Abstract

Das fotografische Wandbild, das sogenannte photomural, wurde in den USA der 1930er-­Jahre zu einem Inbegriff nationaler Kunst und dabei als Gegenentwurf zum mexikanischen Muralismus positioniert. Johanna Spanke untersucht erstmals, inwiefern der Aufstieg des photomural als das Resultat eines Aushandlungsprozesses zwischen Mexiko und den USA begrif­fen werden kann, bei dem nicht nur nationale Identitätskonstruktionen und Modernitätsdiskurse eine Rolle spielen, sondern auch eine Medienkonkurrenz verhandelt wird. Der Band leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zu verflechtungs­geschichtlichen Perspektiven auf die US-­amerikanische Kunstgeschichte, der intermediale und transnationale Aushandlungen, aber auch Gender­ Aspekte zentral in den Vordergrund rückt. Erste Studie zu einem vergessenen fotografischen Medium Vorgeschichte der Fototapete Ein bislang unbekanntes Kapitel der US-amerikanischen Kunst The photographic wall-mounted work, the so-called photomural, became an epitome of the USA's national art in the 1930s; also as a counter-design to Mexican muralism. For the first time, Johanna Spanke analyzes the extent to which the rise of the photomural can be seen as emerging from a process of mediation between Mexico and the United States; one in which national identity constructs and discourses of modernity played a part, as well as negotiated competition between media. This publication makes an important contribution to perspectives on historical entanglements in U.S. art history, bringing to the fore intermedial and transnational debates, as well as gender-related factors.

Abstract

This volume documents the practice of bringing enslaved people to early modern Europe not only as a side effect of overseas colonial regimes but as a pan-European experience that even developed its own dynamics on the continent. Drawing on examples from France, Scotland, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Holy Roman Empire, the contributors show how slavery affected both the enslaved and the enslavers' societies, changing European notions of freedom, dependence, and subjugation. At the same time, Afro-European families and cultural productions challenge the view of the Black diaspora as Europe's "other." The volume thus reveals not only the roots of present-day racism extending far back into the past, but also a common heritage yet to be discovered.

Abstract

Since the early transformation of European music practice and theory in the cultural centers of Asia, Latin America, and Africa around 1900, it has become necessary for music history to be conceived globally - a challenge that musicology has hardly faced yet. This book discusses the effects of cultural globalization on processes of composition and distribution of art music in the 20th and 21st century. Christian Utz provides the foundations of a global music historiography, building on new models such as transnationalism, entangled histories, and reflexive globalization. The relationship between music and broader changes in society forms the central focus and is treated as a pivotal music-historical dynamic.
