Abstract

Die in vielen Museen der DDR präsentierte „Geschichte der Urgesellschaft" war ein fester Bestandteil des nationalen Geschichtsbilds des „Arbeiter- und Bauernstaats" und unterstützte die historische Legitimierung der SED-Diktatur. Allerdings besaß die sozialistische Urgeschichtserzählung mit dem in der NS-Zeit propagierten Bild der „Germanischen Vorzeit" ein ideologisch hoch belastetes Erbe. Die Museen standen angesichts des politisch verordneten Antifaschismus vor der Aufgabe, in ihren Ausstellungen den narrativen Turn vom „germanischen" zum marxistischen Urgeschichtsbild zu meistern. Entlang eines umfangreichen Korpus an Ausstellungsfotos analysiert die Studie die museale Darstellung der Urgeschichte in der SBZ und DDR sowie die Diskurse, die zum Wandel oder zur Beständigkeit von Geschichtsbildern führten. In the German Democratic Republic (GDR), prehistory was part of the national narrative that served to legitimize the dictatorial regime of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). However, the socialist conception of prehistory came up against a heavily loaded ideological legacy in the wake of the notions of ‘German prehistory’ that had been espoused during the National Socialist period. Museums were tasked with mastering the politically prescribed narrative shift from an ethnic-nationalist conception of prehistory to a Marxist one. Using an extensive body of exhibition photos, this doctoral project analyses the depiction of prehistory in museums of the Soviet Occupation Zone and the GDR as well as discourses that led to the alteration or persistence of related concepts.

Abstract

Gegenwärtig brechen in verschiedenen Gesellschaften Ikonoklasmen mit neuer Gewalt auf. Angriffe gegen Objekte visueller materieller Kultur und Geschichtszeugnisse bieten Zündstoff für gesellschaftliche Auseinandersetzungen. Sie sind Ausdruck politischer, religiöser, nationaler und identitätsbedingter Konflikte. Selbst die Freiheit der Kunst ist durch Zensur und Cancel Culture bedroht. In Fallstudien aus verschiedenen Regionen der Welt werden zeitgenössische Ikonoklasmen in Kunst, Medien und im Umgang mit dem Kulturerbe in globaler und interdisziplinärer Perspektive einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Die Publikation befasst sich mit Angriffen auf Denk- und Mahnmäler, Auseinandersetzungen in der Kunstproduktion und im Museumsbetrieb sowie mit Formen eines medialisierten Ikonoklasmus in der zeitgenössischen Kunst. In many contemporary societies we encounter iconoclasm breaking out with renewed violence. Iconoclastic actions against objects of visual material culture and testimonials of history act as dynamite in the public sphere. They are expressions of political, religious, national, and identity conflicts. Even the freedom of art is threatened by censorship and cancel culture. Based on case studies from different world regions, contemporary iconoclasms in art, media, and cultural heritage are critically analyzed from both a global and an interdisciplinary perspective. Divided into three sections, the book discusses attacks on monuments and memorials, idol disputes in museums and the visual arts, and forms of mediated iconoclasm in contemporary art.

Abstract

Welche Strategien und Mechanismen trugen dazu bei, die öffentliche Persona des dänischen Bildhauers Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) zu erschaffen? Die Autorin betrachtet die Verbreitung seines Ruhms und des beispiellosen Künstlerkults um Thorvaldsen als Teil einer celebrity-Kultur, die in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Europa entstanden ist und die auf medialer Vermittlung basiert. Der Fokus richtet sich auf Visualisierungen des Künstlerkults, angefangen bei Thorvaldsens eigenen Werken und zeitgenössischen Porträts über seine Ateliers in Italien und Dänemark bis hin zu seinem,von ihm selbst initiierten Museum in Kopenhagen, das zugleich sein Mausoleum werden sollte.

Abstract

Gestalterinnen hatten einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Entwicklung der Moderne im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit. Die Publikation präsentiert neue Forschungen zu Designerinnen, Keramikerinnen, Modeschöpferinnen, Grafikerinnen, Gartenarchitektinnen, Fotografinnen, Kunsthistorikerinnen und Mäzeninnen. An ihrem Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie angestammte Rollenbilder in der Zwischenkriegszeit aufgebrochen wurden und welch eminente Bedeutung diese Frauen für die Wiener Moderne hatten. Sie setzten sich mit bestehenden Vorurteilen auseinander und schufen neue visuelle Sprachen, um erfolgreich Karriere zu machen. Gleichzeitig trugen sie zu einem kritischen Diskurs über die Emanzipation der Frau bei. Zu den Gestalterinnen der Wiener Moderne gehörten u.a. Emilie Flöge, Mathilde Flögl, Jacqueline Groag, Fanny Harlfinger-Zakucka, Yella Hertzka, Else Hofmann, Hilda Jesser, Maria Likarz, Madame d'Ora, Pauline Metternich-Sándor, Bertha Pappenheim, Marie Reidemeister-Neurath, Lisl Weil, Vally Wieselthier, Helene Wolf und Berta Zuckerkandl Gestalterinnen played a decisive role in the development of modernism in Vienna. This publication presents new research on women designers, ceramicists, fashion designers, graphic artists, garden architects, photographers, art historians and patrons. The contributions illuminate the eminent importance of these women for Viennese modernism and show how traditional role models were challenged during the interwar period. The Gestalterinnen confronted existing prejudices and created new visual languages in order to forge successful careers. At the same time, they contributed to critical discourse on the emancipation of women. The Gestalterinnen of Viennese modernism included among others: Emilie Flöge, Mathilde Flögl, Jacqueline Groag, Fanny HarlfingerZakucka, Yella Hertzka, Else Hofmann, Hilda Jesser, Maria Likarz, Madame d’Ora, Pauline Metternich-Sándor, Bertha Pappenheim, Marie ReidemeisterNeurath, Lisl Weil, Vally Wieselthier and Helene Wolf Introduction and two chapters in English

Abstract

In Devastation and Laughter, Annie Gerin explores the use of satire in the visual arts, the circus, theatre, and cinema under Lenin and Stalin. Gerin traces the rise and decline of the genre and argues that the use of satire in official Soviet art and propaganda was neither marginal nor un-theorized. The author sheds light on the theoretical texts written in the 1920s and 1930s by Anatoly Lunacharsky, the Soviet Commissar of Enlightenment, and the impact his writings had on satirists. While the Avant-Garde and Socialist Realism were necessarily forward-looking and utopian, satire afforded artists the means to examine critically past and present subjects, themes, and practice. Devastation and Laughter is the first work to bring Soviet theoretical writings on the use of satire to the attention of scholars outside of Russia. By introducing important bodies of work that have largely been overlooked in the fields of art history, film and theatre history, Annie Gerin provides a nuanced and alternative reading of early Soviet art.

Abstract

What is the gender of political power? Since the beginning of political thought, rule has been a male prerogative in European imagination. This is of course not to say that there never were women sovereigns. In-depth studies of women sovereigns have grown considerably in number in the past three decades and have added substantially to our understanding of the complexities of their rule of power.0Yet what is often obscured by such in-depth analyses is the fact that all women rulers throughout the entirety of European cultural history have had to operate in a context that could not think of power as female - except in grotesque terms. This continuity, as this book demonstrates, can only be brought out by studying women?s political rule comparatively and in the longue duree.0This collection of essays brings together studies of female sovereignty from the Polish-Lithuanian to the British Commonwealth, and from the Middle Ages to the dawn of modern democracy. It demonstrates how the strategies and imagination women rulers adopted against the backdrop of an all-pervasive scepticism toward female rule are comparable across regions and periods. To illustrate its point, this book not only addresses historical figures and queens, but also takes stock of the rich yet unsettling imagination of female rule in philosophy, literature and art history.

Abstract

"Proceeding chronologically, from the beginning of Varda's career in the 1950s to the present, this book focuses on moments where Varda's invocation of different artistic traditions within film opens onto complex commentary on broader aesthetic, theoretical, feminist, and political discussions. I reinterpret some of her best known films, but also focus attention on other less familiar works that merit further consideration. I reassess individual works with the goal of interrogating Varda's visual dialogues to reconstruct the cultural politics of the periods in which they were made. This process of reading new strands of meaning across Varda's oeuvre relies on a richly interdisciplinary approach. The result is a new cultural history of Varda and her work that makes clear how she actively engaged and subtly broadened some of the most advanced aesthetic and political discourse of her day. Many of Varda's sophisticated commentaries on controversial issues of her time have receded from view in the biographical frameworks in which her work often has been considered. The range of her engagement in her work with cinema, art history, photography, and visual culture has not been fully recognized. This decontextualization of Varda's work has been compounded by the frequent emphasis on her exceptionality within her fields of practice. In contrast, I view Varda's work as a projection of cultural history that illuminates multiple disciplines, including art history, cinema studies, visual culture, and modern French history."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

"In this highly original book. Hungarian art historian Eva Forgacs examines the development of the Bauhaus school of architecture and applied design by focusing on the idea of the Bauhaus, rather than on its artefacts. What gave this idea its extraordinary powers of survival?" "Founded in 1919, with the architect Walter Gropius as its first director, the Bauhaus carried within it the seeds of conflict from the start. The duration of the Bauhaus coincides very nearly with that of the Weimar Republic; the Bauhaus idea - the notion that the artist should be involved in the technological innovations of mechanization and mass production - is a concept that was bound to arouse the most passionate feelings. It is these two strands - personal and political - that Forgacs so cleverly interweaves." "The text has been extensively revised since its original publication in Hungarian, and an entirely new chapter has been added on the Bauhaus's Russian analogue, VkhUTEMAS, the Moscow academy of industrial art."--Jacket.
