Abstract

"In nineteenth-century North America, the literature of Indian nations extended a long tradition of diplomacy between indigenous people and settler states. While the crisis of removal profoundly reshaped Indian country between 1820 and 1860, indigenous intellectuals and tribal leaders often worked with various collaborators--translators, editors, and amanuenses--to address the tensions between American empire and Indian nations. Drawing on established conventions of Indian diplomacy, these collaborative writings were bound up with the life of colonial institutions but they intervened in them as well. Using multimedia forms of publication, Native authors contested colonial ideas about empire, the frontier, and nationalism, all the while insisting on an indigenous futures in regions where settler expansion caused profound historical change. Authorized Agents examines the writings and speeches of authors such as Black Hawk, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, and George Copway, as well as more overlooked writers and orators including Sharitarish, Ongpatonga, Keokuk, Hardfish, and Peter Pitchlynn. The fact that their writings were often edited or published by colonial institutions has often left many Native writers to be misread, discredited, or simply ignored. How can we begin to understand these texts as the work of indigenous authors who generated critiques of colonial ideas and policies? Through analysis of a range of texts--from oratory, newspapers, and autobiographies to petitions, council meetings, and manuscript poems--Authorized Agents offers an interdisciplinary method for understanding how Native authors claimed a place in public discourse, and how the cross-cultural conventions of Indian diplomacy shaped their texts"--

Abstract

Le deuxième livre de Jean Tardieu contient le premier, le sixième reprend des poèmes du troisième, le septième inclut le sixième, des textes du quatrième se retrouvent dans le onzième. Il convient de se méfier des sous-titres : « proses » apposé à La part de l'ombre annonce bien ce qu'il contient, mais les « poèmes » de L'accent grave et l'accent aigu peuvent être d'assez longs textes en prose ; à distinguer des « poèmes traduits des arts », textes sur la peinture, eux-mêmes différents des « poèmes à voir », sorte de calligrammes, et des « poèmes à jouer » qui sont des pièces de théâtre. Au reste, les frontières génériques sont perméables. Dans la fabrication de ses livres, Jean Tardieu est inlassablement inventeur de formes nouvelles et mystificateur. Inadvertance ? Malice ? Volonté surtout de ne pas emprisonner dans un provisoire parti pris éditorial la polyphonie d'« une voix sans personne ». Écrites par de nombreux spécialistes de l'œuvre, mais aussi par des hommes et femmes de théâtre, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage se proposent d'interroger cette diversité des voix dans les livres de Jean Tardieu. On y trouve des informations, des témoignages, des réflexions, des essais. Il est ainsi, à l'image de l'auteur dont il traite, à plusieurs voix, et offre de multiples chemins dans cet univers foisonnant.

Abstract

Long description: Nicht viele Philosophen haben eine solch große Resonanz in der Öffentlichkeit erfahren wie Hans Jonas. Das lag nicht ausschließlich an seinem Bestseller Das Prinzip Verantwortung, der 1979/80 zu einem Medien -ereignis wurde. Jonas' Verdienst war es, eine ethische Debatte über die Zukunft des Menschen befeuert zu haben, die den Zeitgeist traf. Doch sind die Ideen von Hans Jonas heute noch zeitgemäß? Wie haben sich einzelne Themen weiterentwickelt? Der vorliegende Band diskutiert die Denkwege von Hans Jonas und versammelt einige Antworten von ausgewiesenen Jonas-Experten.

Abstract

Theodor W. Adorno's aesthetics has dominated discussions about art and aesthetic modernism since World War II, and continues to inform contemporary theorizing. Situating Adorno's aesthetic theory in the context of post-Kantian European philosophy, Espen Hammer explores Adorno's critical view of art as engaged in reconsidering fundamental features of our relation to nature and reality. His book is structured around what Adorno regarded as the contemporary aesthetician's overarching task: to achieve a vision of the fate of art in the modern world, while demonstrating its unique cognitive potential. Hammer offers a lively examination of Adorno's work through the central problem of what full human self-actualization would require, and also discusses the wider philosophical significance of aesthetic modernism. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of social philosophy, art, and aesthetics.

Abstract

This powerful collection of documents illumines the experiences of the original people of the United States during American Indian removal, offering readers a unique standpoint from which to understand American identity and the historical processes that have shaped it. The Indian Removal Act transformed the Native North American continent and precipitated the development of a national identity based on a narrative of vanishing American Indians. This volume is a probing look into a chapter in American history that, while difficult, cannot be ignored. Sweeping in its coverage of history, it includes deeply personal accounts of American Indian removal from which readers may discern the degree to which the new national identity of the United States was influenced by bigotry and dependence on the corporate economy. The book is organized into six sections that collectively provide the full scope of American Indian removal policies that began with the founding of the United States. The sections trace the evolution of federal government policies; the rhetoric of Indian removal in public debates; removal experiences; ethnic cleansing through overtly racist laws; responses to removals; and the question that reigned in the aftermath: Who owned the land? The chronological organization allows readers both to approach Indian removal through the framework of ongoing injustice in the colonial system that existed for the first 150 years of the United States, from the 1770s through the 1920s, and to draw connections from this legacy to the seizures of Indian lands and resources that continue today.

Abstract

Composer and cultural official Nicolas Nabokov (1903-78) led an unusual life even for a composer who was also a high-level diplomat. Nabokov was for nearly three decades an outstanding and far-sighted player in international cultural exchanges during the Cold War, much admired by some of the most distinguished minds of his century for the range of his interests and the breadth of his vision. Nicolas Nabokov: A Life in Freedom and Music follows Nabokov's life through its fascinating details: a privileged Russian childhood before the Revolution; exile, first to Germany, then to France; the beginnings of a promising musical career, launched under the aegis of Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes with Ode in 1928; his twelve-year American exile during which he occupied several academic positions; his return to Europe after the war to participate in the denazification of Germany; his involvement in anti-Stalinist causes in the first years of the Cold War; his participation in the Congress for Cultural Freedom; his role as cultural adviser to the Mayor of Berlin and director of the Berlin Festival in the early 1960s; the resumption of his American academic and musical career in the late 1960s and 1970s. Nabokov is unique not only in that he was involved on a high level in international cultural politics, but also in that his life intersected at all times with a vast array of people within, and also well beyond, the confines of classical music. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources, Vincent Giroud's first-ever biography of Nabokov will be of interest readers interested in twentieth-century music, Russian music, Russian emigration, and the Cold War, particularly in its cultural aspects. Musicians and musicologists interested in Nabokov as a composer, or in twentieth century Russian composers in general, will find in the book information not available anywhere else.
