Duke University Press Writings on Media: History of the Present
Writings on Media gathers more than twenty of Stuart Hall's media analyses, from scholarly essays such as “Encoding and Decoding in the Television Discourse” (1973) to other writings addressed to wider publics. Hall explores the practices of news photography, the development of media and cultural studies, the changing role of television, and how the nation imagines itself through popular media. He attends to Britain's imperial history and the politics of race and cultural identity as well as the media's relationship to the political project of the state. Testifying to the range and agility of Hall's critical and pedagogic engagement with contemporary media culture—and also to his collaborative mode of working—this volume reaffirms his stature as an innovative media theorist while demonstrating the continuing relevance of his methods of analysis.

The debut book from award-winning Southern architect Stan Dixon, one of a highly influential group of Atlanta-based architects and designers who are revolutionizing the design world with their work.

Dixon takes risks in blending genres and styles, with results that are creative and original. In his first book, Dixon shares thirteen projects that vary geographically and stylistically from a whimsical coastal retreat on Jupiter Island to an elegant English-manor-inspired dwelling on the coast of South Carolina. Each house explores a different component of his aesthetic, instructing the reader in the nature of authentic architecture while simultaneously delighting them with moments large and small a shadow of garden gate, a striking stairwell, a tiered veranda. Photographed entirely by Eric Piasecki, featuring the work of Suzanne Kasler, Jackye Lanham, Carolyn Malone, Beth Webb, Tammy Connor, and other talented designers, HOME: The Residential Architecture of D. Stanley Dixon will resonate with and deeply engage readers in search of home.

De Gruyter Watteau – kolonial: Herrschaft, Handel und Galanterie im Frankreich des Régence
What were the early visions of Empire in Regency France? The book offers a interpretation of Jean-Antoine Watteau’s Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera (1717) by framing it in the context of French colonial expansion in the years of the Regency. Born in Louis XIV’s reign, galant aesthetics contributed to frame the colonial encounter in French America. Fantasies of maritime departure, embarkation and/or debarkation, also expressed a longing for colonial travel and exploration. The imperial imagination fueled with codes of galanterie was very developed in the circles of Watteau’s amateurs. From Watteau’s Pilgrimage to the Isle of Cythera (1717) to its visual reenactment in 1763, the book argues that galanterie served as a visual and conceptual model of French commercial and colonial relations. Quelles furent les premières visions de l’Empire dans la France de la Régence ? Cet ouvrage propose une interprétation nouvelle du Pèlerinage à l’île de Cythère (1717) de Jean-Antoine Watteau en le replaçant dans le contexte de l’expansion coloniale française des années de la Régence. Née sous le règne et l’imperium de Louis XIV, l’esthétique galante a contribué à donner une forme visuelle à la rencontre coloniale en Amérique française. Les motifs du débarquement, de l’embarquement et du voyage maritime, essentiels dans ce tableau, exprimaient également un désir de voyage et de conquête. L’imaginaire impérial, alimenté par les codes de la galanterie était très développé dans les cercles des commanditaires de Watteau, eux-mêmes proches des cercles des Modernes, qui défendaient de nouvelles formes esthétiques en art et en littérature. Du Pèlerinage à l’île de Cythère (1717) de Watteau à son remploi visuel en 1763 dans une vue d’optique, le livre soutient que la galanterie servit comme ressource formelle au développement de l’imaginaire colonial français.
