The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

October 2006Walter Benjamins Archive
Bilder, Texte und Zeichen
by Erdmut Wizisla, Erdmut Wizisla, Walter Benjamin Archiv, Michael Schwarz, Ursula Marx, Gudrun Schwarz
Von einer Sensation ist zu berichten: Das Walter Benjamin Archiv zeigt eine Fülle von großartigen, in weiten Teilen bisher unpublizierten und auch unbekannten Bildern und Dokumenten. Anläßlich einer Ausstellung in der Akademie der Künste, Berlin, wird, begleitet von einer internationalen Tagung und einer Vielzahl von Veranstaltungen, zum ersten Mal Benjamins Bildund Dingkosmos der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Solche Orientierung an Bildern und Dokumenten, an der Materialität der Gegenstände entspricht auch seinem Werk, das seinerseits ein Reservoir von Texten, Kommentaren, Elementen des Alltags, der Kunst und des Traums ist. Viele dieser Elemente sind als Bausteine in sein 'Passagen'-Projekt eingegangen, das die 'Urgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts ' erkundet. Darüber hinaus prägen Techniken des Sammelns und Archivierens die Arbeitsweise Walter Benjamins. Nachdem er aus Deutschland vertrieben worden war, schuf er die Voraussetzungen zur Rettung seiner, wie er sagte, 'unendlich verzettelten Produktion ', indem er Manuskripte, Notizen und Druckbelege bei Freunden in aller Welt deponierte Der reichillustrierte und kommentierte Band schließt erstmals Benjamins Archive auf: Notizhefte, in denen jeder Zentimeter genutzt wird; Register, Verzeichnisse und Karteien, die zugleich akribisch und kreativ geführt sind; Ansichtskarten, von ihm selbst kommentierte Fotoserien; eine Sammlung früher Worte und Sätze seines Sohnes Stefan, dessen Sprach- und Denkentwicklung Benjamin in Aufzeichnungen über Jahre verfolgte.

September 2020Walter Benjamin
Eine Biographie
by Howard Eiland, Michael W. Jennings, Irmgard Müller, Ulrich Fries
Im ersten Satz erklärt dieses umfassende, facettenreiche Porträt Walter Benjamin zu einem »der wichtigsten Zeugen der europäischen Moderne«. Damit ist das Programm des Buches vorgegeben: Detailliert wird der Zeuge in seinen Suchbewegungen verfolgt, wie er in herausragender und parteiischer Form den Geist seiner Zeit artikuliert, schwankend zwischen Jugendbewegung, Zionismus, Marxismus und Messianismus. Benjamins Hoffnung, einmal »erstrangiger Kritiker der deutschen Literatur« zu werden, erfüllte sich zu Lebzeiten nicht. Subjektive Dispositionen und objektive Verhältnisse drängten diesen Autor zunehmend in eine randständige, wenngleich von Freunden und Bewunderern geachtete Existenz. Wirtschaftliche Not, Verfolgung und Flucht prägten seine letzten Lebensjahre. Die Auseinandersetzungen um die Deutungshoheit über Benjamins Werk (und Leben) setzten bald nach Kriegsende ein: Wer vollstreckte das Testament in seinem Sinne - Theodor W. Adorno oder Hannah Arendt? Gershom Scholem oder die Neomarxisten Berliner Prägung? Oder gar die Studentenbewegung? Die nun endlich in deutscher Sprache vorliegende, vielgerühmte und reich bebilderte Biographie verarbeitet sämtliches verfügbare Material in einer der Objektivität verpflichteten Weise und stellt auch die unterschiedlichen Haltungen zu Benjamin auf den Prüfstand. Sie gilt schon jetzt als Standardwerk.

July 1973Studien zur Philosophie Walter Benjamins
Mit einer Vorrede von Theodor W. Adorno
by Rolf Tiedemann, Theodor W. Adorno
1965 zuerst erschienen, blieb das Buch Tiedemanns bis heute die einzige umfassende Darstellung der Philosophie Walter Benjamins; seit längerem vergriffen, wird es jetzt unverändert wieder vorgelegt. Nach Tiedemann untersteht Benjamins Denken, so energisch es den Habitus aller Schulphilosophie abgestreift hat, dennoch einem spezifisch philosophischen Formgesetz. Mit der Einsicht in dieses Formgesetz, das in der Geschichte der Philosophie kaum schon vor Benjamin begegnet, fällt die in den Wahrheitsgehalt des Benjaminschen Werks zusammen. »Während Tiedemann sich auf einige zentrale Komplexe beschränkt und vor dem ominösen Ideal der Vollständigkeit hütet, ist es seiner Konzentration gleichwohl gelungen, die Einheit, den strengen Zusammenhang und die konstitutive Kraft des Benjaminschen Denkens darzutun. Nach dieser Arbeit wird es keinem mehr möglich sein, sich hinter das Argument zu verschanzen, das von Benjamin Inaugurierte sei aperçuhaft oder rhapsodischen Wesens.« »Theodor W. Adorno«

K u n s t / A n g s t EIN ÜBERLEBENSHANDBUCH FÜR DEN KÜNSTLER Von DAVID BAYLES & TED ORLAND Worum geht es bei Kunst? Wohin bewegt sie sich? Welche Widerstände gibt es? DAS SIND DIE FRAGEN, AUF DIE ES ANKOMMT, wiederkehrende Fragen, die sich in jedem Stadium der künstlerischen Entwicklung stellen. Sie sind der Ursprung für dieses Kompendium scharfsinniger Beobachtungen. Kunst & Angst erforscht, wie Kunst geschaffen wird, die Gründe, warum Kunstwerke oft nicht entstehen und die Art der Schwierigkeiten, die so viele Künstler dazu bringt, auf der Wegstrecke aufzugeben. Dieses Buch handelt davon, was du fühlst, wenn du in deinem Atelier oder im Lehrsaal sitzt, du an der Töpferscheibe oder am Keyboard, vor der Staffelei oder hinter deiner Kamera stehst und du versuchst, das Werk, das dir bestimmt ist, zu schaffen. Es geht darum, dass du deine Zukunft in die Hand nimmst, den Freien Willen über Vorherbestimmung, die Wahl vor den Zufall stellst. Es geht darum, dein eigenes Werk zu finden.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2005Reading Walter Benjamin
Writing through the catastrophe
by Richard Lane
'Reading Walter Benjamin' explores the persistence of absolute in Benjamin's work by sketching-out the relationship between philosphy and theology apparent in his diverse writings, from the early youth-movement essays to the later books, essays and fragments. The book examines Benjamin from two main perspectives: a history-of-ideas approach situating Benjamin in relation to the new German-Jewish thinking at the turn of the twentieth-century, as well as the German youth movements, Surrealism and the 'Georgekreis'; and a conceptual approach examining more critical issues in relation to Benjamin and Kant, modern aesthetics and narrative order. Chapters cover: 'Kulturpessimismus' and the new thinking; metaphysics of youth: Wyneken and 'Rausch'; history: surreal Messianism; Goethe and the 'Georgekreis'; Kant's experience; casting the work of art; disrupting textual order; and exile and the time of crisis. The book uses new translations of Benjamin's essays, fragments and his 'Arcades Project', and makes substantial reference to previously untranslated material. Lane's text allows the non-specialist entry into complex areas of critical theory, simultaneously offering original readings of Benjamin and twentieth-century arts and literature. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2013Literary and visual Ralegh
by J. B. Lethbridge
This collection of essays by scholars from Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Taiwan covers a wide range of topics about Ralegh's diversified career and achievements. Some of the essays shed light on less familiar facets such as Ralegh as a father and as he is represented in paintings, statues, and in movies; others re-examine him as poet, historian, as a controversial figure in Ireland during Elizabeth's reign, and look at his complex relationship with and patronage of Edmund Spenser. A recurrent topic is the Hatfield Manuscript in Ralegh's handwriting, which contains his long, unfinished poem 'The Ocean to Cynthia', usually considered a lament about his rejection by Queen Elizabeth after she learned of his secret marriage to one of her ladies-in-waiting. The book is appropriate for students of Elizabethan-Jacobean history and literature. Among the contributors are well-known scholars of Ralegh and his era, including James Nohrenberg, Anna Beer, Thomas Herron, Alden Vaughan and Andrew Hiscock. ;

Humanities & Social Sciences8 BILLION REASONS POPULATION MATTERS
The Defining Issue of the 21st Century
by Valorie M. Allen
The world is about to hit a population level of EIGHT BILLION people on one small planet. Through Allen’s analysis of the situation, the realization sets in that the fights by environmental and world aid groups are all for naught as every gain is soon overwhelmed by the pressures of more growth. Our planet's greatest threat is of too many people depleting the Earth's resources and contributing to climate change. Allen offers a thorough analysis of our environmental, social, political, and economic crises; then offers a treasure trove of solutions and success stories that we can all take to heart.
