Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mongameli Anthony Mabona (1929) is a singular South African scholar with an exceptional life path. Yet, he is a wrongly forgotten figure today. British imperialism and apartheid shaped the world into which he was born and, to a large extent, these powers carved out his destiny for him. Nevertheless, a curious set of coincidences enabled him to obtain a tertiary education as a priest, to pursue his doctoral studies in Italy and to befriend Alioune Diop. He is one of the first published philosophers of Anglophone Africa and holds doctorates in theology and anthropology. His opposition to institutionalized racism - an opposition which included his co-authoring the 1970 'Black Priests' Manifesto' - eventually led to his exile. This book is the first study of any kind devoted to Mabona. It documents his life and offers a synoptic reading of his scholarly and poetic work.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the months and years immediately following the First World War, the many (European) countries that had formed its battleground were confronted with daunting challenges. These challenges varied according to the countries' earlier role and degree of involvement in the war but were without exception enormous. The contributors to this book analyse how this was not only a matter of rebuilding ravaged cities and destroyed infrastructure, but also of repairing people¿s damaged bodies and upended daily lives, and rethinking and reforming societal, economic and political structures. These processes took place against the backdrop of mass mourning and remembrance, political violence and economic crisis. At the same time, the post-war tabula rasa offered many opportunities for innovation in various areas of society, from social and political reform to architectural design. The wide scope of post-war recovery and revival is reflected in the different sections of this book: rebuild, remember, repair, and reform. It offers insights into post-war revival in Western European countries such as Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Italy, as well as into how their efforts were perceived outside of Europe, for instance in Argentina and the United States.Luc Verpoest is emeritus professor of architectural history and conservation at KU Leuven.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Photography was long regarded as a ¿middle-brow¿ art by the art institution. Yet, at the turn of the millennium, it became the hot, global art of our time. In this book¿part institutional history, part account of shifting photographic theories and practices¿Alexandra Moschovi tells the story of photography¿s accommodation in and as contemporary art in the art museum. Archival research of key exhibitions and the contrasting collecting policies of MoMA, Tate, the Guggenheim, the V&A, and the Centre Pompidou offer new insights into how art as photography and photography as art have been collected and exhibited since the 1930s. Moschovi argues that this accommodation not only changed photography¿s status in art, culture, and society, but also played a significant role in the rebranding of the art museum as a cultural and social site. Alexandra Moschovi is an Associate Professor of Photography and Digital Media in the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries at the University of Sunderland.
