ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mainardi, Patricia, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The End of the Salon examines the cultural forces that contributed to the demise of the most important exhibition centre for art in Europe and America in the late nineteenth century. Tracing the history of the salon from the French Revolution, when it was taken away from the Academy and opened to all artists, to the s, Patricia Mainardi shows that its contradictory purposes, as didactic exhibition venue and art market-place resulted in its collapse. She also situates the salon within the shifting currents of art movements, from modern to traditional, and the evolving politics of the Third Republic, when France definitively chose a republican over a monarchic form of government. A rich overview of the spectrum of art production at the end of the nineteenth century, government attitudes toward the arts in the early Third Republic, and the institution of exhibitions as they were redefined by free-market economics in the nineteenth century, are also provided.

Portugal

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Demeude, Hugues, PUBLISHER: Taschen, It was from Portugal that Europe once set sail to conquer the unknown. In the 15th century, the land of seafarers vanquished a large part of the world and became the most powerful empire of its day -- a period of greatness which was not to last long. Today, Portugal is a small state on the edge of Europe, a country undergoing a period of change which in many areas seems untouched by the modern age. With each step you take you are confronted with remnants of Portugal's grand history -- provided you venture further than from the hotel to the beach and back. Many tourists still go to the Algarye to enjoy its eternal spring and nothing else, its sandy beaches, cliffs, bays and perfectly blue sea. They fail to discover the other side to Portugal, its people, villages, castles and monasteries, the urban centres of Lisbon, Oporto, Coimbra and Evora. This book is devoted not just to the better-known destinations but also to Portugal's diverse stretches of scenery: the rolling hills of the Alentejo province, basking in the heat of summer with its numerous medieval towns, Costa Dourada, the wildest section of coast in Southern Europe with secluded coves and cliffs which often rise hundreds of feet up out of the water, the mountain world of Serra da Estrela with deep ravines and a multitude of glacial lakes and the romantic, fertile valleys of the Mino in the far northwest of the country.

Redefining Southern Culture: Mind and Identity in the Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cobb, James C., PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, From the creation of the first "New South" in the wake of Appomattox to the current struggles over the Confederate flag, Redefining Southern Culture surveys the remarkable story of southern identity and its persistence in the face of sweeping changes in the South's economy, society; and political structure. Rejecting the conventional continuity-versus-change framework, James C. Cobb instead illustrates how the evolution of southern culture synthesized these two forces in recent years. Throughout this lively and engaging volume, Cobb examines southern identity in its constantly changing forms, from history and literature to blues and country music to popular and consumer cultures. Cobb also presents the first detailed account of the efforts of African Americans in the South to reclaim their identity as southerners and to construct their own symbolic and substantive representations of what that identity means. The essays in Redefining Southern Culture reflect James C. Cobb's career-long interest in exploring southern cultural identity and the interaction of this identity with the economic, social, and political forces that have transformed the region. Written in a refreshingly straightforward and engaging style, this book promises thoughtful reading for anyone interested in the modern South and will be a valuable resource for courses in southern history and culture.

The Death of Comedy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Segal, Erich, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In a grand tour of comic theater over the centuries, Erich Segal traces the evolution of the classical form from its early origins in a misogynistic quip by the sixth-century B.C. Susarion, through countless weddings and happy endings, to the exasperated monosyllables of Samuel Beckett. With fitting wit, profound erudition lightly worn, and instructive examples from the mildly amusing to the uproarious, his book fully illustrates comedy's glorious life cycle from its first breath to its death in the Theater of the Absurd. An exploration of various landmarks in the history of a genre that flourished almost unchanged for two millennia, "The Death of Comedy" revisits the obscenities and raucous twists of Aristophanes, the neighborly pleasantries of Menander, the tomfoolery and farce of Plautus. Segal shows how the ribaldry of foiled adultery, a staple of Roman comedy, reappears in force on the stages of Restoration England. And he gives us a closer look at the "schadenfreude"--delight in someone else's misfortune--that marks Machiavelli's and Marlowe's works. At every turn in Segal's analysis--from Shakespeare to Moliere to Shaw--another facet of the comic art emerges, until finally, he argues, "the head conquers and the heart dies": Letting the intellect take the lead, Cocteau, Ionesco, and Beckett smother comedy as we know it. The book is a "tour de force," a sweeping panorama of the art and history of comedy, as insightful as it is delightful to read.
