In addition to being a major twentieth-century author, John Dos Passos painted, principally in watercolor, throughout his career. This book reproduces 68 examples of Dos Passos's art, almost all in full color, presented in two parts containing 13 sections. In Part One, each section is devoted to a similar kind of art work produced within a specific time frame; in Part Two, each section consists of work in a specific genre. The book also includes essays devoted to the history and nature of Dos Passos' work as a pictorial artist and to the relationship of this work to his novels. It concludes with a survey of Dos Passos art collections, exhibitions, and previous published illustrations and paintings. The book as a whole seeks to demonstrate that Dos Passos's lifelong commitment to and practice of pictorial representation are vital aspects of his career because they confirm and manifest in both verbal and visual stylistics such modernist tendencies as Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism. Both the essays and illustrations in this book argue for the importance of Dos Passos's paintings as keys to fully understanding the writer's complex body of work and, in their striking compositions and vibrant colors, as challenging objects of visual pleasure in their own right.

"This is the first book-length project to examine the relationship between blackness, queerness, and hip hop. Using aesthetics as its organizing lens, Hip Hop Heresies attends to the ways that hip hop cultural production in New York City from the 1970s through the first fifteen years of the 21st century produced hip hop cultural products (film, visual art, and music) that offer "queer articulations" of race, gender, and sexuality that are contrary to hegemonic ideas and representations of those categories in hip hop production, as well as in writing about hip hop culture"--

This is a distinctive book that examines the diversity and energy of writing in a period marked by the unparalleled global prominence of Irish culture.This collection provides a wide-ranging survey of fiction, poetry and drama over the last two decades, considering both well-established figures and also emerging writers who have received relatively little critical attention. Contributors explore the central developments within Irish culture and society that have transformed the writing and reading of identity, sexuality, history and gender. The book examines the impact of Mary Robinson's Presidency; growing cultural confidence 'back home'; legislative reform on sexual and moral issues; the uneven effects generated by the resurgence of the Irish economy (the 'Celtic Tiger' myth); Ireland's increasingly prominent role in Europe; and changing reputation.In its breadth and critical currency, this book will be of particular interest to academics and students working in the fields of literature, drama and cultural studies.

Bilder des Krieges sind ein dominantes Thema in der griechischen und römischen Kunst. Darstellungen von Kriegertum und Kampf sind visuelle Zeugnisse sozialer Ideale, öffentliche Siegesdenkmäler sind Faktoren der politischen Herrschaft. Nachdem die Forschung eine große Zahl einzelner Denkmäler und Gattungen von Bildwerken untersucht hat, wird in diesem Buch eine Synthese vorgelegt, in der die unterschiedlichen Konzepte und Wahrnehmungen des Krieges von der griechischen Frühzeit bis zur späten römischen Kaiserzeit kontrastiv gegeneinander gestellt werden. Dabei werden nicht nur die Funktionen der Bildwerke für die explizite Verherrlichung von Sieg und Ruhm dargestellt, sondern vor allem auch die ambivalenten impliziten Triebkräfte untersucht, die der kriegerischen Gewalt als Motivationen zugrunde liegen. In vier Kapiteln wird jeweils eine dieser Motivationen als prägende Kraft in einer Epoche des antiken Kriegswesens vor Augen geführt: Archaisches Griechenland: Glanz und Exzess des kriegerischen Heldentums; Klassisches Griechenland: Impulse und Risiken der politischen Identität; Alexander der Große bis Augustus: Ambition und Manifestation universaler Herrschaft; Römische Kaiserzeit: Imperiale Ideologie und militärische Realität. Images of war in Greek and Roman art reveal much more than the mere veneration of victory and glory. This book examines ancient Greek and Roman sculpture and memorials to reveal the ambivalent motivating forces that underlie the violence of war to this day: individual heroism, political identity, universal rule, and imperial ideology.
