Cambridge University Press After the Berlin Wall
Book SynopsisThe history and meaning of the Berlin Wall remain controversial, even three decades after its fall. Drawing on a range of archival sources and interviews, this book charts the development of new narratives of the recent German past and explores the significance of the commemoration of the Berlin Wall in defining German national identity.Trade Review'An original mixture of journalistic reporting and scholarly analysis, this will be the definitive work on the subject of the aftermath of the Wall.' Konrad H. Jarausch, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and author of Out of Ashes: A New History of Europe in the Twentieth Century'Hope M. Harrison's superbly informed and often moving study of the Berlin Wall demonstrates that the issues of whom to honor and punish, how to memorialize, and how to integrate into the history of German dictatorship, have made its history a continuing site of political contestation. And poignantly today, a reminder of the era when we strove to tear down walls and not to build them.' Charles S. Maier, Harvard University and author of Dissolution: The Crisis of Communism and the End of East Germany'Hope M. Harrison provides an extraordinary account of an extraordinary event and its legacies, both factual and political, and it will certainly frame the discussion for the future. It is a tremendous achievement.' Jeffrey K. Olick, William R. Kenan Professor of Sociology and History, University of Virginia'A riveting and compelling account of Germany's post-1989 struggle over the history and memory of the Berlin Wall. Masterfully told with critical distance and yet deep empathy, Harrison engages the reader in the dramatic contest over the past and future of the new Germany.' Christian F. Ostermann, Director of the History and Public Policy Program, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars 'A tour de force, breaking new ground in showing us how German memory activists turned the focus of national history to the Cold War, and in particular to the wall, the dismantling of which embodied the peaceful end of that struggle for freedom.' Jay Winter, Yale University, Connecticut'… many years in the making and is the result of meticulous research.' Georgina Paul, The Times Literary Supplement'… carefully researched and superbly readable …' Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs'This important book offers a comprehensive account of how the Berlin Wall has been remembered and memorialized since its fall in 1989 … this clearly written and highly readable text will appeal to scholars and general readers alike.' H. D. Baer, Choice'… far-ranging, well-researched and highly readable study … After the Berlin Wall is a major achievement by a leading scholar, a study that will, for the foreseeable future, set the standard for any serious exploration of unified Germany's memory culture surrounding the Berlin Wall.' Pertti Ahonen, H-Diplo'… the book adds to our understanding of the Wall as a touchstone and sounding board for memory. Harrison succeeds in bringing out the palimpsest qualities of this stark, spray-painted structure.' Mark Fenemore, H-Diplo'Comprehensively researched, beautifully written …' Mary Fulbrook, H-Diplo'Hope M. Harrison's splendid book is a tremendous achievement … It will frame the memory and identity discussions for the future.' Stephan Kieninger, H-Diplo'… the book [is] so beneficial for everybody who studies the history of the Berlin Wall.'

Cambridge University Press The Return of Cultural Treasures
Book SynopsisIn recent years controversial cases such as the so-called Elgin Marbles have prompted public debate on the return of cultural treasures to their homelands. In this fully revised and expanded third edition of her seminal work, first published in 2007, Jeanette Greenfield analyzes and discusses the historical, legal and political issues surrounding a wide cross-section of similar cases. Bringing the story up to date, this edition includes new chapters on wartime plunders, deliberately destroyed art and the return of ethnic art such as Australian aboriginal and Native American art. It also explores the palaeontological and marine archaeology issues at play and examines new approaches taken by museums when dealing with cultural objects and their return. Written in a highly accessible style with an interdisciplinary approach, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in cultural heritage, archaeology and anthropology, museums, art history and international law.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: '[Described the central topic of this book as] 'the morally rather beautiful idea that certain objects belong by right to a culture, and that in certain circumstances this overrides rights of circumstantial ownership.' Arthur C. Danto, The Times Literary SupplementReview of the hardback: 'She brings style, enthusiasm and the mind an international lawyer to the complex historical, legal and political issues … A book for everyone concerned about Earth's scientific, historic and artistic heritage …' The TimesReview of the hardback: 'This remarkable book represents on the one hand, an important contribution to the law, both international and domestic, of the cultural heritage, and on the other hand a contribution likewise to the history of the movement of cultural treasures.' Australian Law JournalReview of the hardback: 'Both readable and with its hundred excellent illustrations a delight to browse through …' British Yearbook of International LawReview of the hardback: '[Jeanette Greenfield] presents an involving, balanced and excellently researched discussion of the priceless cultural artefacts taken from their lands of origin …' Art and AntiquesReview of the hardback: 'A fine book on a very important subject often surrounded not just by controversy but plain lies. It is a book which all interested in the cultural heritage of the people of the world will find rewarding reading.' Sydney Morning HeraldReview of the hardback: 'An extremely readable and accessible account of the complex legal issues involved in the question of repatriation … a well thought out balanced presentation …' Current AnthropologyReview of the hardback: '… a very valuable and important work … presents fully researched discussions of scores of cases argued over many years concerning national requests for 'repatriation' and 'return' of art and artefacts.' American Journal of ArchaeologyReview of the hardback: 'The first edition of this highly readable study was an important landmark in the debates about the antiquities trade.' British ArchaeologyReview of the hardback: '… provides a very fair analysis of this complex issue … a beautifully produced book … a standard reference on the subject.' Australian SocietyReview of the hardback: 'Greenfield's book is an excellent guide for any would-be cultural politician.' Financial TimesReview of the hardback: '… a breakthrough book … which treats in a very detailed and illuminating and nuanced way, processes about which folklorists increasingly are … concerned: the expropriation of cultural capital and its use by powerful nation-states for the purposes of political legitimization, and then its repatriation, as a result of growing pressure from those from whom it was taken.' Lingua Franca'… essential for reflection and reference for anyone wishing to engage in the increasingly public debate about the ownership of cultural property. … There are substantial, enlightening studies of many specific cases, and very readable discussions of the complex moral, political and legal contexts. New additions include chapters on plunder, native rights to relics and human remains, and the deliberate deconstruction of art. It all benefits greatly from being a clear minded, single-authorised study rather than an edited collection' British Archaeology'The Return of Cultural Treasures is an enjoyable read. Greenfield is strong on facts and knows how to tell an attractive story. The volume is lively and rich in juicy morsels. It is also attractively presented, with 139 illustrations, most of them photos.' Journal of Business Law'Dr Greenfield has certainly produced a masterpiece which we can recommend to both beginners and specialists. I know of no other book on the issue of restitution which comes close to this book in its breadth of knowledge and careful detailed analysis.'

MIT Press Curating After the Global The MIT Press Roadmaps
Book SynopsisWhat it means to be global—or to be local—in the context of artistic, curatorial, and theoretical knowledge and practice.In this volume, an international, interdisciplinary group of writers discuss what it means to be global—or to be local—in the context of artistic, curatorial and theoretical knowledge and practice. Continuing the discussion begun in The Curatorial Conundrum (2016) and How Institutions Think (2017), Curating After the Global considers curating and questions of locality, geopolitical change, the reassertion of nation-states, and the violent diminishing of citizen and denizen rights across the globe.It has become commonplace to talk of a globalized art world and even to speak of contemporary art as a driver of globalization. This universalization of what art is or can be is often presumed to be at the cost of local traditions and any sense of locality and embeddedness. But need this be the case? The contribut

The University of Alabama Press The Temple and the Forum The American Museum and
Book SynopsisThe rise of the museum as a cultural institution in 19th-century America brought with it many contested notions. This work explores the shared concerns and practices of 19th-century American museums and the literary productions of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Walt Whitman.Trade ReviewAn ambitious, highly original, well-written, and beautifully researched piece of scholarship.... Harrison's project is the first to analyze fully P. T. Barnum's American Museum - arguably the best-known cultural institution in antebellum America - in relation to the literary culture of the period. His concern with the politics of interpretation and authority in public spaces links a surprising range of writers to the commercial extravaganzas pioneered by Barnum, and it leads Harrison to a remarkable excavation of antebellum America's now-forgotten public spaces. In its careful attention to the politics of cultural authority, The Temple and the Forum proves a worthy successor to Lawrence Levine's classic Highbrow/Lowbrow. - Benjamin Reiss, author of The Showman and the Slave: Race, Death, and Memory in Barnum's America

The author develops a complex theoretical edifice that combines in a judicial way the biological, psychological, and situational approaches to personality. I am certain that Fajkowska's new theory will exert much influence in the years ahead.' (Michael W. Eysenck, Roehampton University, Whitelands College) 'A masterpiece. This book includes many new ideas, presents new material, and constitutes the platform for a new approach to personality.

(Shulamith Kreitler, Tel Aviv University) 'In this book Malgorzata Fajkowska presents her Complex-System Approach to Personality, a pioneering attempt to integrate personality research that proposes a model in which temperament traits and attentional processes are functionally related.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC What Is Public History Globally
Book SynopsisAcross the globe, history has gone public. With the rise of the internet, family historians are now delving into archives continents apart. Activists look into and recreate the past to promote social justice or environmental causes. Dark and difficult pasts are confronted at sites of commemoration. Artists draw on memory and the past to study the human condition and make meaning in the present. As a result of this democratisation of history, public history movements have now risen to prominence.This groundbreaking edited collection takes a comprehensive look at public history throughout the world. Divided into three sections - Background, Definitions and Issues; Approaches and Methods; and Sites of Public History - it contextualises public history in eleven different countries, explores the main research skills and methods of the discipline and illustrates public history research with a variety of global case studies. What is Public History Globally? provides an in-depth examinaTrade ReviewThis book will appeal to those engaging with practical history. Each chapter explores Public History whilst engaging with current critical stances. International writers, using academic contexts, clearly illustrate important differences between nations and localities, developing new aspects of Public History. * Hilda Kean, Former Director of Public History, Ruskin College, Oxford, UK *The interrogative title poses an important question. It is answered in wonderfully diverse essays: eleven map the terrain of public history in distinct national contexts; nine examine particular methods and approaches, many across contexts; and four focus on specific sites with striking comparative or trans-national implications. This triangulation complements the editors’ intriguing and suggestive subtitle—‘working with the past in the present”: the collection as a whole is considerably more than the sum of the individually impressive parts. * Michael Frisch, Senior Research Scholar and Emeritus Professor in History, University of Buffalo, USA *Table of ContentsList of Figures List of Contributors Acknowledgements Introduction The Public Turn: History Today, Paul Ashton and Alex Trapeznik Section 1: Background, Definitions and Issues 1.

New York University Press The Museum
Book SynopsisCelebrates the resilience of American cultural institutions in the face of national crises and challengesOn an afternoon in January 1865, a roaring fire swept through the Smithsonian Institution. Dazed soldiers and worried citizens could only watch as the flames engulfed the museum's castle. Rare objects and valuable paintings were destroyed. The flames at the Smithsonian were not the firstand certainly would not be the last disaster to upend a museum in the United States. Beset by challenges ranging from pandemic and war to fire and economic uncertainty, museums have sought ways to emerge from crisis periods stronger than before, occasionally carving important new paths forward in the process. The Museum explores the concepts of crisis as it relates to museums, and how these historic institutions have dealt with challenges ranging from depression and war to pandemic and philosophical uncertainty. Fires, floods, and hurricanes have all upended museum plans Trade Review"The Museum: A Short History of Crisis and Resilience was a book born out of the pandemic. Originally conceived in early 2020 as a look at the current state of museums and where they were headed in the future, the project took on a new meaning – and a new trajectory – as the coronavirus swept across the globe…What emerged from that moment is a slender, taut work of scholarship that explores how museums have responded to crises both external and internal, beginning with the massive 1865 fire at the Smithsonian. In addition to the Smithsonian fire and the Spanish flu, Redman also looks at cataclysms like the Great Depression, the second world war, the coronavirus and the national protests following the death of George Floyd, as well as more existential crises like the culture wars of the 1980s and 90s and museums’ own legacies as agents of colonialism and exploitation." * The Guardian *"The book springs to life in an account of the 1970 Art Strike in New York, a largely failed but influential effort to goad museums into denouncing the Vietnam War. (The Metropolitan’s clumsy response gets deserved attention.) He causally links this to subsequent repatriation of Indigenous remains starting in the 1980s, and the maelstrom of controversy surrounding displaying the Enola Gay at the Air and Space Museum. Redman brings the story up to the minute in a final chapter contemplating the impacts of the antiracism movement and the global pandemic ... Contains many touchpoints of cultural history and is a timely, engaging read." * Library Journal *"Historian and professional Samuel J. Redman lends a fine analytical eye to the discussions that blend historical events with broader questions about museum operations, community presence, and special challenges. The result is a detailed blend of reports and analysis that charts the evolution of the museum and the nature of its contents." * Midwest Book Review *"The Museum: A Short History of Crisis and Resilience is the latest museological history by historian and former museum professional Samuel J. Redman…the author convincingly, succinctly, and accessibly argues that ‘museums as institutions have proven extraordinarily durable as cultural concepts’." * Museum History Journal *"The Museum takes the reader behind the displays that present the public face of culture and science, to show how they have changed and will have to change to not just survive but to have relevancy in our age. The writing in this thought-provoking book on a subject not generally known is clear and well-organized" -- Robert S. Davis * New York Journal of Books *"Redman deftly considers the critical issues, past and present, that affect museums, offering a fascinating introduction to the ideology, hopes for, and problems of museum building and collection curation." -- Claire Potter, The New School"This wise book understands that crisis and conflict bring change because people must act whether ready or not. Redman examines five key moments over the past 150 years in the United States when war, economic downturns, and popular unrest from both left and right challenged and transformed the country’s museums in ways that their leaders did not anticipate. An essential book for understanding the trajectory of US museums from the Civil War to the present." -- Richard Candida Smith, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Berkeley"Redman deploys an innovative and provocative approach to considering the history of museums in the US during the twentieth century, framed in terms of how they responded to crises originating both within and outside the institution. The Museum presents a masterful synthesis of diverse historical sources offering the reader fresh insights into the role of museums in American society. Written to be accessible to a broad audience, it is the perfect text for anyone interested in the history of American museums, and more broadly twentieth-century cultural history." -- Raymond Silverman, Professor Emeritus of History of Art and Critical Museum Studies, University of Michigan
