Cy Twombly Museum of Fine Arts,Boston

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Luscious reproductions of more than 50 of Twombly's paintings, drawings and little-known sculptures, along with classical works of art, tell the story of an American abstractionist's poetical dialogue with antiquityCy Twombly's first visit to Italy as a young man ignited a lifelong passion for classical culture that is everywhere present in his art. Painted canvases, works on paper and small-scale sculptures reveal the historical soul of Twombly's abstract compositions. Taking on myths and heroes as personal guides, he created a psychologically complex dialogue with the visual and literary art of antiquity. This sumptuously illustrated publication reproduces a carefully chosen selection of the artist's paintings, drawings and sculptures alongside works of classical antiquity, including a number from his personal collection. Illuminating essays by leading scholars and writers, including Anne Carson, Jennifer R. Gross, Brooke Holmes and Mary Jacobus, explore the often enigmatic engagement of Twombly's art with the world of the past. Cy Twombly (1928-2011) was born in Lexington, Virginia, and lived and worked in New York in the early 1950s and at Black Mountain College in North Carolina. After traveling around North Africa, Spain and Italy, he settled in Rome, where he remained for the rest of his life.

Free Rein University of Nebraska Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Free Rein is a gathering of seminal essays by Andre Breton, the foremost figure among the French surrealists. Written between 1936 and 1952, they include addresses, manifestoes, prefaces, exhibition pamphlets, and theoretical, polemical, and lyrical essays. Together they display the full span of Breton's preoccupations, his abiding faith in the early principles of surrealism, and the changing orientations, in light of crucial events of those years, of the surrealist movement within which he remained the leading force. Having broken decisively with Marxism in the mid-1930s, Breton repeatedly addresses the horrors of the Stalinist regime (which denounced him during the Moscow trials of 1936). He argues for the autonomy of art and poetry and condemns the subservience to "revolutionary" aims exemplified by socialist realism. Other articles reflect on aesthetic issues, cinema, music, and education and provide detailed meditations on the literary, artistic, and philosophical topics for which he is best known. Free Rein will prove indispensable for students of Breton, surrealism, and modern French and European culture.Michel Parmentier is a professor of French at Bishop's University, Quebec. He is the author of Mise au point and Regards contemporains: Textes d'actualite quebecoise. He is coauthor with Jacqueline d'Amboise of Second Regards, Recits recents, and Nouvelles nouvelles: Fictions du Quebec contemporain. Jacqueline d'Amboise is an independent poet and translator. She is the author of Mother Myths, a book of poems.

For the past half century, Maurice Blanchot has been an extraordinarily influential figure on the French literary and cultural scene. He is arguably the key figure after Sartre in exploring the relation between literature and philosophy. This collection of 29 critical essays and reviews on art, politics, literature, and philosophy documents the wide range of Blanchot's interests, from the enigmatic paintings in the Lascaux caves to the atomic era. Essays are devoted to works of fiction (Louis-RenZ des For ts, Pierre Klossowski, Roger Laporte, Marguerite Duras), to autobiographies or testimonies (Michel Leiris, Robert Antelme, AndrZ Gorz, Franz Kafka), or to authors who are more than ever contemporary (Jean Paulhan, Albert Camus).

These Precious Days HarperCollins

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The beloved New York Times bestselling author reflects on home, family, friendships and writing in this deeply personal collection of essays. "The elegance of Patchett's prose is seductive and inviting: with Patchett as a guide, readers will really get to grips with the power of struggles, failures, and triumphs alike." -Publisher's Weekly"Any story that starts will also end." As a writer, Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life, however, often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth in these wise essays that afford a fresh and intimate look into her mind and heart. At the center of These Precious Days is the title essay, a surprising and moving meditation on an unexpected friendship that explores "what it means to be seen, to find someone with whom you can be your best and most complete self." When Patchett chose an early galley of actor and producer Tom Hanks' short story collection to read one night before bed, she had no idea that this single choice would be life changing. It would introduce her to a remarkable woman-Tom's brilliant assistant Sooki-with whom she would form a profound bond that held monumental consequences for them both. A literary alchemist, Patchett plumbs the depths of her experiences to create gold: engaging and moving pieces that are both self-portrait and landscape, each vibrant with emotion and rich in insight. Turning her writer's eye on her own experiences, she transforms the private into the universal, providing us all a way to look at our own worlds anew, and reminds how fleeting and enigmatic life can be. From the enchantments of Kate DiCamillo's children's books (author of The Beatryce Prophecy) to youthful memories of Paris; the cherished life gifts given by her three fathers to the unexpected influence of Charles Schultz's Snoopy; the expansive vision of Eudora Welty to the importance of knitting, Patchett connects life and art as she illuminates what matters most. Infused with the author's grace, wit, and warmth, the pieces in These Precious Days resonate deep in the soul, leaving an indelible mark-and demonstrate why Ann Patchett is one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

Friedrich Schiller Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this important study, Lesley Sharpe assesses Schiller's development as a dramatist, poet and thinker, and provides detailed discussions of all his major works, including his essays on aesthetics. His works are viewed against the social, political and literary background of the late eighteenth century. Spanning a period from the late 1770s to 1805 they explore the insistent themes of the age - the loss of tradition and authority, the individual's claim to self-expression and the search for stability. While the early works focus on the turbulent individual, Schiller later turns to the great public concerns of the French Revolutionary era - legitimacy and power, the exercise of freedom and the relationship between morality and politics. The aesthetic essays explore the vital role of art in integrating the aesthetic, moral and political realms.

Roman Dress and the Fabrics of Roman Culture University of Toronto Press

Historia

Roman Dress and the Fabrics of Roman Culture investigates the social symbolism and cultural poetics of dress in the ancient Roman world in the period from 200 BCE-400 CE. Editors Jonathan Edmondson and Alison Keith and the contributors to this volume explore the diffusion of Roman dress protocols at Rome and in the Roman imperial context by looking at Rome's North African provinces in particular, a focus that previous studies have overlooked or dealt with only in passing. Another unique aspect of this collection is that it goes beyond the male elite to address a wider spectrum of Roman society. Chapters deal with such topics as masculine attire, strategies for self-expression for Roman women within a dress code prescribed by a patriarchal culture, and the complex dynamics of dress in imperial Roman culture, both literary and artistic. This volume further investigates the literary, legal, and iconographic evidence to provide anthropologically-informed readings of Roman clothing. This collection of original essays employs a range of methodological approaches - historical, literary critical, philological, art historical, sociological and anthropological - to offer a thorough discussion of one of the most central issues in Roman culture.

Music and Infinity Studies in Polish Romanticism Wydawnictwo Naukowe UMK

Muzyka. Śpiew. TaniecHistoria PolskiWydawnictwa naukowe i popularno-naukowe

The rhythm of Romanticism in Poland is ominously tapped by history, politics, various defeats, and the sense of national captivity, but the descant to this main melodic line are rhythms and melodies of everyday life and extraordinary art. Contrary to many stereotypes and clichés referring to Polish Romanticism, national martyrology and historism are not the only matter of concern for Polish authors. Tradition, customs, everydayness, social relations, existence, and art are crucial literary themes. In addition, aesthetic experiences, the musical life, the search for sacrum in the individual dimension and outside the Catholic Church are typical of Romanticism in Poland, which brings this movement closer to the European culture of that period. All essays collected in this book are dedicated to these issues from the border of art, aesthetics, and specific mysticism.Literatura polska w okresie romantyzmu rozwijała się w specyficznych warunkach historycznych i szczególnych okolicznościach kulturowych. Determinował ją aspekt polityczny. Polska nie miała wówczas swojej państwowości. Byt niepodległy jeszcze do początku XVIII wieku potężnego państwa legł u progu romantyzmu, pod koniec tegoż stulecia, w gruzach. Rosja, Prusy i Austria zajęły terytorium Polski, traktując zabrane ziemie jak podległe sobie kolonie. Rozmaite są tego przyczyny.Nie znaczy to jednak, że romantyzm polski był głuchy na nowoczesne tendencje estetyczne i nowoczesną filozofię europejską. To wątki także żywe i obecne w polskiej literaturze tego okresu, choć często zapomniane, a w refleksji badawczej nierzadko spychane na plan dalszy lub po prostu pomijane. Ta skromna książka ma przypomnieć o tym czytelnikowi anglojęzycznemu. Muzyka i nieskończoność to dwa wielkie tematy romantycznej literatury europejskiej i dwa małe tematy literatury polskiej w tym okresie.Rytm romantyzmu w Polsce wystukują złowieszczo i pospołu historia, polityka, rozmaite klęski, syberyjskie zsyłki, poczucie niewoli narodowej, ale kontrapunktem dla tej głównej linii melodycznej są rytmy i melodie zwykłego życia i niezwykłej sztuki. Nie tylko martyrologia narodowa i historyzm - wbrew stereotypom i utartym schematom myślenia o polskim romantyzmie - stanowią przedmiot zainteresowania polskich twórców. Trzeba mówić o tym głośno choćby na przekór ponownie rodzącym się upiorom nacjonalizmu. Obyczajowość, codzienność, stosunki społeczne, egzystencja, sztuka, podobnie jak w prozie Balzaca, są ważnymi tematami literackimi. Również zgłębianie estetycznych doznań, życie muzyczne, poszukiwanie sacrum w wymiarze indywidualnym poza instytucją Kościoła, charakteryzują polski romantyzm, w czym zbliża się on niejednokrotnie do kultury europejskiej tego okresu.

Desire in Language Columbia University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Desire in Language traces the path of an investigation, extending over a period of ten years, into the semiotics of literature and the arts. But the essays of Julia Kristeva in this volume, though they often deal with literature and art, do not amount to either "literary criticism" or "art criticism." Their concern, writes Kristeva, "remains intratheoretical: they are based on art and literature in order to subvert the very theoretical, philosophical, or semiological apparatus." Probing beyond the discoveries of Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Roman Jakobson and others, Julia Kristeva proposes and tests theories centered on the nature and development of the novel, and on what she has defined as a signifying practice in poetic language and pictural works. Desire in Language fully shows what Roman Jakobson has called Kristeva's "genuine gift of questioning generally adopted 'axioms,' and her contrary gift of releasing various 'damned questions' from their traditional question marks."
