Abstract

Comment la publicité, activité encore balbutiante vers 1900, devient-elle en quelques décennies une profession disposant de son propre pavillon à l'Exposition internationale des arts et des techniques dans la vie moderne de Paris en 1937 ? Comment s'organisent les publicitaires, sur quelles autres professions prennent-ils modèle ? Quelle est la nature de leurs relations avec les milieux d'affaires, les « rationalisateurs » ou les affichistes ? Comment répondent-ils aux critiques de la publicité murale qui envahit les murs ? Analysant les pratiques collectives des publicitaires et l'apparition de nouvelles techniques commerciales dans la première moitié du xxe siècle, Marie-Emmanuelle Chessel montre comment publicitaires, industriels, commerçants, affichistes, voire détracteurs, participent, parfois de manière conflictuelle, à l'invention de la publicité moderne. Cet ouvrage nous fait voyager dans une France en mutation, confrontée aux valeurs naissantes liées à l'arrivée de la société de consommation.

Abstract

"Attracting over fifteen million visitors, the 1925 Paris Expo had an ambitious goal to create a new modernist style which would reflect the great scientific, industrial, and technological advances that produced a new spirit known as "modern." In April in Paris, author Irena R. Makaryk explores the theatre arts' vital cultural and political impact at this celebrated international exhibition. Drawing extensively from unexplored archival documents from France, Austria, and North America, April in Paris is the first major study to focus on theatre arts at the 1925 Paris Expo and the audacious Soviet contributions to this fair. Turning a spotlight on the uses and representations of theatricalized spaces, Makaryk analyses their political challenge at a time when relations between the West and the USSR were rife with tension. Copiously illustrated with beautiful colour and black and white illustrations, this book elucidates the complex role of the international fair as a catalyst for spirited cultural debate and for aesthetic change."--

Abstract

In 1893, the year that marked the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Columbus in the New World, Chicago was host to an exposition to mark the occasion. Although the World's Columbian Exposition was the fifteenth world's fair, it was of vastly greater scope than any of its predecessors. Chicago created a veritable new city. It was not only larger than any previous exposition but also more elaborately designed, more precisely laid out, more fully realized, and more prophetic. It was the first exposition truly to solicit the participation of the entire world.In this study of the White C

Abstract

"The 1931 International Colonial Exposition in Paris was a demonstration of French colonial policy, colonial architecture and urban planning, and the scientific and philosophical theories that justified colonialism. The Exposition displayed the people, material culture, raw materials, manufactured goods, and arts of the global colonial empires. Yet the event gave a contradictory message of the colonies as the "Orient"--The site of rampant sensuality, decadence, and irrationality - and as the laboratory of Western rationality. In Hybrid Modernities, Patricia Morton shows how the Exposition failed to keep colonialism's two spheres separate, instead creating hybrids of French and native culture." "Anticolonial resistance erupted around the Exposition in the form of protests, anticolonial tracts, and a countercolonial exposition produced by the Surrealists. Thus the Exposition occupied a "middle region" of experience where the norms, rules, and systems of French colonialism both emerged and broke down, unsustainable because of their internal contradictions. As Morton shows, the effort to segregate France and her colonies failed, both at the Colonial Exposition and in greater France, because it was constantly undermined by the hybrids that modern colonialism itself produced."--Jacket.
