Empire of Law: Nazi Germany, Exile Scholars and the Battle for the Future of Europe (Cambridge Studies in European Law and Policy) by Kaius Tuori
2020 | ISBN: 1108483631 | English | 328 pages | PDF | 6 MB
European legal integration is often justified with reference to the inherent unity of European legal traditions that extend to ancient Rome. This book explores the invention of this tradition, tracing it to a group of legal scholars divided by the onslaught of Nazi terror and totalitarianism in Europe. As exiles in Britain and the US, its formulators worked to build bridges between the Continental and the Atlantic legal traditions, incorporating ideas such as rule of law, liberty and equality to the European heritage. Others joined the Nazi revolution, which promoted its own idea of European unity. At the end of World War Two, natural law and human rights were incorporated into the European project. The resulting narrative of Europe, one that outlined human rights, rule of law and equality, became consequently a unifying factor during the Cold War as the self-definition against the challenge of communism.

Ecocriticism and the Anthropocene in Nineteenth-Century Art and Visual Culture (Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies) by Maura Coughlin, Emily Gephart
2019 | ISBN: 0367180286 | English | 284 pages | EPUB | 78 MB
In this volume, emerging and established scholars bring ethical and political concerns for the environment, nonhuman animals and social justice to the study of nineteenth-century visual culture. They draw their theoretical inspiration from the vitality of emerging critical discourses, such as new materialism, ecofeminism, critical animal studies, food studies, object-oriented ontology and affect theory. This timely volume looks back at the early decades of the Anthropocene to query the agency of visual culture to critique, create and maintain more resilient and biologically diverse local and global ecologies.

Dream Projects in Theatre, Novels and Films: The Works of Paul Claudel, Jean Genet, and Federico Fellini by Yehuda Moraly
2020 | ISBN: 1789760364, 1789760887 | English | 224 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
Every artist has a "dream project" - an enterprise that he or she has continuously taken up but never completed. Via archived notes and drafts, a retrospective reconstitution of such projects can serve as a key for better understanding the author's artistic corpus. The present study reaches out to the authorship of Paul Claudel, Jean Genet, and Federico Fellini. Claudel deferred and never completed the fourth segment of his Trilogie des Coufontaine. Like the unfinished fourth section that was to be added to the trilogy, the draft of the third version of Tete d'Or reveals a dialogue between the Old and New Testaments - a theme that appears to be central to Claudel's entire corpus. Genet labored over La Mort for many years. While the project never came to fruition, it nevertheless remains an important means through which to understand Genet's work. The aborted production of Fellini's Voyage de G. Mastorna has become a legend. Fellini would often revisit this project, but never completed it. This book also examines additional "dream projects" taken from different art forms: poetry (Mallarme's Le Livre); literature (Vigny's Daphne); painting (Monet's Nympheas); music (Schoenberg's Moses und Aron); and various films (Clouzot's L'Enfer, Visconti's La Recherche, Kubrick's Napoleon, etc.).

Cultures of Selling: Perspectives on Consumption and Society since 1700 (The History of Retailing and Consumption) by Laura Ugolini
2018 | ISBN: 1138262781, 0754650464 | English | 312 pages | EPUB | 1 MB
The study of consumption and its relationship to cultural and social values has become a vibrant and important field in recent years. Hitherto however, relatively few detailed and full length works on this topic have been published. In what will become a seminal volume, this book examines retail selling in various historical contexts and locations, as both an activity at once 'mundane' and almost universal. The book introduces the reader to the existing literature relevant to the subject; and explores the widespread perceptions of moral ambiguity surrounding the practice of selling consumer goods - ranging from concerns about the adulteration of goods, to fears about sharp practice on the part of retailers - and places such concerns in the context of wider societal values and ideas. The ambivalence towards retail selling and sellers is also a central focus of the collection, focussing on the attempts by retailers to develop selling techniques and successful practices of salesmanship, and at the same time establish widely-shared understandings of 'good' retailing. The book also delves into the more dubious practices of retail selling, including practices on the margin of legality, the issue of credit and changing attitudes towards debt. Uniquely the book examines how sales techniques relate to the wider context of a whole shopping 'experience' or shopping environment. Taken as a whole, this volume will provide a first port of call for students, researchers and others interested in exploring consumer cultures, and the cultural norms and practices involved in the sale of consumer goods in various historical periods and geographical contexts.
