Lot's Wife and the Venus of Milo: Conflicting Attitudes to

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thomson, Boris / Thomson, R. D. B., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Professor Thompson's subject is the uneasy position of art within Marxist ideology: what part can the arts of the past play in the new society? On the one hand there was the sense of a continuing cultural tradition, more or less independent of ideological change symbolized in the image of the Venus of Milo, and on the other, the iconoclastic demands for a complete break with the past in all its forms made by revolutionary artists, who found in the myth of Lot's wife a symbol of the attractions of the past. Originally published in , the book discusses the problems and paradoxes involved ong>fromong> a general theoretical point of ong>viewong> and in the work of individual artists. Professor Thompson suggests that the power inherent in art to resist social and ideological changes undermines all rationalistic theories of art, those of the Marxists and those fashionable in the West.

Property Companies and the Construction Industry in Britain

Property Companies and the Construction Industry in Britain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smyth, Hedley / Robson, Brian / Ley, David, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book was the first detailed and systematic account of the property and construction sectors of the British economy. Developing out of a materialist theoretical perspective, Dr Smyth provides an alternative explanation of the different characteristics of the two sectors and rejects traditional notions of the 'backwardness' of the construction sector. The specific historical experience of the Second World War and the rebuilding it necessitated, provides the basis of this analysis and it is argued that the particular divergencies of the construction sector stem ong>fromong> periods of wider economic crisis. Similar periods of crisis have shaped the property sector which, dependent upon the complex relationship between ground rent, the value of the building and building rent, cannot be understood in terms of 'urban rent'. Property companies and the construction industry in Britain challenges both established and radical thinking and its historical account of the development, management and production of the built environment in the years since addresses some of the central concerns of human geography today.

The Dance of the Intellect: Studies in Poetry of the Pound

The Dance of the Intellect: Studies in Poetry of the Pound

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perloff, Marjorie / Gelpi, Albert / Posnock, Ross, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Ezra Pound termed a new strain in Post-Modernist poetry 'Logopoeia - the dance of the intellect among words', and in this collection of essays, Marjorie Perloff examines this new strain in poetics. These essays focus on the poetry of Swinburne, Yeats, Stevens, Joyce, Williams, Cage, and Pound, among others. Through her analyses, the author traces a new direction in Post-Modernist poetry to Pound, whose legacy is present throughout this volume, even in essays not specifically devoted to him. Professor Perloff finds that the Symbolist elements that Yeats rejected - fragments, purely metrical or visual impressions, and theoretical concepts - became increasingly important to later poets. She also argues that the Romantic and Modernist cult of the personality has given way to a denial of the authoritative ego. These developments, combined with other cultural influences which Perloff identifies, such as the art of the Italian Futurists, lead to a new strain in poetry.
