reality in history and the present and direct their attention towards the shifts in political hegemonies which lead to ostracism, denigration and destruction. They have explicitly chosen an international perspective which shows that social polarisation and radicalisation are not phenomena limited by national boundaries, but are universal social manifestations in a globally interlinked world.

Hirmer Verlag Power to Imagination: Artists, Posters and
Book SynopsisPosters from the late 19th century to Robert Indiana's poster designs for Barack Obama tell the story of protest. Contemporary events seen through the eyes of 20th century artists show a passion for freedom and human rights and demand equality and tolerance. L'imagination au pouvoir was a slogan devised by artist Pierre Aléchinsky during the May 1968 student riots in Paris. The particular appeal of political posters for avant-garde artists comes from their dual inspiration of utopian ideals and Jive history. The postwar period, when Picasso's unassuming dove image was commandeered by the Communist peace movement, was succeeded by the general wilful resistance of the younger generation in the 1960s. In 1968, many supported the students' demands and produced political posters. In the 1970s, the focus turned to freedom for minorities, and this was followed not much later by environmental pollution a great concern of artists such as Joseph Beuys. In the mid-80s, the AIDS scare turned eyes on to discrimination and social marginalisation; and the concept of equality resurfaced, especially in the work of American artists such as Keith Haring and Jenny Holtzer. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, followed by globalization, was reflected in posters by Robert Rauschenberg and others. This story of international protest movements, narrated through vivid designs by the great artists of our day, is also a story of the art of the period a selective view, perhaps, but nonetheless an expression of astonishing continuity and authenticity. In addition the publication includes among others works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Jons, Antoni Tàpies, Joan Miró and Roy Lichtenstein.

Hirmer Verlag Jin-me Yoon: About Time
Book SynopsisJin-me Yoon is an important Canadian lens-based artist who has been working steadily since emerging on Vancouver’s contemporary art scene in the 1990s. Produced in tandem with a major exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 2022, About Time focuses on Yoon’s monumental and multifaceted production of the last decade, which typically combines photography, video, performance and installation. About Time focuses primarily on Jin-me Yoon’s most recent artistic practice. In these layered works, Yoon continues to address the subject matter of diasporic experience, colonialism, imperialism and militarism, but with a politicized awareness of what it means to live and work as a diasporic artist on land stolen from Indigenous peoples. Characterized by a restrained poetic style, use of slowness and repetition, and sensory use of sound, Yoon’s recent corpus is undergirded by a strong environmentalist thrust. Recurring tropes of this mature phase of her work include cinematic tableaux of individuals integrated within the Pacific West Coast’s stunning natural landscapes.

Museum Tusculanum Press Ideas in History: Journal of the Nordic Society
Book SynopsisThis peer reviewed journal serves as a forum for diverse perspectives and approaches among historians of ideas and scholars of other disciplines who pursue research on topics in the history of ideas in the Nordic countries. At the same time, the journal wishes to provide a forum of exchange and dialogue between scholars from the Nordic countries and their non-Nordic colleagues and open up the English-speaking world to research from the Nordic community. This book is the result of collaborative efforts among nearly a dozen universities and colleges throughout the Nordic countries. The purpose of these initiatives is to further awareness of research, resources, and activities in the field of intellectual history in the Nordic countries as well as internationally. Ideas in History seeks a pluralism of methodological approaches to intellectual history: reflections on the field, historical contexts studied, subject matter for intellectual-historical investigation, critical understandings of relations between the intellectual past and present as well as the comprehension of culturally, politically and geographically diverse intellectual traditions.

Brill Abraham Ibn Ezra and the Rise of Medieval Hebrew Science
Book SynopsisThe main focus of this book is the study of Abraham Ibn Ezra’s (1089-1167) scientific thought within the historical and cultural context of his times. His scientific contribution may be understood as the very embodiment of ‘the rise of medieval Hebrew science’, a process in which Jewish scholars gradually adopted the holy tongue as a vehicle to express secular and scientific ideas. The first part provides a comprehensive picture of Ibn Ezra’s scientific corpus. The second part studies his linguistic strategy. The third and fourth parts study Ibn Ezra’s introductions to his scientific treatises and the fifth part is devoted to studying four ‘encounters’ with Claudius Ptolemy, the main scientific character featuring in Ibn Ezra’s literary work.

Brill A Companion to the Great Western Schism
Book SynopsisThe division of the Church or Schism that took place between 1378 and 1417 had no precedent in Christianity. No conclave since the twelfth century had acted as had those in April and September 1378, electing two concurrent popes. This crisis was neither an issue of the authority claimed by the pope and the Holy Roman Emperor nor an issue of authority and liturgy. The Great Western Schism was unique because it forced upon Christianity a rethinking of the traditional medieval mental frame. It raised question of personality, authority, human fallibility, ecclesiastical jurisdiction and taxation, and in the end responsibility in holding power and authority. This collection presents the broadest range of experiences, center and periphery, clerical and lay, male and female, Christian and Muslim. Theology, including exegesis of Scripture, diplomacy, French literature, reform, art, and finance all receive attention.Trade Review“Since its initiation in 2006, the series to which this volume belongs has established itself as a major reference point for scholars working on Christian history. The volumes offer comprehensive reviews of the state of play in a specific field of research without sacrificing quality and originality in their contributions. This track record of success is maintained by the collection of essays under review, which provide the reader with a stimulating introduction to the most fruitful areas of current research on the Great Schism.” Norman Housley, University of Leicester. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 62, No. 2 (April 2011), pp. 385-386. "Given the deeply contested historical interpretations of the Schism ... the present volume develops a welcome methodological commitment to an “antipartisan” (or benignly a-confessional) approach to this historically contested field...engages both the history and the historiography of the Great Schism while simultaneously presenting a fresh methodological approach to this previously contentious era of ecclesial history." John T. Slotemaker, Boston College. In Religious Studies Review, Vol. 37, No.3 (September 2011), pp. 223. "This volume adds to an already large and impressive collection in Brill’s series of companions to the Christian tradition, which cover mostly the medieval and Reformation periods, giving attention to such topics as quodlibetical disputations, prayer, penance, indulgences, and several important historical figures. This volume is a welcome addition to the series, gathering together as it does several intelligently written chapters by leading scholars engaging with the most up-to-date scholarship. The volume aims to be introductory, and it achieves this aim admirably." Sean Otto, Wycliffe College, Toronto School of Theology. In: Toronto Journal of Theology, Vol. 27, No. 1 (2011), pp. 117–118. "This wide-ranging and fascinating collection deserves a large readership, offering much to everyone from neophytes to seasoned scholars. Each of the eleven contributors examines and carefully evaluates earlier research, and then presents new contexts and materials for analyzing various aspects of the Schism." Alison Williams Lewin, Saint Joseph’s University. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 63, No. 4 (Winter 2010), pp. 1332-1333. "Mit diesem Sammelband ist es Herausgebern und Autoren zweifellos gelungen, einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung des Schisma-Ausbruchs und seines Verlaufs zu liefern. Die auch methodisch ambitionierten Ansätze zeigen Wege auf, wie es möglich ist, lange schon ungelöste Probleme auf innovative und produktive Art und Weise anzugehen."

Brill Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), le philosophe de
Book SynopsisThis book contains 15 essays by philosophers, theologians and historians from the Netherlands, France, Italy, England and the United States on Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), the French Protestant who found refuge in Rotterdam just before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685). From the early 1680s onward, Bayle published a series of seminal works, culminating in his Dictionaire historique et critique (1697), that is generally regarded to have served as the "arsenal" of the Enlightenment. Over the last few decades, Bayle has been rediscovered as one of the key authors of the early Enlightenment, but experts have found it extremely difficult to come to any agreement concerning his ultimate position, most notably concerning the relationship between faith and philosophy. In this volume both Bayle's philosophy and his theological views are assessed as well as his impact on the Enlightenment and beyond. Contributors include: Hubert Bost, Hans Bots, Wiep van Bunge, Justin Champion, Jonathan Israel, Eric Jorink, Lenie van Lieshout, Antony McKenna, Gianni Paganini, Marie-Hélène Quéval, Todd Ryan, Adam Sutcliffe, Rob van der Schoor, Theo Verbeek, and Jan de Vet.Trade Review"The book gives readers a scrupulously reliable and often insightful introduction to Bayle’s life and thought."

Brill Hugo Grotius: A Lifelong Struggle for Peace in Church and State, 1583 – 1645
Book SynopsisHugo Grotius (1583-1645) is the most famous humanist scholar of the Dutch Golden Age. He wrote influential works on the laws of war and peace, Dutch history and the unification of the churches. His plea for a freedom of the seas in Mare liberum offered the Dutch East India Company a ready justification for the establishment of a trading empire in the East Indies. As far as his daily duties left him any spare time, he penned confidential, learned and beautifully-written letters. This voluminous correspondence offers a trove of information on Grotius’ life and works, and forms the basis of his newest biography which sketches a life caught in a fierce struggle for peace in Church and State.Trade ReviewAWARDS The Dutch version of this biography, Hugo de Groot, een leven in strijd om de vrede (Amsterdam: 2007) was awarded two literary prizes: the ‘Litteraire Witte Prijs’ by Sociëteit de Witte (The Hague) in 2008 and the ‘Henriëtte de Beaufort Prijs’ by the Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde (Leiden) in 2010.Table of ContentsPreface ... xiii List of Illustrations ... xvi Notes on the Illustrations ... xx 1 INTRODUCTION ... 1 Hugo de Groot: A World-Famous Scholar ... 1 A Biography ... 2 Some Main Lines: A Troubled Triangular Relationship ... 7 Terminology ... 13 2 CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH (1583-99) ... 14 Ancestry ... 14 Grotius’ Earliest Childhood ... 24 Grotius as a Student ... 33 The French Journey (1598) ... 44 3 ON THE WAY TO ADULTHOOD (1599-1607) ... 53 Scholarly Activities, Relations with Johan van Oldenbarnevelt ... 53 Leiden Friends: Heinsius, Meursius and Baudius ... 61 Grotius and Simon Stevin ... 67 ‘De republica emendanda’ ... 71 Advocate in The Hague; Relations with Johannes Wtenbogaert ... 73 The Bankruptcy of Jan de Groot ... 82 Family Life ... 88 4 ADVOCATE-FISCAL (1607-13) ... 91 De iure praedae as a Step towards the Advocate-Fiscalship ... 91 Grotius as Advocate-Fiscal ... 94 Maria van Reigersberch ... 97 Peace or Truce? ... 102 Mare liberum and De antiquitate ... 106 Administrative Duties ... 112 Relationship with the Stadholder Maurice ... 116 A Poem for Hendrik Delmanhorst ... 118 Leiden Friends: Scaliger, Baudius and Heinsius ... 120 5 A BUDDING POLITICIAN (1609-13) ... 124 The Troubles of the Truce Years ... 124 The Death of Jacobus Arminius ... 127 Johannes Wtenbogaert ... 133 Conradus Vorstius ... 136 Meletius ... 137 Leiden Friends: Petrus Bertius and Petrus Cunaeus ... 143 Political Complications (1611–13) ... 147 The English Journey (1613) ... 149 Discussions with the King and Other Great Men at the English Court ... 155 Return ... 162 6 PENSIONARY OF ROTTERDAM (1613-16) ... 165 The Pensionary’s Office as a Turning Point ... 165 The Appointment ... 167 Rotterdam ... 168 Family Life ... 170 Ordinum pietas ... 171 The Aftermath ... 177 Three Letters from 1614 ... 191 Political Career ... 199 7 AN INTELLECTUAL IN A TIME OF REVOLUTION (1616-18) ... 209 Political and Scholarly Activities ... 209 Adolphus Venator, A Hunter for the Truth ... 216 Hubbub in The Hague ... 220 Troublesome Missions: Oudewater and After ... 222 De satisfactione ... 232 De imperio circa sacra ... 239 English Connections ... 244 French Policy ... 249 The Approach of the National Synod ... 251 The Denouement ... 255 8 TRIAL AND IMPRISONMENT (1618-21) ... 264 The Road to Arrest ... 264 Arrest and Imprisonment ... 268 The Trial ... 272 Loevestein ... 293 A Brother’s Services ... 298 The Escape ... 302 9 EXILE (1621-25) ... 313 Paris, A Refuge in a Turbulent World ... 313 Family Life ... 315 Grotius and the French Political Authorities ... 323 Developments in French Calvinism ... 330 Remonstrants in Exile ... 332 Disquisitio an pelagiana sint ... 335 Verantwoordingh ... 340 Grotius and Charenton ... 353 Introduction to the Learned World of Paris.

Brill Secularisation in Australian Education since 1910
Book SynopsisThe phrase “free, compulsory, and secular” is central to Australia’s understanding of its own education system. Yet the extent to which education in Australia, or anywhere else for that matter, can be described as “secular” is never clear or settled. This work examines the history of education in Australia, from 1910 through to the present, through an interdisciplinary survey of key scholarship and a series of six original case studies. It seeks to uncover the extent to which the education system has undergone a process of secularisation and argues that the very meaning of the term “secular” is always contingent and changeable.Table of ContentsContents List of Tables Abstract Keywords Part 1: Secularisation and Australian Education: Definitions and Approaches Part 2: Religious Instruction and State Schools: Expansion and Constraint in the Early Twentieth Century Part 3: Government and Non-government Schools: Questions of Faith, Choice, and Control in the 1960s and 1970s Part 4: Twenty-First Century Debates: Christian Influence in a Complex System Part 5: Conclusion Acknowledgements
