On the Death of Jews - Nadine Fresco - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

On the Death of Jews - Nadine Fresco - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

“A meticulous and shattering investigation of eight horrific pictures…”— L’Arche In December 1941, on a shore near the Latvian city of Liepaja, Nazi death squads (the Einsatzgruppen) and local collaborators murdered in three days more than 2,700 Jews. The majority were women and children, most men having already been shot during the summer. The perpetrators took pictures of the December killings. These pictures are among the rare photographs from the first period of the extermination, during which over 800 000 Jews from the Baltic to the Black Sea were shot to death. By showing the importance of photography in understanding persecution, Nadine Fresco offers a powerful meditation on these images while confronting the essential questions of testimony and guilt. From the forward by Dorota Glowackay:Straddling the boundary between historical inquiry and personal reflection, this extraordinary text unfolds as a series of encounters with eponymic Holocaust photographs. Although only a small number of photographs are reproduced here, Fresco provides evocative descriptions of many well-known images: synagogues and Torah scrolls burning on the night of Kristallnacht; deportations to the ghettos and the camps; and, finally, mass executions in the killing fi elds of Eastern Europe. The unique set of photographs included in On the Death of Jews shows groups of women and children from Liepaja (Liep ája), shortly before they were killed in December 1941 in the dunes of Shkede (Šk éde) on the Baltic Sea. In the last photograph of the series, we see the victims’ bodies tumbling into the pit.

Degas' Little Dancer Aged Fourteen - Dr. Gregory Hedberg - Bog - Arnoldsche - Plusbog.dk

Degas' Little Dancer Aged Fourteen - Dr. Gregory Hedberg - Bog - Arnoldsche - Plusbog.dk

A recently discovered plaster of Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen is critically challenging our understanding of Edgar Degas'' most famous work. Documentary and technical evidence confirm that the plaster was cast from Degas'' Little Dancer before the wax sculpture was extensively reworked after 1903. The plaster thus records Degas'' wax as it appeared when it shocked the Parisian art world at the sixth Impressionist exhibition of 1881. It reveals a far more revolutionary work than the reworked Little Dancer wax and the posthumous Hébrard bronzes we know today. The plaster shows why Joris-Karl Huysmans, in 1881, raved that Degas'' Little Dancer was "the only truly modern attempt I know of in sculpture" and why the work left Whistler in a state of near delirium. The plaster reveals Degas at his most innovative by introducing a radical idea of posing a lowly ''opera rat'' as a revered figure by giving her an iconic pose, then locking her into a square vitrine, thus emphasising her symmetrical, four-sided stance. It is now clear that in his Little Dancer Degas anticipated radical ideas that came to define key aspects of modern art, dramatically impacting his most noted peers, including Whistler, Manet, Seurat and Sargent. Even twentieth-century masterpieces by Duchamp, Giacometti, Oldenburg, Warhol and Hirst reflect, albeit indirectly, Degas'' masterful innovations.

The Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh: A Little Learning - Evelyn Waugh - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh: A Little Learning - Evelyn Waugh - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This volume is part of the Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh critical edition, which brings together all Waugh''s published and previously unpublished writings for the first time with comprehensive introductions and annotation, and a full account of each text''s manuscript development and textual variants. The edition''s General Editor is Alexander Waugh, Evelyn Waugh''s grandson and editor of the twelve-volume Personal Writings sequence.In a writing career populated with characters and situations drawn closely from life, A Little Learning is unique. It is Waugh''s only finished, book-length work of autobiography, describing his ancestors and early childhood before arriving at boarding school in the South Downs and the Oxford University experiences that inspired his best-known work, Brideshead Revisited (1945). A Little Learning was intended to be the first of three autobiographical volumes, but Waugh died before more than a fragment of its successor, A Little Hope, was completed, making A Little Learning his last book. In this new critical edition, John Howard Wilson and Barbara Cooke lay out the complex literary and cultural inheritance of A Little Learning, and discuss the circumstances of its composition in a rapidly changing world from which Waugh felt increasingly isolated. For the first time, all the surviving fragments of A Little Hope are reproduced in full, and the volume brings together all Waugh''s major radio, TV, and magazine interviews which span his thirty-year career.

The Women of 'Little Paris' - Sonia Doris Andras - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Women of 'Little Paris' - Sonia Doris Andras - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Filling a gap in Eastern European fashion studies, this book presents middle-class women consuming fashion in the symbolic ‘Little Paris’ of interwar Bucharest, and examines how their material and cultural means supported the city’s modernisation. Combining archival research with personal archaeology, this interdisciplinary work explores Romania’s reinvention as a modern state, focusing on middle-class women as they lived their lives - walking through the streets, at lavish events, at cafes and clubs, shopping, and working. Analysing largely unseen, unused written and visual texts, The Women of ''Little Paris'' encourages exploration of new avenues for research, uniting scholars of Romanian culture, history and fashion and guiding readers through a forgotten, little explored world and, in so doing, adds to our understanding and knowledge of the global image of interwar fashion cultures and the emerging field of Romanian fashion studies.

Originally published in 1974, this volume of The History of Pompey the Little includes a critical introduction and a biographical sketch of the author based on new material from unpublished documents, together with explanatory notes for the novel''s many classical and contemporary allusions. Francis Coventry''s The History of Pompey the Little was the talk of London in 1751; it continued to captivate readers throughout the century. Satirizing notable persons and events of its day, it startled the public by having as its ''hero'' a Bologna lapdog, and created a new and popular form in English fiction - the ''spy''-novel with a non-human observer.

The Little Database - Daniel Scott Snelson - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

The Little Database - Daniel Scott Snelson - Bog - University of Minnesota Press - Plusbog.dk

A poetics for reading the everyday objects that populate a hard drive Bespoke online archives like PennSound and Eclipse host an astounding array of “old media” artifacts, posing a handcrafted counterpoint to the immense databases aggregated by digital titans like Google and Facebook. In The Little Database, Daniel Scott Snelson argues for the significance of these comparatively “small” collections, exploring how digital archives dramatically transform the artifacts they host and how they might help us better understand our own private collections in turn. Examining curated collections such as Textz, UbuWeb, and the Electronic Poetry Center, Snelson explores media-specific works by poets and artists, including William Carlos Williams, Tracie Morris, bill bissett, Nam June Paik, and Vicki Bennett. He develops creative tools and contingent methods for reading cultural data, whether found on the internet or in our own collections of TXT, JPG, MP3, and MOV artifacts, presenting case studies to show how these objects have come to find revised meaning in their digital contexts. Along the way, experimental poetic interludes give readers practical entry points into the creative practice of producing new meanings in any given little database. Inventive and interdisciplinary, The Little Database grapples with the digitized afterlives of cultural objects, showing how the past is continually reconfigured to shape the present. It invites readers to find playful and personal means for unpacking their own data collections, in the process discovering idiosyncratic ways to explore and connect with digital archives. Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.

Samuel Beckett in Confinement - Dr James Little - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Samuel Beckett in Confinement - Dr James Little - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Confinement appears repeatedly in Samuel Beckett’s oeuvre – from the asylums central to Murphy and Watt to the images of confinement that shape plays such as Waiting for Godot and Endgame . Drawing on spatial theory and new archival research, Beckett in Confinement explores these recurring concepts of closed space to cast new light on the ethical and political dimensions of Beckett’s work. Covering the full range of Beckett’s writing career, including two plays he completed for prisoners, Catastrophe and the unpublished ‘Mongrel Mime’, the book shows how this engagement with the ethics of representing prisons and asylums stands at the heart of Beckett’s poetics. "James Little’s Beckett in Confinement offers a brilliant analysis of the politics behind Beckett’s production of closed space, both as a writer and as a director. It carefully examines the move from writing about closed space to creating an art of confinement. To argue that Beckett’s use of confined space is central to the political dynamics of his works, James Little also superbly employs genetic criticism to open up the confined space of the published text and bring highly relevant draft materials back into the critical conversation." Dirk Van Hulle, Professor of Bibliography and Modern Book History, University of Oxford, UK "The many characters Beckett invented share one characteristic: they are all imprisoned or trapped in some way, no matter where they are. Samuel Beckett in Confinement: The Politics of Closed Space draws on untapped riches from Beckett’s correspondence and the archives to reconsider the obsession with entrapment, coercion and detention central to Beckett’s varied oeuvre. In this exciting and illuminating analysis, James Little offers a fresh and original reading of the work’s ethical and political dimensions, and shows us why we need to stop thinking about confinement as a metaphysical metaphor." Emilie Morin, Professor of Modern Literature, University of York, UK "Little breaks new ground in this expansive investigation to explore how confinement is a central component of Beckett’s political aesthetics … The reader is guided by a crisp and easy style of writing as Little demonstrates a command of sources which are broad in scope, but negotiated to form a compelling and impactful study."
