Octopus Publishing Group Hollywood Blackout
Book SynopsisAre the Oscars (still) so white? Is it even possible to decolonise the film industry? Why is Hollywood''s race problem everyone''s problem?Ignoring the systemic racial inequalities in film is losing the industry $10 billion a year. Yet, parity, diversity, and inclusion are fundamental issues that the Oscar Awards are only just beginning to address.In this book, award-winning writer, broadcaster, model, and fashion designer, Ben Arogundade, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about Hollywood - documenting the stories and struggles of black artists within the movie industry that have so far been left out of the canon.The chapters are structured chronologically around different Oscar winners, from Hattie McDaniel to Halle Berry. Each section is rich with exhaustive research from critics, activists, and academics, as well as interviews with stars and those within the film industry, to demonstrate sociological and historical influences on black artists, highlight positive progress, and make you realise that certain attitudes still remain.Hollywood Blackout is a much-needed provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives within film, and examine how the industry both reflects and influences societal views on race.

Reaktion Books Leonardo's Paradox: Word and Image in the Making
Book SynopsisLeonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was one of the preeminent figures of the Italian Renaissance. He was also one of the most paradoxical. He spent an incredible amount of time writing notebooks, perhaps even more time than he ever held a brush, yet at the same time Leonardo was Renaissance culture's most fanatical critic of the word. When Leonardo criticized writing he criticized it as an expert on words; when he was painting, writing remained in the back of his brilliant mind. In this book, Joost Keizer argues that the comparison between word and image fueled Leonardo's thought. The paradoxes at the heart of Leonardo's ideas and practice also defined some of Renaissance culture's central assumptions about culture and nature: that there is a look to script, that painting offered a path out of culture and back to nature, that the meaning of images emerged in comparison with words, and that the difference between image-making and writing also amounted to a difference in the experience of time.

Intellect Books Canadian Critical Luxury Studies: Decentring
Book SynopsisCanadian Critical Luxury Studies: Decentering Luxury is a dynamic new contribution to the study of luxury. The essays in this collection challenge Euro- and US-centric perceptions that bind luxury to either a colonial past or a consumerist present. The book announces a new collective of thinkers who focus on Indigenous and Canadian instances of luxurious production, experiences and sites to propose a new definition of luxury that includes a plurality of regional practices highlighting that Canadian luxury centres on community and connection. Each of the interdisciplinary contributions analyse luxury from different vantage points to understand why luxury has succeeded or failed in the Canadian context. From the history of the fur trade to the latest Indigenous fashion movement, from the T. Eaton Co.’s 1920s Made-in-Canada campaign to the on-again-off-again Toronto Fashion Week, from Vancouver public art commissions to Montréal’s future-forward fashiontech sector, the essays in this volume explain what makes and breaks Canadian luxury. These original case studies redefine luxury for Canada – a former colonial possession and contemporary second-tier cultural market – and lay the foundation for the critical study of luxury in other historically secondary geographies that produce, consume and circulate material and symbolic luxuries. The collection ultimately challenges old myths and the mystique surrounding European luxury to give it a new lustre that shines light on those actors who have been historically excluded from its privilege: Indigenous peoples, immigrants, the working classes. It sheds light on the reasons that conventional expressions of luxury may fail in secondary markets and offers guidance for fashiontech innovations that invest in the individual without imposing dehumanizing values of efficiency and rational measurement. Although focused on the Canadian context, the book will appeal to an international audience of scholarly and industry readers. Its interventions about broadening the focus of luxury studies beyond traditional sites in Western Europe make it an important text for global audiences. It offers an alternate reading of conventional luxury histories, sites and practices; in doing so, it models a national approach to luxury that can be applied to alternate national markets. Jessica P. Clark is a historian of Britain and empire, with a focus on gender, consumption and labour, and an associate professor of history at Brock University, Ontario, Canada. Nigel Lezama is an associate professor of French studies at Brock University and works at the intersection of fashion, luxury, literary and cultural studies. Contributions are drawn from a number of fields including, but not limited to, Indigenous studies, museum studies, business management, cultural studies, fashion studies, technology and industry. Contributors include Kathryn Franklin, University of Toronto; Rebecca Halliday, Toronto Metropolitan University; Riley Kucheran, Toronto Metropolitan University; Valérie Lamontagne, Concordia University; Marie O'Mahony, Ontario College of Art and Design; Julia Polyck-O'Neill, York University, Ontario. This is a primarily an academic book. It is of great relevance to scholars within the subfield of critical luxury studies, as well as scholars of consumer and commodity cultures more broadly, and those working or interested in Canadian studies, media studies, critical studies, and historians. Researchers and postgraduate students studying luxury as well as those studying the history of the development of Canada, its colonial past and the marginalization of Indigenous people, and with the development of fashion technologies will also find it useful. Academics and practitioners concerned with the development of city and nation branding will find the book of value.

Association pour la generalisation de l'Inventaire regional en Picardie Architectures Religieuses du Canton de
Book SynopsisAux portes d'Amiens, le canton de Villers-Bocage offre au promeneur nombre d'eglises et de chapelles souvent meconnues, qui refletent l'evolution de l'architecture religieuse de la fin du Moyen Age au XIXe siecle. Les plus anciennes sont belles eglises en craie, de style flamboyant, construites aux XVe et XVIe siecles (Contay, Montonvillers, Querrieu, Villers-Bocage...). D'autres edifices ont ete batis aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles dans un style plus epure, comme l'eglise de Vadencourt. Au XIXe siecle enfin, on assiste a un renouveau architectural qui s'exprime par le truchement de styles historiques varies, allant du classicisme hellenique ou romain au gothique, en passant par l'inspiration byzantine et l'inspiration romane, tout en manifestant un renouvellement des materiaux employes. Le visiteur decouvrira ainsi dans le canton de Villers-Bocage une architecture religieuse tres representative du XIXe siecle, tant sur le plan de la variete des styles que sur le plan de la conbinaison stylistique, propre a l'eclectisme apparu a Paris sous le Second Empire, et dont l'eglise de Cardonnette constitue un bel exemple.

Bohlau Verlag Mauthausen und die nationalsozialistische
Book SynopsisEuropa in Mauthausen stellt erstmals umfassend die Geschichte der Überlebenden eines nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslagers dar. Diese beruht auf einer einmaligen Sammlung von über 850 lebensgeschichtlichen Interviews mit Überlebenden aus ganz Europa, Israel, Nord- und Südamerika.Der erste Band präsentiert einen Überblick über das Lager und die Mauthausen-Forschung; er konzentriert sich einleitend auf methodologische Überlegungen und makropolitische Zusammenhänge. Die Beiträge zeigen, dass dem nationalsozialistischen Lagersystem in hohem Maße eine Funktion in den Besatzungs- und Verfolgungspolitiken des NS-Regimes (und der kollaborierenden Länder) zukam.

Schnell & Steiner GmbH, Verlag Imagining Byzantium: Perceptions, Patterns,
Book SynopsisByzantium the other. Byzantium the pompous. Byzantium the eternal. The mere existence of this empire spurred the minds of people of all ranks during its existence and well after its ultimate demise in 1453. Neglecting its great political and cultural influence, Enlighteners divested Byzantium of its historic reality and created a model to be applied in completely different constructs. With the rise of nationalism in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th century, the reception of Byzantium gained new facets and dimensions. In this volume some light will be shed on the different ways in which »Byzantium« was used in constructing new national narratives, and how its legacy endured in ecclesiastical historiography.

Vida imaginaria
Book SynopsisGINZBURG INÉDITAUn libro icónico de una maestra en la elección de las palabras (El País), admirada por Elena Ferrante, Italo Calvino y Rachel Cusk: una mezcla perfecta de ensayo y autobiografía.Todo lo queNatalia Ginzburg evoca y describe sucede en nosotros como por primera vez, pero perdura para siempre. En Vida imaginaria, quizá su obra menos conocida, pero al mismo tiempo la más versátil y combativa, publicada en 1974 e inédita en castellano, la autora aborda, entre otros asuntos, la condición de la mujer y el feminismo, la infancia y las incertidumbres de la edad adulta o la debilidad de nuestras democracias. También retrata a algunos escritores muy queridos por ella, como Italo Calvino, Elsa Morante o Cesare Pavese, y nos habla de películas y de directores (Fellini, Bergman) cuyo arte supo reconocer desde el principio. Con su discreta contundencia y su voz única, Ginzburg participa, a través de cada uno de estos treinta textos, en la vida de hoy, de un hoy que data de hace medio siglo pero que el lector traslada con naturalidad al aquí y al ahora y a los dilemas estéticos, morales y políticos a los que nos seguimos enfrentando.La crítica ha dicho...Vida imaginaria muestra su soledad, dureza, dulzura, severidad, impulsividad, lucidez. Sus páginas resonarán en la memoria como un amigo al que hemos reencontrado.Annalena Benini, Il FoglioVida imaginaria podría leerse como una novela o como una autobiografía colectiva y plural.Maria Rizzarelli, DoppiozeroHumilde y lúcida, transparente y precisa, una maestra en la elección de las palabras.Íñigo Domínguez, El PaísEl empleo de la primera persona en Natalia es algo más que un recurso narrativo: es la forma de expresar una relación con el mundo, una relación directa, nunca psicologizada, nunca intelectualizada, nunca poetizada. El secreto de la sencillez de Natalia reside aquí.Italo Calvino, La StampaNatalia Ginzburg, cuando escribe, se muestra segura; no titubea, no retrocede, no necesita aparentar afectación ni artificio. Sus palabras, más que sencillas, son exactas.Nadia Terranova, TuttoLibriSiempre coloquial, llena de acentos emocionales [?] la voz de Ginzburg rompía los moldes, iba directa al corazón del juicio crítico. Ni perífrasis ni elogios formales. Solo lo que su inteligencia dictaba. [...] Sus palabras eran siempre de una luminosa precisión, [?] directas, incisivas como un bisturí.Giulia Alberico, L?Osservatore RomanoQué placer, qué sorpresa el descubrimiento tardío de las obras maestras de Natalia Ginzburg, no solo de ficción, sino también de no ficción.Pierluigi Battista, Huffington PostEste libro la acerca a figuras como Simone Weil o Anna Maria Ortese.Treccani
