"In this study of surrealism and ghostliness, Katharine Conley provides a new, unifying theory of surrealist art and thought based on history and the paradigm of puns and anamorphosis. In Surrealist Ghostliness, Conley discusses surrealism as a movement haunted by the experience of World War I and the repressed ghost of spiritualism. From the perspective of surrealist automatism, this double haunting produced a unifying paradigm of textual and visual puns that both pervades surrealist thought and art and commemorates the surrealists' response to the Freudian unconscious. Extending the gothic imagination inherited from the eighteenth century, the surrealists inaugurated the psychological century with an exploration of ghostliness through doubles, puns, and anamorphosis, revealing through visual activation the underlying coexistence of realities as opposed as life and death.Surrealist Ghostliness explores examples of surrealist ghostliness in film, photography, painting, sculpture, and installation art from the 1920s through the 1990s by artists from Europe and North America from the center to the periphery of the surrealist movement. Works by Man Ray, Claude Cahun, Brassai; and Salvador Dali;, Lee Miller, Dorothea Tanning, Francesca Woodman, Pierre Alechinsky, and Susan Hiller illuminate the surrealist ghostliness that pervades the twentieth-century arts and compellingly unifies the century's most influential yet disparate avant-garde movement"--

Lady Gaga, Jilet Ayşe, Müslüm, Andy Warhol and Sun Ra are nationally and internationally known artistic characters. This publication deals with artistically designed identities at the intersections of visual art, performance, theatre, film, cabaret, stand-up comedy and music, analysing the currently widespread but as yet rarely explored nature of such artistic characters’ representation. These are fictional identities that artists create for themselves, with which they appear in various contexts and media. The contributions focus on aesthetic strategies and performative practices as well as the field of tension between the performing artist and the artistic character performed. Who are Maria Marshal, Jilet Ay¸se, Müslüm, and Soya the Cow? The representational form of artistic characters is investigated scientifically for the first time Lady Gaga, Jilet Ayşe, Müslüm, Andy Warhol und Sun Ra sind Kunstfiguren, die national und international bekannt sind. Diese Publikation befasst sich mit künstlerisch gestalteten Identitäten an den Schnittstellen von Bildender Kunst, Performance, Theater, Film, Kabarett, Stand-Up Comedy und Musik und analysiert die gegenwärtig medial verbreitete, aber noch kaum erforschte Darstellungsform der Kunstfiguren. Dabei handelt es sich um fiktive Identitäten, welche Künstler*innen selbst kreieren und mit denen sie in verschiedenen Kontexten auftreten. Im Zentrum der Beiträge stehen ästhetische Strategien und performative Praktiken sowie das Spannungsfeld von darstellenden Künstler*innen und dargestellter Kunstfigur. Mit Beiträgen von: Vivian Braga dos Santos, Simon Dickel, Sibylle Heim (Hochschule der Künste Bern), Daniel Inäbnit, Mira Kandathil, Katarina Kleinschmidt, Grit Köppen, Stefan Krankenhagen, Fabiana Senkpiel und mit einem Künstler*innen-Gespräch mit Idil Baydar (Berlin) und Semih Yavsaner (Bern). Wer sind Maria Marshal, Jilet Ay¸se, Müslüm oder Soya the Cow? Die Darstellungsform der Kunstfiguren erstmals wissenschaftlich untersucht

"The architect, Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992), has long been considered one of the major modern architects of the twentieth century in Brazil. The Glass House (1951), a residence for herself and her husband, gained wide acclaim, appearing in architectural periodicals throughout 1953-54. Her iconic Museum of Art of São Paulo (1968), and the bold, Social Service for Commerce Building-Pompéia, São Paulo (1986), have gained recognition in recent years and her reputation is beginning to be acknowledged internationally. Bo Bardi's major writings on architecture, however, have not been translated, and are not well known. This book contains the first English-language translation of Propeadeutic Contribution to the Teaching of Architecture Theory, (Habitat, Ltd. São Paulo, 1957), a seminal text, published in Portuguese by the Italo-Brazilian Bo Bardi. It is arguably the first published writing on architecture theory by a practicing woman architect. Accompanying the translation is an introductory essay that interprets Bo Bardi's text as a critical and constructive theory of architecture built from a collection of textual and visual artifacts. This translation clearly renders Bo Bardi's work in English, and contextualizes it theoretically, taking into account the specific historical sources and contemporaneous discourses from which it draws. With comparisons to other important architectural pedagogies and theoretical texts of the period, it is also an inquiry into the nature of architecture history and theory, its role in education and its relation to practice"--

After World War II, West Germans and West Berliners found ways of communicating both their recent sufferings and aspirations for stable communities through buildings that fused the ruins of historicist structures with new constructions rooted in the modernism of the 1910s and 201820s. As Modernism as Memory illustrates, these postwar practices undergird the approaches later taken in influential structures created or renovated in Berlin following the fall of the Wall, including the Jewish Museum and the Reichstag, the New Museum and the Topography of Terror. While others have characterized contemporary Berlins museums and memorials as postmodern, Kathleen James-Chakraborty argues that these environments are examples of an architecture of modern memorythat is much older, more complex, and historically contingent. She reveals that churches and museums repaired and designed before 1989 in Dfcren, Hanover, Munich, Neviges, Pforzheim, Stuttgart, and Weil am Rhein contributed to a modernist precedent for the relationship between German identity and the past developed since then in the Ruhr region and in Berlin. Modernism as Memory demonstrates that how one remembers can be detached from what one remembers, contrasting ruins with recollections of modernism to commemorate German suffering, the Holocaust, and the industrial revolution, as well as new spaces for Islam in the country.
