        Design and popular entertainment

        by Christopher Breward, Christopher Frayling, Emily King, Bill Sherman

        Design and Popular Entertainment offers a selection of nine essays that examine the range of design for popular entertainment, from theatre and film, to television and radio. Investigating entertainment design from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s, the book is divided into two sections. The first addresses the 'hardware' of popular entertainment, in other words the objects through which images, sound and performance are transmitted. The second explores the construction of cinematic and televisual imagery and the design of objects for the screen, the 'software' of entertainment. In so doing it offers important insights into this little explored aspect of design. Topics covered by the collection include the design of theatrical lighting and stage sets, cinema and radio design, the representation of designers within film, and the relationship between design and television. The book's concentration on the 1950s and 1960s reflects the profound changes in modes of entertainment that took place during that period, in particular the spread of television, which not only attracted a huge popular audience but also stimulated experimental designing approaches and thinking. With particular focus on the way that both the objects and the construction of entertainment have altered audience's experience, the essays present a novel approach to the subject. This book will be of particular interest to students and teachers working in design and cultural history as well as film and theatre studies. ;

        From entertainment to citizenship

        Politics and popular culture

        by John Street, Sanna Inthorn, Martin Scott

        From entertainment to citizenship reveals how the young use shows like X-factor to comment on how power ought to be used, and how they respond to those pop stars - like Bono and Bob Geldof - who claim to represent them. It explores how young people connect the pleasures of popular culture to the world at large. For them, popular culture is not simply a matter of escapism and entertainment, but of engagement too. The place of popular culture in politics, and its contribution to democratic life, has too often been misrepresented or misunderstood. This book provides the evidence and analysis that will help correct this misperception. It documents the voices of young people as they talk about popular culture (what they love as well as what they dislike), and as they reveal their thoughts about the world they inhabit. It will be of interest to those who study media and culture, and those who study politics. ;

        Flughunde

        Graphic Novel

        by Ulli Lust, Marcel Beyer, Andreas Platthaus, Marcel Beyer

        Seit dem Erscheinen seines ebenso brillanten wie erschütternden Romans »Flughunde« im Jahr 1995 gilt Marcel Beyer als »einer der besten jungen Romanciers der Gegenwart« (The New Yorker). »Flughunde«, mittlerweile in 14 Sprachen übersetzt, erzählt vom Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs aus der Perspektive eines fanatischen Akustikers im Dienste der Nazis und aus der Sicht einer der Töchter Goebbels’, erzählt von der Instrumentalisierung der Sprache durch die Propaganda und von Experimenten mit menschlichen Stimmen. Ulli Lust, eine der bedeutendsten deutschsprachigen Comic-Künstler und erst kürzlich mit dem Comic-Oscar, dem Prix Révélation, ausgezeichnet, legt hier Marcel Beyers verstörendes Meisterwerk als Graphic Novel vor.

        Partyspaß mit Kant

        Philosofunnies

        by Nicolas Mahler

        Nicolas Mahlers kleine Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie von Platon bis Foucault Philosophie ist unverständlich, langweilig und witzlos? Denkste! Das kann nur der behaupten, der noch nicht Nicolas Mahlers ebenso kluge wie subtil komische Comic-Geschichte der Philosophie kennt. Hier erzählt er bislang unbekannte Szenen aus dem Leben der 22 berühmtesten Philosophinnen und Philosophen: Wir erleben Partyspaß mit Kant, besuchen mit Hegel eine Kunstausstellung, sind mit Marx im Supermarkt und mit Nietzsche im Pfadfinderlager, gehen mit Deleuze ins Kino und feiern Traumhochzeit mit Simone de Beauvoir … Und auch wenn sich nichts so zugetragen hat, haben wir mehr über das Leben, Denken und Fühlen des jeweiligen Philosophen erfahren als je zuvor – und wie selten über die Absurdität unserer menschlichen Existenz gelacht.

        Comic empires

        Imperialism in cartoons, caricature, and satirical art

        by Richard Scully, Alan Lester, Andrekos Varnava

        Comic empires is a unique collection of new research exploring the relationship between imperialism and political cartoons, caricature, and satirical art. Edited by leading scholars across both fields (and with contributions from contexts as diverse as Egypt, Australia, the United States, and China, as well as Europe) the volume provides new perspectives on well-known events, and illuminates little-known players in the 'great game' of empire in modern times. Some of the finest comic art of the period is deployed as evidence, and examined seriously, in its own right, for the first time. Accessible to students of history at all levels, Comic empires is a major addition to the world-leading 'Studies in Imperialism' series, as well as standing alone as an innovative and significant contribution to the ever-growing international field of comics studies.

        Das große Beginnergefühl

        Moderne, Zeitgeist, Revolution

        by Robert Misik

        Konventionen zertrümmern, Wahrnehmung revolutionieren, Neues imaginieren – das war der Geist der radikalen Moderne. Bert Brecht sprach vom großen Beginnergefühl. Heute scheint jeder utopische Optimismus verflogen – ist es damit ein für alle Mal vorbei? »Keineswegs!«, hält Robert Misik solchen Abgesängen entgegen. Er unternimmt einen Parforceritt durch 200 Jahre linke Kunst: von Heinrich Heine bis Elfriede Jelinek, von Patti Smith bis Soap & Skin, vom Bauhaus bis zum Gemeindebau. Das Aufbegehren gegen das Überholte und die Revolutionierung der Stile sind auch heute die große Aufgabe der Kunst, genauso wie Exzess und Intensität. »Ändere die Welt, sie braucht es«, sagt Misik mit dem alten BB. Er skizziert ein ästhetisches Programm jenseits von Kommerz, Entertainment und dem ewig schon Dagewesenen.
