Abstract

With several terms from the First World War still present in modern speech, Languages and the First World War presents over 30 essays by international academics investigating the linguistic aspects of the 1914-18 conflict. The first of the two volumes covers language change and documentation during the period of the war, while the second examines the representation and the memory of the war. Communicating in a Transnational War examines languages at the front, including the subject of interpretation, translation and parallels between languages; communication with the home front; propaganda and language manipulation; and recording language during the war. Representation and Memory examines historiographical issues; the nature of representing the war in letters and diaries; the documentation of language change; the language of representing the war in reportage and literature; and the language of remembering the war. Covered in the process are slang, censorship, soldiers' phrasebooks, code-switching, borrowing terms, the problems facing multilingual armies, and gendered language.

Abstract

The Wiener Werkstätte, or Vienna Workshops, was founded in 1903. The firm’s artistic co-founders, Josef Hoffmann and Koloman Moser, subscribed to the English Arts and Crafts ideal of exceptionally well-made objects designed by artists and executed by specialized craftsmen. Following the example of near contemporaries René Lalique and Louis Comfort Tiffany, Hoffmann and Moser shared the belief that jewelry should be valued for its artistic merit and not simply for its monetary value. &#13;&#13;This opulent publication, written by Janis Staggs, highlights masterpieces created by the Wiener Werkstätte between 1903 and the early twenties. It features significant pieces by Josef Hoffmann, Koloman Moser, Carl Otto Czeschka, and Dagobert Peche, among others. Supplemental materials include relevant periodicals, design drawings, and photographs of prominent clients.

Abstract

This book examines the working method, experimental techniques, and compositional choices Matisse used in works created between 1913 and 1917. The works that Henri Matisse (1869-1954) executed between late 1913 and 1917 are among his most demanding, experimental, and enigmatic. Often sharply composed, heavily reworked, and dominated by the colors black and gray, these compositions are rigorously abstracted and purged of nearly all descriptive detail. Although they have typically been treated as unrelated to one another, as aberrations within the artist's oeuvre, or as singular responses to Cubism or World War I, this book reveals the deep connections among them.

Abstract

Stel je voor dat je de jaren 1900 tot 1914 zou bezien zonder de schaduw die de gruwelijke gebeurtenissen van de twintigste eeuw daarover geworpen hebben.Stel je voor dat je niets wist van de Somme, van Stalingrad, Auschwitz, Hiroshima, dat de toekomst nog open en oningevuld zou zijn.Zo beschrijft Blom die veertien jaren: zoals ze beleefd zijn in al hun complexiteit en tegenstrijdigheid en met de bijbehorende hoop en vrees. Hoe zag Frankrijk eruit in 1900, ten tijde van de Wereldtentoonstelling? Wat hield de Engelsen bezig in het jaar waarin koningin Victoria stierf? Blom beschrijft de industriële ontwikkeling en de aanzienlijke versnelling waarin de wereld vervolgens raakte. De twintigste eeuw is niet begonnen in de loopgraven, maar in de duizelingwekkende jaren die eraan voorafgingen. Blom betrekt de literatuur en de beeldende kunst erbij en brengt zodoende het verleden op een buitengewoon aantrekkelijke wijze tot leven.https://www.debezigebij.nl/boek/de-duizelingwekkende-jaren/
