Three essays that address the respective authors' involvement in black activist movements, engagement with black history, & analysis of the connection between liberation & nationalism are presented. In one essay, William W. Sales, Jr. discusses his self-identification as an "activist intellectual" & details his participation in black mobilizations. Emphasis is placed upon various experiences during Sales's postsecondary educational training that influenced his worldview, his attempts to incorporate black history into university curricula, & the factors that shaped his political perspective. In addition, multiple strategies for reconnecting the current African American community with black history are offered. In the second essay, Lynette Jackson utilizes a combined black feminist & Africanist historical perspective to investigate the relationship between nationalism & liberation in both American & Zimbabwean history. The necessity of creating a black critical history that deconstructs existing national narratives, excavates sites of resistance within history, & constructs narratives that prioritize racial inclusion is stressed. In the final essay, Robin D. G. Kelley contemplates the contemporary importance of black history for the African American community. A review of relevant literature indicated that some contemporary scholarship has misconstrued black history; overlooked the relationship between race, class, & gender; & failed to identify the proper subjects of such research. Two principal topics for future black history research are suggested; in addition, a strategy for incorporating black history into the public discourse is proposed. J. W. Parker

"This textbook provides an introduction to cultural policy in the US, enabling both students and practitioners to understand how government impacts the arts and culture. Starting with an historical overview of why and how the US developed a national cultural policy, the book goes on to trace the contemporary system of national, state, and local arts and cultural agencies through which that policy is put into practice. Readers are provided both in-depth frameworks for conceptualizing how government regulation and provision shape the arts and culture and carefully illustrated examples of cultural policy in action. Covering critical issues in US cultural policy such as the Culture Wars, culture-led development and gentrification, and field-wide data and research capacities, the book builds a bridge between theory, practice, and politics in the arts and culture. This new edition includes enhanced visualizations and policy maps, expanded policy labs, and a new section on cultural policy during COVID-19. The result is a text that is essential reading for students and reflective practitioners of arts and cultural management and administration"--

Discussions on writing in the context of art practice are often framed and explored as matters of boundaries. While the territorial claims of one discipline over another may be important issues—not least for artists contextualising their work in relation to literature—this approach can prove blind to certain 'events of the boundary' by which diverse practitioners lose their identity in collective work. This paper proposes that shared politics are emerging across disciplines of art and literature. The contemporary phenomenon of artists who take up writing practices cannot be understood sufficiently as a new or renewed form of art practice. Instead, it must be thought a kind of resistance, one that is immanent to art practice but that does not progress the concerns of the discipline in any of the ways expected. Artists' writing practice need not be thought as the capturing of territory nor as art by other means; it can be understood as a way of working with unexpected partners to chart an extra-disciplinary realm, discovering both new potentials in the present and future practices.

Os coletivos de artistas surgem na arte contemporânea brasileira na década de 1990, e assim passam a realizar suas intervenções artísticas, ou performances, no espaço público e também em espaços expositivos fechados, dentro dos chamados "cubos brancos". Percebendo que a relação entre os coletivos de artistas e a poética performática se tornou solidificada ao longo da institucionalização destes grupos , foi possível, estudando suas ações, desenvolver questões que mostram como esta relação permeia aspectos e questões sobre arte , corpo e política. Palavras chave: Coletivos de artistas. Performance. Corpo. InstituiçãoIn collective performance: some relationships between art, politics and bodyAbstractThe collective of artists emerge in brazilian contemporary art in the 1990s, and thus begin to carry out their artistic interventions and performances in public space and also in closed exhibition spaces named also as "white cubes". Realizing that the relationship between collective of artists and the performative poetics became solidified along the institutionalization of these groups, it was possible by studying their actions, develop questions that show how this relationship permeates aspects and issues about art, body and politics.Key words: Collective of artists. performance. body. instituton

This paper explores possibilities associated with contemporary explanations of nature through a consideration of the nature-based art of Damien Hirst. I argue that this art poses fresh and challenging questions with the potential to destabilize dominant explanations of nature. His art affords nature the transformative qualities that rupture both its unproblematical differentiation from society and the belief that nature can be represented as an objectified truth through art. We can best explore these ideas in relation to Hirst's art by 'using' an interpretative strategy akin to Baudrillard's 'mysterious rules of indifference' - the exploration of art's capacity to activate and trigger metaphors, motifs and plays on meaning that form the ebb and flow of the cultural sign system, where attention is paid to the relational order between the components of meaning, rather than the material composition of specific objects. I argue that we should reconceptualize nature in terms of its alterity and undecidability, cultivating explanations based on indifference so that we do not succumb to the seduction of locating the meaning of nature.

The study focuses on the themes of classical mythology in the Czech visual art with an emphasis on the period between the two World Wars. The depiction of classical myth in the work of modern Czech artists became not only a means of expressing their attitudes towards the tradition and the past, but was also a reflection of the current period's events as well as the tool of perception of themselves in a modern society. Some Czech works of art inspired by classical mythology are very interesting examples dealing with conventional topics, but rendered with modern art forms. Moreover, they are very surprising in their contexts and meanings. The study deals with selected works of art on the theme of classical mythology, whose origin was influenced by the contemporary political environment. These works of art mirror the turbulent atmosphere of the first half of the 20th century, and show the myth in the original Czech (or more precisely Czechoslovak) context. Emil Filla, Alois Wachsman and Vladimír Sychra, prominent representatives of the Czech mythological painting, and other artists and their work are presented here.

Art of the Scholar-Poets: Traditional Chinese Painting and Calligraphy April 01 to May 09, 1998 Marsh Art Gallery, University of Richmond Museums Introduction Chinese culture developed one of the world's most enduring artistic traditions, literati painting, based upon a unique idea about the purposes of art. The art of the scholar-poets is centered in calligraphy and poetry, which the literati learned at an early age as part of their basic education. Painting was done with the same tools as poetry and calligraphy - brush, ink, and paper - and it was an easy step to express poetic sensibilities in visual as well as verbal form. Most literati, either government bureaucrats or teachers, were not dependent upon their art for their living which allowed them a freedom to express themselves in the arts without worries about commercial success. The exhibition explores the Chinese literati tradition of expressing perceptions of nature and personal feelings through calligraphy, painting, and poetry from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries in the formats of hanging scrolls, fans, handscrolls, and albums, The works are arranged in the favored themes of the literati: bamboo, landscapes, figure, and calligraphy. Organized by the Marsh Art Gallery, the exhibition was curated by Stephen Addiss, Tucker-Boatwright Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Art History, University of Richmond. The exhibition brochure essay, panels, and labels were developed by Dr. Addiss' students as part of an art history course on Chinese painting and calligraphy. The students were: Scott Allen, Sean Drummond, Ann Griffin, Mark Karau, Blythe King, Sarah Mendelson, John Nixon, Liz Rhymers, and Beth Rose. For help with translations, we would like to thank Jonathan Chaves (Wen Cheng-ming and Ch'eng Hsieh), Julia Curtis (brushpot), and Stephen Little (Hsiao Yung-ts'ung). Our thanks also go to the lenders to the exhibition. The exhibition is made possible with the generous support of the Rouse-Bottom Foundation and the University of Richmond Cultural Affairs Committee.

Heinz Kurz is a major contemporary figure in the study of the history of economic thought and this new collection brings together recent work on growth theory, integrating the study of the history of economic analysis with contemporary economic theorizing. Kurz draws on the work of Schumpeter and Smith to articulate the relationships between innovation, knowledge and growth. Essays included range in subject, from considering Schumpeter's work in Graz and the problem of innovation and profits from a Schumpeterian point of view to the concepts of knowledge and economic growth and the state of th

UID/HIS/04666/2013 ; From Theoretical ideas and methodological paths developed by Edward W. Said in Culture and Imperialism (1993, this essay recovers the theme of the poor and the rich in El Quijote (1615).

Klappentext: Inwieweit waren die Juden in die deutsche Gesellschaft des Kaiserreichs und der frühen Weimarer Republik integriert? Gibt es eine Kontinuitätslinie von der deutsch-jüdischen Geschichte vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zum nationalsozialistischen Antisemitismus? Till van Rahden geht diesen Fragen am Beispiel der Beziehungen zwischen Juden und der übrigen Bevölkerung in Breslau nach. In der Sozialstruktur von Juden, Protestanten und Katholiken, im Vereinswesen, in den Heiratskreisen, im Schulwesen und in der städtischen Politik zeigt sich, dass seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts das Ausmaß der jüdischen Integration in Breslau ständig zugenommen hatte und die Beziehungen zwischen Juden und anderen Breslauern bis zum Ende des Kaiserreichs auch meistens frei von Antisemitismus blieben.Die Studie geht aber über die Frage nach den Kontinuitätslinien hinaus. Die Geschichte der Breslauer Juden und Christen wird als eine gemeinsame Geschichte von ethnischer und religiöser Vielfalt und Differenz geschrieben. Für diese Arbeit erhielt Till van Rahden 1999 den 'Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History' des Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library, London.

"This book provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the future of US warfare, including its military practices and the domestic and global challenges it faces. The need to undertake a comprehensive analysis about the future of warfare for the US is more pressing today than ever before. New technologies and adversaries, both old and new, have the potential to revolutionize how wars are fought and it is imperative that policy makers, military planners, and scholars engage with the latest analyses regarding these new threats and weapon systems. The primary aim of this book is to provide a clear and comprehensive depiction of the types of conflict that the United States is likely to become involved with in the future, as well as the methods of warfare that it may employ within these struggles. While a number of scholarly books have previously considered some of the potential features of US warfare in the future, many of these writings are either outdated, or have limited their focus to just one or two of the main types of warfare that may occur and omitted consideration of the others. This book intends to remedy this deficiency in the literature. The volume consists of thematic chapters which address the key issues relevant to the future of US warfare, including cyber warfare, asymmetric conflicts, drone warfare, and nuclear strategy. Through the provision of a series of analyses by leading international academics, the volume provides an important interdisciplinary examination of the different areas of warfare that the United States is expected to use or encounter in the future. This book will be of great interest to students of US Foreign Policy, Military Studies, Strategic Studies and IR in general."--Provided by publisher
